Embracing Canada: Our Remarkable Journey in Toronto

From the moment we landed in Toronto in April 2018, our decision to embrace life in Canada has led us through an enriching 9-month journey. We navigated through renting apartments, job hunting, immersing ourselves in cultural and social activities, and exploring the city in every possible way.

During this time, we encountered challenges and celebrated successes. Some obstacles we tackled on our own, while at other times, we were fortunate to make invaluable friendships. The advice and support from these friends helped us along our path.

A few months ago, I met Cansın, who had come to Toronto for language studies. She runs an Instagram account and blog named “Gastronomic Engineer,” focused on food and travel. After connecting on Instagram, we had a delightful meetup in Toronto.

One of Toronto’s best aspects is the people you meet along the way. Meeting warm, like-minded individuals like Cansın made our experience even more rewarding. We’ve had the fortune of meeting wonderful fellow Turks here, making this city feel a bit more like home.
