What actually happens in your first months here — the paperwork, the rules, the money, and the things nobody tells you until it is too late. Written for the Persian-speaking community in Canada, and sourced.
Social insurance number, health card, bank account, transit pass. What to do first, what can wait, and the one thing about Quebec health cover that catches Iranians out.
