How to prepare for your trip to Canada?

Canada is a country with 4 seasons, and today at Velosa Immigration, we want to tell you how you can prepare for your trip depending on the season or time you arrive.

Spring

(March-May)

Spring is the season when winter ends and the snow begins to melt. You will also notice that there will be a lot of rain which will help the plants to bloom, the grass to grow and the trees to dress in green. At this time of the year, you will notice a significant change in temperatures due to the transition from the cold of winter to the freshness of spring. That is why it is recommended that you always carry an umbrella, a warm coat, a pair of rain boots and a hat. We recommend that you be careful because, at this time, due to the pollen generated by the change of season, many people develop allergies and get sick frequently due to the circulation of many viruses; the flu and colds are the most common viruses of this season.

Summer

(June - August)

To the surprise of many, Canada also has high temperatures in summer. Temperatures range between 20 degrees Celsius and can even exceed 30 degrees. Depending on the province, temperatures can intensify due to the humidity generated from June to August. In these months, many families buy inflatable pools for their children to enjoy this season. Mosquitoes, flies, ants, and ticks are prevalent during this season. Sometimes the sun’s rays can be very strong, so it is advisable to use sunscreen, cool and light clothing. This is an excellent time to come to Canada as you can explore more of the city and enjoy different activities. Something very important is that there are many job offers in summer, which will facilitate the job search for international students.

Fall

(September - November)

This is one of the favorite seasons for many Canadians. As the high temperatures of the summer begin to drop and the atmosphere starts to cool down a bit. The days become shorter as there are fewer hours of sunshine. It is an ideal season for you to enjoy activities such as visiting farms to pick apples and pumpkins, cycling routes to appreciate the beautiful fall colors, photo shoots, hiking, picnics, and many more activities. If you arrive at this time, bring a warm coat, boots and a pair of gloves. Sometimes the first snowfall is at the end of November. Temperatures range from 20 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius, so we recommend you pack your luggage with warm clothes.

Winter

(December - March)

Winter may be one of the longest seasons of the year for many. This can also vary depending on the province you are in. Some provinces have very cold winters, like others, such as British Columbia, where the winter is “warmer” and less intense. Most commonly, winter temperatures range from -10 to -15 degrees Celsius, but you may feel colder due to wind chills during this season. In winter you can do many activities with your family, you can practice snowboarding, and ice skating, among others. The most advisable thing to do in order to enjoy this season is to look for the appropriate clothing to protect you from the intense temperatures. We suggest you buy winter hats and winter coats which can be closed entirely in the front so as not to expose the chest, do not forget gloves, earmuffs, a good pair of socks and above all a pair of boots preferably with rubber soles to avoid falls that can generate fractures. If you are planning to travel during this season. In that case, we recommend buying most of your clothes in Canada since you can find good options at excellent prices. This is when most people first check their cell phones to see what the weather and temperature will be like, how they should dress, how much snow will fall, and how warm they should leave the house. And that’s it; this is our summary of the seasons in Canada and how you should prepare for your trip depending on the season in which you arrive.
