Finding a home in Canada
Rental rules are provincial. In Quebec, leases are often signed for a year with renewal on July 1; in Ontario, a standard lease form is mandatory for most homes.
Without a Canadian credit history, a landlord may ask for references, an employment letter or other guarantees: prepare these documents before viewings.
