Many find the pace of life to be much faster than what they are accustomed to, and the cost of living can be quite high. Additionally, the weather can be quite unpredictable, with extreme temperatures in both summer and winter. Furthermore, the city is quite multicultural, and many expats find it difficult to adjust to the different customs and languages. Finally, the city can be quite crowded, and traffic can be a challenge to navigate," explained one expat living in Toronto.

"There is a big cultural difference between China and Canada. Inititally I found hard to be fully aware of the difference, then it came the challenges to express it accurately.
