Default Finally moving!

Hello everyone! So I have finally booked my flight to Toronto and will be arriving April 5th. I have finally done what I have wanted to do for 5 years!
I am 26 year old male ,originally from London moving to Toronto on my own.
I am excited but it's sure going to take some time to get used to watching football at 10 am , not having Guernsey milk , crispy duck and clotted cream haha!

Also from past experiences when I have been in Miami or Los Angeles for an extended period I seemed to miss hearing a British accent... wierd I know!

Hi, and welcome to BE.

What takes you to Toronto, is it for a job, or a spouse, or......??

Good luck with the move.

OK, this is probably a really stupid question, but you have got a visa right?!

He's only moving to Toronto. It's not as if it's the west coast or anything!

Phew! So do you have family in Toronto?

There's loads of info from those in Toronto on here, a quick search will find lots, and if you have any questions then just shout and somebody will always try and help.

Good luck with the move.

Victoria, BC may be the closest.
