Hi Chandra, The website is great for new immigrants to have an idea before coming and settling in Canada. With regard to housing, I suppose to add up mortgage insurance as it is important for newcomers who haven't any direct help from family or community as it's used to be at their home...

You have to shop around with many agents. Regarding insurance in Canada, for home and car in particular, I recognized that the premium is calculated based on their experience of claims from their clients. So, an agent quote high for home but maybe low for car and vice versa. In Ottawa, a day...

Hi, I'm not sure to understand you well. As we don't expect to go outside the airport, you mean there is service of rooms for rent inside the airport or it's just public chairs for passengers waiting next flight. Thanks,
