Housing for Canadians Abroad

How to Find Accommodation

Regardless of the country you have chosen to go to, you will have abundant options for accommodation, from quick-fix, temporary accommodation such as Airbnb to more affordable, long-term options such as those that local people access in your destination country.Ā 
It’s important to research accommodation options and to get an idea of what your monthly rent might be in your target country, bearing in mind that more central housing options will always cost more than living slightly further from the city centre. Researching your local transportation network and options for commuting to the city centre can help you widen your search area and find the best housing option for you.Ā 
Co-Living is one of the best and easiest accommodation options for anyone new to a country. Forget about having to call and view endless apartments that don’t meet your standards, negotiating with landlords who don’t fully trust you and having to have proof of employment and three months worth of paychecks before you are able to rent. Co-Living accommodation offers amazing rooms and apartment in the best locations at affordable prices. They are fully furnished and often include bills.Ā 
IIN has partnered up with two of the largest Co-Living companies offering rentals in most of the YMA countries, so that you can stay ahead of the game and move abroad knowing exactly where you’re going!
