What do I need to know before moving to Ottawa?

Answer this Question

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Ottawa, they said...

"Ottawa is the capital of Canada and is a great place to live for expats. It is a bilingual city, with both English and French being spoken. The city has a vibrant cultural scene, with plenty of festivals, museums, and galleries to explore. The cost of living in Ottawa is relatively low compared to other major Canadian cities, making it an attractive option for expats. The city is also well-connected, with an extensive public transportation system and easy access to the rest of Canada and the United States. Expats should also be aware of the cold winters in Ottawa, with temperatures often dropping below freezing," said another expat in Ottawa, Canada.
