Our goal is to provide each of our clients with a realistic and cost-effective plan that suits all of their needs. At the end of the relocation process, you and your loved ones will have everything in place to make your move as stress-free as possible.
Throughout the years we’ve had the opportunity to help people move to various destinations throughout Canada, the US and around the world, it’s fair to say that each relocation is unique. We are there with you through every step of the process by providing you the information and tools you need.
Many of our clients are relocating for the first time, with this comes a wide range of emotions. There are many logistic and emotional changes that come with any employee relocation, at times it can even seem overwhelming. It’s not uncommon for people to feel a wide range of emotions – from being nervous to feeling enthusiastic. Our team will have a strong understanding of your relocation goals and will guide you with the information you need to make the moving process enjoyable.
There are always going to be both positive and negative feelings during an employee relocation. It can be hard to leave behind the people and places that are core to your current lifestyle. It’s important to focus on the positive things that made you want to move in the first place, such as career advancement, adventure, the opportunity to experience new surroundings and increased income. Focusing on the positives will help you navigate through many of the negative feelings you may experience.
We have found that many people benefit from visiting their future home in advance of their move. This is a great way to gain an understanding of your new home and how it can fit with you and your family’s lifestyle. A visit is also a great way to gain some important information that will help you after your move.
With so many steps needed to make a move happen, it can quickly become overwhelming. There are many essential things that need to be done including visa applications, finding accommodations, making travel arrangements, booking movers, purchasing insurance coverage, and many other important tasks. Our team will make these steps easier by utilizing both our moving experience and industry connections. We are there to make things run smoothly and cost-effective; making sure no detail is overlooked. It’s important to note that some elements of your relocation such as visa applications can take multiple months to process, even the slightest oversight can have a major impact and can even delay your move.
The Internet allows relocating employees the ability to easily access information about their future destination. This research will help you feel comfortable once you’ve arrived at your new home, helping you focus on your new work opportunity. Our goal is to help you transition from one chapter of your life to another with minimal stress.
After months (and sometimes years) of planning you’ve arrived at your destination, your relocation is now very real. It’s not fair to expect an instant sense of feeling at home, it will take some time, but with the right planning, it won’t take long. Explore your new community and locate places such as the gym, local shops, transit stops, restaurants, parks and anything else that suits your lifestyle.
Be sure to keep in touch with loved ones back home, it can get lonely once you’ve arrived at your destination and this contact can really help with the transition. Technology such as Facetime and Skype can help lessen the effects of homesickness. Facebook and other social media tools allow you the ability to quickly tap into the lives of the people you care about back home. It can also help to get out there and explore your new home and meet new people (including fellow expats).
