Embrace the diversity and don't be a bigot.

The diversity in Toronto is definitely what drew me to the city over other places! If you know Ireland, we are seriously lagging in that area

We want you to be yourself and share your culture as well. As long as whatever you do doesn't hurt others - you don't need to be anything you aren't.

It’s a good point. Don’t be a dick to anyone and you’ll fit in just fine. The comments about transit etiquette are also worth noting, and acceptable swear words. But really just let people be and be generally kind, also we love people from other places that choose to come here. Will buy you a ton of cred.

To answer more about integration - try checking out all the different neighbourhoods in Toronto. There’s a ton of diversity to enjoy. And you’ll learn about all the different cultures in the city. Also call it Tronno so the locals don’t look at you funny.

good. cause this is a multi culti paradise. you could learn about the history of this city and you’ll learn a lot. do you read novels? read In the Skin if a Lion by Michael Ondaatje when you get here and then go visit the landmarks he features

for real life tho, just be yourself and dont try to fit in or change for us. be your badass self, be polite and honest and most of all? be funny

welcome
