What Should You Expect When Moving to Europe

Europe is a diverse and complex region made up of more than 40 countries, each with its own language, culture, legal systems, and lifestyle norms. When planning a move to Europe from Canada, understanding these differences in advance is essential for a smooth and successful transition.

Whether you are relocating for work, education, retirement, or a new lifestyle opportunity, thorough preparation helps reduce stress and avoid unexpected challenges after arrival. Below are key factors to research and plan for before moving to Europe.

Key Considerations Before Moving to Europe:

  • Language
    Research the official language(s) of your destination, including common writing systems. Even where English is widely spoken, learning basic local phrases and recognizing everyday signage will significantly improve daily interactions and integration.
  • Currency and Cost of Living
    Not all European countries use the Euro. Understand the local currency, typical living expenses, and how pricing compares to Canada. This will help you budget accurately for housing, transportation, utilities, and groceries.
  • Currency Exchange and Banking
    Speak with your international relocation coordinator or financial advisor about currency exchange rates, international banking options, and best practices for transferring funds securely.
  • Cultural Differences
    Being aware of these differences, particularly when relocating to regions such as Central, Southern, or Eastern Europe, where social customs and daily practices may differ from those commonly experienced in Canada, can help reduce culture shock and support a smoother adjustment.
  • Religion and Public Customs
    Learn about the primary religions practiced in your destination country and how they influence public holidays, business hours, and local traditions.
  • Economy and Employment
    If you are relocating for work or starting a business, research the local economic environment, employment regulations, and professional licensing requirements.
  • Climate and Seasonal Changes
    European climates vary significantly by region. Understanding local weather patterns will help you pack appropriately and plan for seasonal conditions.
  • Local Amenities and Services
    Research access to essential services such as supermarkets, healthcare facilities, schools, government offices, and public services near your new home.
  • Transportation and Driving Regulations
    Familiarize yourself with public transportation systems, driving laws, and whether vehicles drive on the left or right. If you plan to bring a vehicle, verify whether importing it is practical and compliant with local regulations.
  • Shipping to Europe
    If you intend to ship household goods, vehicles, or specialty items, consult with Orbit International Moving Logistics early to review international shipping options, documentation requirements, and destination-specific regulations.
  • Visas and Residency Documentation
    Each European country has its own visa categories and residency rules. Contact the appropriate consulate or embassy for the most current requirements and begin the application process well in advance.

Moving to Europe requires time, planning, and reliable logistical support. Orbit International Moving Logistics provides comprehensive international relocation services, including documentation assistance, professional packing, customs clearance, and shipping to Europe for household goods and vehicles.
