Canadians in London - Your guide to London life

14/07/2026

It’s all in the numbers.

Our latest website data does more than show where people are visiting Canadian.London from. It reveals what they are actually looking for.

Visitors in Canada are researching the move: jobs, housing, banking, tax, healthcare and the practical steps involved in relocating to the UK.

Visitors already in Britain are searching for help with settling in, building careers, managing cross-border finances and connecting with trusted services and the Canadian community.

The search patterns show a clear journey —- from considering the move in Canada to building a life in the UK.

Read the article to see what Canadians on both sides of the Atlantic are searching for and what the numbers tell us about their priorities.

🚨 Rental scams are increasingly targeting expats and newcomers searching for homes from abroad.

The warning signs are not always obvious. You may be asked for a viewing fee, pressured to send a deposit quickly, or shown convincing photos and documents for a property that does not exist, is not available, or is being offered by someone with no right to rent it.

In the worst cases, people arrive in London to find they have no home at all - or several other tenants standing outside believing they rented the same property.

If it sounds too good to be true? It definately is!
Never pay a viewing fee.
Always verify the landlord, agent and property.
Be cautious of listings in public or poorly moderated social media groups.
Never let urgency override proper checks.

If it feels off, stop and verify before sending any money.

Please share this with anyone planning a move to London.

Moving money between Canada and the UK?

We’ve just added a new guide looking at the different foreign exchange options available - from Wise and Revolut to standard banks and specialist FX providers.

The article looks at what to consider for smaller transfers, larger sums, property moves, inheritance, relocation funds, and situations where timing the exchange rate really matters.

Because when you’re moving money across borders, the headline fee is only part of the story. The exchange rate, timing, support, and ability to set target rates can all make a real difference.

We’ve updated our Accessing NHS & Private Healthcare guide with more practical tips for Canadians moving to the UK.

The page now includes guidance on transferring Canadian medical records, prescription continuity, registering with a GP, and planning ahead for medications that may need extra review, including ADHD medication, controlled drugs, specialist mental health medication, pain medication, hormones, injectables and other specialist treatments.

A useful starting point before you move, or if you’re already here and trying to get your healthcare set up.
