    Hi friends

    I will be moving to Ontario, Canada by June to join my husband who is working over there.
    Could you please provide me info on what all should I carry there, to set a new house. Regarding the necessary clothing too.

    Thanks
    Lovekids

    As Sreemu told you will get everything except parents :). If you prefer homemade powders try to get them. I would advice you to get kitchen utensils ( I'm comfortable with our utensils). Try to get everything flat, coz it is induction stoves. Try to get non stick tava and pan. They are slightly expensive here. I recently got a good brand for 200$. Also remember that the sales tax is high here and the cost of living is high in Canada. Be prepared. Do not convert to indian rupees. I would advice for intial days try to get some food stuffs from India. Coz you dont know how far the indian store is from the office/house.

    Depends on which location your husband's job is you can chose housing. Esp in Ontario 60-70% are immigrants. Every 4th person you see on the road is a brown skin.
    Summer is a good time and you will surely enjoy

    Hi Gomes,

    How are you finding the cold out there? I am moving to Waterloo next month and am just worried how the kids will manage. I heard that grinders are available in amazon. is that so, or should we bring it from here?
