There is a constant churn of influencers posting a flood of content filled with exuberance about their fresh move to this place or that, and Portugal is no exception to this rule. I was heavily influenced by one influencer from Canada that had moved to Portugal named Yvonne. If she could do it, I said …
Most sites that provide information about relocating to Portugal are run by people who are looking to make money from providing relocation services, and therefore don’t give a balanced view of some of the difficulties one will inevitably experience in moving here.
This site has a mandate to provide unbiased information from a Canadian perspective to those considering making the move to Portugal. Other sites may sugar coat some difficulties you may encounter moving here. I do not take money from any source, I run this site as a free service to keep it unbiased and sugar free.
Much of the information and most of the resources in english give information that is relevant to Americans, but there is a lack of information geared to the Canadian immigrant to Portugal. Canada is a completely different country than the USA, and Canadians will have a different experience moving here.
