About Moving2Canada
Moving2Canada is a free online resource for people planning a move to Canada, settling in Canada, or exploring their options for the future.
We provide clear, up-to-date information on Canadian immigration, employment, and settlement — from the latest news and policy updates to detailed program guides, practical explainers, tools, and resources that help newcomers make informed decisions.
Moving to a new country is one of the biggest decisions you can make. It can be exciting, overwhelming, and full of questions. Moving2Canada is here to help you understand your options, plan your next steps, and build your life in Canada with confidence.
Our content is free to access thanks to government grants and partnerships with carefully selected commercial partners. These partnerships allow us to keep our resources free while connecting newcomers with services that may support their journey.
How We Create Our Content
Moving2Canada is committed to providing clear, accurate, and practical information for people planning their move to Canada.
Our content is informed by official Canadian government sources, including Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC), provincial and territorial immigration departments, and other relevant government agencies.
We regularly monitor IRCC news releases, ministerial announcements, program delivery instructions, operational updates, application guides, public policies, and changes to immigration program criteria. We also review updates from provincial nominee programs, settlement organizations, labour market sources, and trusted newcomer support services.
Our goal is to translate complex immigration, employment, and settlement information into plain-language resources that help newcomers understand their options and take informed next steps.
While we work hard to keep our content up to date, immigration policies and program requirements can change quickly. We encourage readers to review official government sources or seek professional advice when making important immigration decisions.
Moving2Canada offers the following resources:
- Immigration News and Program Updates: we share up-to-date information about changes to immigration policy and processes, life in Canada, and other news that impacts newcomers to Canada.
- Free Moving2Canada Newsletter: Access free tailored checklists, information and resources, relevant links to exclusive offers from our partners and the latest immigration news.
- Exclusive Offers from relevant partners that provide helpful services and products for newcomers to Canada.

Moving2Canada is a Free Resource

Why We Do It
Canada faces a challenge: newcomer success and retention. Too often, newcomers like you end up underemployed and unable to reach your potential, sometimes leaving Canada before establishing roots.
Our founder, Ruairi Spillane, saw this and recognized that planning and access to quality information are critical for your success. In 2012, Moving2Canada was started to empower you to build your dream lives here, in Canada. With federal government support, we relaunched our website in 2023 to provide you with even better tools and resources to make your move confidently. We play a critical role in helping you achieve success and stay in Canada long-term.
We’re here to help you every step of the way.
Welcome to your new home.
