Back to Top Housing In Canada, people generally live in single dwelling homes, or in apartments. Both these types of accommodation are available for rent or sale. You should be prepared, upon arrival, to spend some time in a temporary lodging such as a hotel until you can make suitable arrangements, unless you have pre-arranged accommodation. If you plan to purchase a home, it will generally take 1-2 months to 'close' the deal from the time you put down a deposit, so be prepared for this. Also, apartment vacancy rates vary, so be prepared for fluctuations in availability and price.
Local newspapers are often a simple and easy source for information about local housing and costs.
You may wish to consult a lawyer if purchasing a home or entering into a lease to be apprised of your legal rights.
