About this Event

Destination London brings practical relocation guidance, specialist advice and Canadian community connections together at one Toronto event

Destination London: Move. Settle. Connect.

Planning a move from Canada to the UK involves far more than securing a visa and booking a flight. Destination London brings practical relocation guidance, specialist advice and Canadian community connections together at one Toronto event, co-hosted by Canadians in London and Trowbridge at 1 King West.

Whether you are moving for work, applying through UK Ancestry or the Youth Mobility Scheme, joining a British partner, relocating with your family or transferring into a senior London role, you will get practical answers, meet relevant specialists and connect with others preparing for the same move.

Event details

Wednesday 16 and Thursday 17 September 2026, from 6pm
