To Americans who emigrated to Canada:
Please talk to me about what surprised you, good or bad, about making that move.
I don’t need to know about Canada’s immigration process, its requirements, or the time and money it takes. Assume I’ve done my research there.
But I want to hear about the little (or big!) things that did or still do arise when you were approved, and made that move. What didn’t you know, and you wish you’d known?

I hope you get replies, I think this is on a lot of people's minds right now.

@introversion Your credit rating doesn’t come with you; be prepared to deposit some money to get a secured credit card for a year or so to build up your credit.
Retail stores order what they think they can sell; we learned the hard way to buy the shirt in the size we wanted when we saw it and not wait for it to go on sale.
I’m sure there’s more, I’ll keep thinking.

@patrickfoster21 @introversion Oh, that reminds me: vehicle insurance records from some states are not recognized.
In my case: Florida. Even though I paid for my records to show I had no claims or accidents, they said the Florida ones weren't recognized, so my driving record was set as if I had zero years of driving experience. Had to restart with insurance rates as if I was a brand new driver.
This was 25 years ago. Maybe things have changed since then.
