The Newcomer Collective
Moving to a new country is anything but easy…
It’s normal to feel isolated.
Anxious about the unknown.
Homesick for the country and family you left behind.
Stressed about building a career or meeting new people.
Through weekly podcast episodes and online events, this is the place to
hear honest, real-life stories and lessons from others who
have chosen Canada as their new home.
We’ve been through it too…
What better people are there to show you what to expect, the mistakes to avoid,
which experts to trust and how to build a maple syrup-soaked life that you love?!
PODCAST
Every Tuesday, we interview a new international living in Canada. They share all about their native country, the reason behind their move to Canada and their lessons learnt along the way. Listen to the honest truth about life in Canada and get one step ahead by learning from our mistakes!
EVENTS
Coming Soon. In the meantime, check out what we got up to at our Xpat Xpo trade show and networking event held in Toronto! We had 30+ exhibiting companies (from banks to phone plans), inspiring immigrant speakers, face painting, prize giveaways and more – It was the ultimate celebration of Canada’s multiculturism.
RESOURCES
Join the Newcomer Collective and receive 50 FREE tips from Newcomers to Canada straight to your inbox. We had so much fun asking hundreds of internationals living in Canada what they wish they knew BEFORE they moved! The resulting guide is full of fun facts and valuable tips to hit the ground running.

Hi! I’m Kate – The founder of the Newcomer Collective.
In 2016, I fell in love with a tanned carefree Canadian whilst travelling through Thailand. Cue an unexpected move across the world: From crowded England to a new life in rural Ontario…
I quickly realised that building a new life in Canada is a constant rollercoaster of ups and downs. Throw in a brutal Canadian winter season and you can start to feel isolated and overwhelmed. I craved a place to connect with others who were going through the same struggles as me. I wanted to hear other people’s experiences and advice so that I could be one step ahead.
So I created one! The goal of this newcomer story portal is to show that you are NOT alone.
By sharing our experiences and achievements with each other, it’s clear how much potential we have in Canada. We are a pretty inspirational bunch.
I’m so glad you’re here.
