Landing in Canada is overwhelming.
You’re not looking for complex legal “advice.” You’re looking for practical, data-driven answers to everyday questions:
- “Which grocery store is actually best for a family on a budget?”
- “What’s the real difference between all the newcomer bank accounts?”
- “How do I find a winter coat that will last, without spending $1,000?”
You’re looking for a guide that has done the research. You found it.
This is the companion you wish you’d had.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make your journey easier by providing detailed “Researcher” notes for every practical problem a newcomer faces.
We are not a personal blog. We are a data-driven lifestyle guide.
This site is your notebook of “Finds” that will help you build your new life—from the best budget winter boots to a comparison of cell phone plans.
About The Editor-in-Chief
Hello, I’m Lucky, the founder of TrueCanadianFinds.
In 2022, I landed in Ontario with my family. I realized I wasn’t just looking for a friend; I was looking for data. I couldn’t find a single source that just compared my options clearly.
So, I built it.
I created this site to be the “Helpful Researcher” for all of us. My experience as a newcomer (and mom of 3) is the lens we use to do our research, but the research is the core of what we do.
What This Site is NOT
I am not an immigration lawyer, a financial advisor, or a real estate agent.
You will never find legal or financial “advice” here. Our editorial standard for topics like Money, Life and Health is strict:
- We will only present curated research of official links and publicly available data.
- Any first-hand experience will be clearly labeled as such and is not advice.
What This Site IS
This is your field guide to the real parts of newcomer life that no official guide talks about. We do the research so you don’t have to.
How This Site Can Help You
We’ve organized the site into our main research hubs:
- Getting Settled: Research on navigating those confusing first 90 days.
- Canadian Family Life: Real talk and data on raising kids in Canada, from schools and activities to surviving winter.
- Canadian Home & Shopping: Our data driven guides to the Canadian marketplace—from grocery stores to bank accounts.
