Advice on finding rent.
 

Hello.
Wonder if anyone can help me as i can assume that you have been in the same situation as myself.
I am looking at flying out to Regina, Saskatchewan at the end of this month and am now looking for accommodation before booking my flight.

I have been on the website kijiji looking at furnished condos and also looking on Craigslist is this the best route to go
or is there a better / easier way?

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

thank you

I used craigslist but just keep your eyes open and wits about as many are scams. For short term you can try airbnb, then look in person when you arrive. Safer option imo. Good luck.

you could also look online at the local newspapers online in classifieds or if its somewhere you've been before reach out to friends on social media

Thank you for your replies.
i am under the impression that when i land i will need to give them an address i am staying at so i really need to find a place before i go out.

Do you mean for your landing card, or for your PR card?

If it's just your PR card, then put any Canadian address. You can use a friend's or whatever, it doesn't have to be your own.

You can also get in touch with realtors in the area and ask them to help you find places to lease.

I was told about an app that a few people have used called Padmapper I have been looking for when we come out later in the year.

Also bear in mind that Saskatchewan has just had flooding, windstorms,hailstones as large as a golf ball and a tornado. There are a lot of people displaced and so if their not in their own house at the moment due to the recent issues then they be renting so that may affect what rentals you can get.

Oh was it the hole of Saskatchewan that was hit? was Regina badly effected?

I have contacted Quite alot of adds online and finding that i am not getting any replies.
I can imagine it might not sound right getting an email from some guy in Scotland wanting to rent there house.
But the search goes on
