Destination London Toronto: Moving to the UK? Start Here.

Destination London: Move. Settle. Connect.

Thinking about moving from Canada to London? Find out what the move really involves before you commit.

Destination London brings nearly 20 years of Canadians in London experience together with specialists in visas, tax, banking, housing, relocation and more for two practical evenings at 1 King West in Toronto.

This isn't just a presentation.

It is an opportunity to ask questions, meet the people who can help with your move, book private one-to-one conversations and connect with other Canadians considering exactly the same journey.

Whether London is firmly in your plans or simply on your radar, Destination London is for you.

Wednesday 16 & Thursday 17 September 2026

6:00pm–10:30pm | 1 King West, Toronto | Tickets $25

Your ticket includes the Destination London workshop, canapés, a producer-led wine tasting with Pillitteri Estates Winery, networking and access to available specialist one-to-one consultations.

What does moving to London actually involve?

There is a lot more to a successful move than getting a visa and booking a flight.

We will look at the practical questions Canadians need to think about before they arrive:

Visas & immigration – Which routes are available and what happens next?

Tax – What changes when you leave Canada and become UK resident?

Banking & money – Setting yourself up and moving money between Canada and the UK

Renting & housing – What London costs, how renting works, where to consider living and how to secure a place without a UK credit history

Employment – Understanding the UK job market and working culture

Relocation & shipping – What to move, what to leave behind and how to plan the process

Settling in – The practical and cultural things nobody tells you before you arrive

Costs – What should you realistically budget for your first few months?

Connections – How to start building a social and professional network before you land

The aim is simple: help you arrive informed, prepared and already connected.

Talk privately with the experts

Some questions are difficult to answer from a stage because everyone's circumstances are different.

Destination London therefore includes a programme of pre-bookable private one-to-one consultations with participating specialists covering:

Tax · Banking · Foreign Exchange · Visas & Immigration · Relocation & Shipping · Pet Relocation

This is your opportunity to discuss your own circumstances directly with specialists who deal with international moves every day.

UK-based experts will also be available for selected daytime consultations via Microsoft Teams.

Appointments are limited and should be reserved in advance.

Meet other Canadians making the move

One of the most valuable parts of the evening may simply be meeting other people.

Some will already have their visa. Some will be interviewing for jobs. Some will be moving with families or partners. Others will only just have started thinking about London.

Destination London gives you a chance to start building your London network while you're still in Toronto.

A taste of Canada

Guests can also enjoy a producer-led tasting with Pillitteri Estates Winery of Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Supporting Canadian businesses, producers and products in the UK has long been part of what Canadians in London does, so we're delighted to bring a taste of Niagara to Destination London.

Discover the wines, hear the story behind the producer and enjoy a glass while meeting some of the people you may soon be crossing the Atlantic with.

Who is it for?

Destination London is designed for Canadians considering the UK through routes including:
