About Me

Hello there, I am Ri, the blogger behind Arrived in Canada. I write about being a newcomer in Canada and all that comes with resettling in a new country.

My husband, two kids, and I lead a quiet life in Toronto. I have spent the last decade navigating the intricate dance of relocating across countries. Amidst the constant change, I’ve honed a lifestyle centered around frugal living and strategic investing.

I work at a Financial Services company during the day. I also mentor newcomers to Canada as a mentor with TRIEC. My passion lies in unraveling the secrets of financial stability during the process of resettling in new environments. Through my journey, I’ve become an advocate for sharing insights on effective ways to save and invest money while embracing the thrill of exploring new horizons.

I’m thrilled to have you here and embark on this journey together as newcomers to the beautiful land of Canada. Arrived in Canada isn’t just a blog—it’s a warm, inviting space crafted for newcomers like you. Here, you’ll find a wealth of resources, tips, and insights to ease your transition and help you embrace your new Canadian life with confidence.

Having experienced the challenges and excitement of moving to a new country firsthand, I understand the mix of emotions that come with this significant transition. From navigating the bustling streets of Toronto to discovering the picturesque landscapes of Vancouver, my mission is to be your guide and support system as you settle into this diverse and welcoming nation.

Whether it’s understanding the complexities of Canadian culture, unraveling the bureaucratic maze of paperwork, discovering hidden gems in your neighborhood, or planning your finances by saving and investing in Canada, I’m here to lend a helping hand every step of the way.

Through a blend of personal experiences, practical advice, and a sprinkle of Canadian humor, I aspire to make your settlement journey smoother, more enjoyable, and filled with valuable insights that you won’t find in guidebooks or immigration websites.

So, join me as we embark on this adventure together! Feel free to explore the blog, engage with the community, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you have questions, or suggestions, or just want to say a friendly “hello.”
