Hi there,
I am a Canadian citizen living in Greece. I wish to move to Canada to live and work.
My main question is, in case of having no one to host me until i get a job, is it possible for me to rent a place or do i need a guarantor?
Does the government provide an unemployment benefit and/or a place and what are the requirements for that?
i have already started sending CV's from Greece and i got a few replies for interviews but they ask for an in person interview and i am not sure if interview in Skype is an option.
I would also like to ask if its possible to travel to canada to stay permanentley with my Greek passort or do i have to issue a Canadian one.
Thank you
Vasia

Hello Vasia,
Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.
Regarding your question about renting a place and guarantors, you can find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org Do I need a guarantor or co-signer? article.
In terms of finding a place to stay, you can also find some helpful information in our Settlement.Org What do I do if I arrive with no place to stay? article.
In terms of what type of financial assistance is available, you can find some information in our Settlement.Org Can I get financial assistance in an emergency? article.
Regarding travelling back to Canada, you can find some information in our Settlement.Org Do I really need a PR card to travel back to Canada? article.
Here is an excerpt,
What about Canadian Citizens?
If you are a Canadian citizen, you do not need a PR card. You need a Canadian passport for international travel.
If you are in Canada, you can call the CIC Call Centre for more information about your situation at 1-888-242-2100.
You can find some important information regarding re-entering Canada on the Travel.gc.ca website.
As a citizen of Greece, you do not need a visa to visit or transit Canada. However, it would be best if you contact the Embassy of Canada in Greece to find out what your best option would be to re-enter Canada.
I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
