Jenny's story
The honest picture of living in Canada
Jenny Amelenko moved to Canada 24 years ago as an immigrant herself, so she knows first-hand that arriving in a new country is about far more than paperwork. It is also about real life. Where to live, how the healthcare system actually works, what everyday costs look like, how to settle in, and which questions are worth asking before you make a big decision.
Based in Toronto, Jenny is a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) in good standing with the College of Immigration and Citizenship Consultants (CICC), and a Certified Global Mobility Specialist (GMS®). Over more than 10 years in Canadian immigration and global mobility, she has helped people understand their options, prepare for major moves, and feel more confident about starting life somewhere new.
Canada can be an appealing choice for many North Americans, but the real picture matters before you start planning. Cost of living, healthcare access, immigration options, weather, housing, and lifestyle can vary widely from one province or city to the next. What works beautifully in one place may not fit you at all in another.
Through Retire Abroad Hub, Jenny offers practical, experience-based conversations for anyone thinking about retiring, relocating, or simply spending more time in Canada. As your Canada local guide, she can help you explore what life here actually looks like and answer the practical questions that are hard to settle from online searches alone.
People usually come to me with questions about housing, healthcare, cost of living, safety, transportation, climate realities, differences between provinces, and what everyday life in Canada is really like.
Canada can be a great place to live, but it is important to understand the practical realities first. I can help you explore what life here actually looks like before you make your next decision.
As someone who came to Canada as an immigrant and later became a Canadian citizen, I can help you understand the real-life experience of living here, including both the opportunities and the practical challenges.
