About

Canadian Money Journey is a free, step-by-step guide to money in Canada for immigrants and newcomers. It is written by the admin of a large online community of newcomers in Canada, who is an immigrant too.

Why this blog exists

Every week, people in our community ask the same questions: Which bank should I use? How do I build credit? What is a TFSA? This blog answers them in plain English, one step at a time, so anyone can start from zero and finish with a simple money plan.

How this blog makes money

  • Some posts may include affiliate links. If you open an account through one, I may earn a commission, at no extra cost to you.
  • Every post that has an affiliate link says so clearly, before the first link.
  • I only include products I use or would use myself, and I always show other options and the downsides too.
  • Commissions never decide what a post recommends. If a no-commission option is better for you, the post says so.

Please note

Everything here is general information, not financial, tax or legal advice. Rules, rates and offers change. Each post shows when its figures were checked, and links to the official sources. For your own situation, check those sources or talk to a licensed professional.
