Subtle Differences and the Government of Canada

: While this is an amazing opportunity, there can be challenges once you arrive as you try to navigate a new system, culture and perhaps even a new language, as well as learning the subtle differences of working and living in a new country, according to Huffington Post Canada. Depending on your situation, the most immediate concerns include basic necessities such as finding a place to live, getting a job and opening a bank account. For many newcomers it can be overwhelming and stressful, but also exciting and filled with anticipation about the future. The Government of Canada provides many immigration services to help you get started with the process of settling in, and refugees specifically may be able to access services through the Resettlement Assistance Program. This will give you a safe place to deposit and access your money whenever you need it. In fact, a $2.5 million funding commitment was recently made by RBC to support Syrian refugees and other newcomers to Canada -- money that will be used to help settle, develop skills and prepare for employment. One of the first things you'll need to do is open a Canadian bank account. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
