MOVING TO CANADA
All about moving to Toronto, studying at Schulich and exploring the country
In 2019 I moved to Canada to study in the IMBA program at the Schulich School of Business. Relocating has been a journey of many ups and downs that I’ve put together in this section, to offer information, experience, and hope to anyone who is making the decision to move countries.
Read on, for a student’s perspective on life in Canada, working your way into an incredible job and stories from travels and trials in this fair country.

Stumbling Around The World
Hi! I’m Nikita Butalia:)
Let’s Stumble Around The World Together
Welcome to Stumbling Around Delhi! I’m Nikita Butalia and you’re about to join my journey of discovery that began around my home city of New Delhi but ended up around the world. A passion for travel and endless wanderlust led to a massive appetite for travel that’s never satiated since. Here’s to inspiration from sunsets, mountain tops and late night city lights. Happy reading!

Moving to Canada: Chapter 2
Took me a while to write this one because it was one of the toughest things that happened while I was moving. The intro has been shared here but the rest (and the main part of the article) is on the blog.
The link in the bio will take you directly to the “Moving to Canada” post, which also includes Chapter 1. Just scroll down to read the next chapter!
In case you missed Chapter 1, the link has the full story 😊

Vegan chocolate-coffee fudge cake: Made at home by my mama! Not one to share recipes on the blog (this might be my first tbh) but I got sooo many DMs requesting this recipe. Asked my mum to pen it down + uploaded it on the blog. Link’s into the bio. Bon Appétit! 👩🍳

Nothing prettier than @distilleryto in December 🎄❄️ Missing the patio vibe!
Even without this year’s Christmas market, it looks just as wonderful, with its holly, Christmas garlands, warm yellow lights everywhere and massive Christmas tree. 😍

Where to eat in Ottawa downtown: swipe to see the list! It comes from 4 hours of doing nothing but eating our merry way around town 🤷🏻♀️

When I started the blog manyyyy years ago, I studied at Delhi University and usually spent free time at cafés around town. So I started the blog to talk about my fav desserts, cute reading books & wine bars. The name “Stumbling Around Delhi” was rather befitting then.
I started working and taking a ton of short trips, weekend getaways and hill cottage getaways (evidenced in the feed, you’ll find it all as you scroll through). So the name Stumbling Around Delhi made sense then too.
Started traveling outside India quite a bit and the name began to feel like a stretch. But it catered to young Indian travellers so it somewhat made sense for anyone who was looking for an Indian’s perspective on travel abroad (including travel trips/suggested itineraries etc)
Since moving to Canada, I’m still writing about travel, still from an Indian perspective, but now it’s more about moving here, living here and stumbling around Canada more than it’s about Stumbling Around Delhi.
I’m so attached to the name of the website, because it somehow captures exactly what I’ve been doing through the years- which makes me reluctant to give it up.
But I also know that resistance to change gets us nowhere. So I’m wondering if it’s time to cut the chord and change the name of the blog to something else?
If you’ve never visited it before, it’s www.stumblingarounddelhi.com ❤️
What do you think- change or no change?

Some bonfire and some steaming hot choc (covered in marshmallow and pretzels 🥰), served with a view of the @cntower. Keeping cozy in an otherwise freezing city ❄️ at @stacktmarket.
Toronto makes it easy to love the Canadian winter (only until December though 😂)

Gotta stop everything & run outside because campus is COVERED IN SNOW! ♥️❄️🌲 What a view to wake up to!
I know that tomorrow when snow turns into slush I’m going to find it incredibly inconvenient BUT today is magical and that’s all that matters ✨ ☃️

Sharing my story of moving to Canada & living here for the past year. Swipe to read the first chapter; it’s also uploaded on the blog- www.stumblingarounddelhi.com 🍁
I get a lot of DMs asking about life in Canada: whether I like it here, whether it feels like home, questions about my school and program, what the working environment is like, best practices in looking for a job etc. (Some about the PR process as well, which I really can’t answer 😂)
Hoping that through the Moving to Canada section on the site I’ll be able to answer some of your questions. I’m starting with a little backstory about what it felt like to me, in order to give you some context and lay the groundwork. Perhaps it would help you understand the “why” behind my opinions.
Happy reading!
