To work in Canada, you will need to get a work permit. They are usually good for one year. If you still need to be in Canada for work after that, you can get another one. Your company should handle that with a lawyer.

A furnished apartment probably is the best idea. There are a number of different buildings with corporate apartments in them along Yonge and Bay. If you are working in the financial district, try and get something that is south of Bloor.

Transit is available, and if you are working downtown and living along the subway line, very easy to use. Best to get a limo to and from the airport.

If you are going to be here in the summer, there are a lot of festivals that run on the almost every weekend in the summer worth checking out.

Obvious tourist attractions are the CN Tower, Casa Loma, Royal Ontario Museum, Art Gallery of Ontario and Metro Toronto Zoo. The Bata Shoe Museum is supposedly really interesting. Toronto has lots of great, ethnic and mixed neighbourhoods. Check out Kensington Market, China Town, Little India, The Danforth (Greek) and Little Italy to start.

Enjoy TO,
