Rus Atlantic: Moving to and living in Atlantic Canada

Rus Atlantic is a guide for newcomers moving to Canada, with a special focus on the Atlantic provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. We cover the practical side of relocating, from a step-by-step moving checklist to finding your first job as a newcomer.

Our cost of living guides compare Halifax and other Atlantic cities so you can budget realistically, and our neighbourhood guides help you choose where to settle. Settling in is about culture too, so we explain Canadian slang and everyday phrases and share tips for surviving your first winter.

Immigration rules change often, so always check official government sources. For everything else, we hope Rus Atlantic makes your new life in Canada a little easier.
