Winter underestimation — -20C with wind chill is brutal. Need proper winter gear: insulated coat, waterproof boots, layers. Rental market speed — Good apartments go in hours. Be prepared with documents, references, proof of income. Credit history void — No Canadian credit history = harder to rent, get phone plans. Build credit early. OHIP wait period — 3 months without coverage for new residents. Get private insurance for gap. Car insurance shock — Much higher than US. CAD 200-400/month for new drivers. Tipping expectations — 15-20% expected everywhere (restaurants, bars, haircuts, taxis). Sales tax surprise — 13% HST not included in displayed prices. Winter driving — Snow tires legally required Dec 1 - Apr 30. All-seasons not enough. PATH dependency — Underground city is great in winter but confusing. Learn the routes. Bay Street assumption — Finance jobs concentrated in one area, but tech is spread across downtown.
