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!

There’s a bookstore in Toronto that sells one genre only: Horror 👻 and true to theme, their entire store is lovingly curated with books for all degrees of horror, spooky (Casper kind of spooky) corners and nostalgic throwbacks.
It’s called: Little Ghosts @littleghostsbooks
Location: 📍Dundas W

Big fat recommendation: cocktails at @fairmontfrontenac 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 If you’re in #QuebecCity stop by 1608 - the bar at @fairmonthotels 💗 I rarely ever post in the moment but these cocktails deserve all the praise they can get. You’re truly talented @antho.dubois 🍸 #oldquebeccity #oldquebec #fairmontmoments #fairmonthotel

A liberty village gem I was recently introduced to: @brodflour. They bake their own bread and have seriously deliciously sandwiches made fresh every morning. You can also grab coffee & fresh baked pastries here 😍 (it’s a grab & go spot)

Day trip & overnight stay rec from Toronto: the storybook town of Picton 👒
We drove down to Prince Edward County for a day trip and visited Picton, an adorable town with more than two lakes (one on top of a mountain). Stopped for lunch at 📍Miller House Café, and stumbled upon a gem. If you’re looking for a restaurant that feels like a country club situation on a mountain with a view of the lake - this place is it 🤍
While there, try the flambées and the smoked local whitefish (it’s like a dip that comes with toasted bread)
Another local gem is the Lake on the Mountain Brewing Company - try their wheat beer 🌾 & cream ale
What I wouldn’t recommend is taking the Glenora Ferry to the other side - it’s much prettier on this side. We did take the ferry and then drove down to Napanee but there wasn’t much to do and it was nothing to write home about.
If you’re visiting Prince Edward County, plan to stay at least one night so you can drive around and experience the area. It’s so beautiful and a day trip doesn’t do justice.

Swipe for a #localgem: The town of Orillia, with it’s vibrant surf-spot vibe 🏄♀️ is also home to @lonewolf_cafe! We visited off-season so I can’t comment on what the place feels like during the summer but I imagine it’s full of tourists.
They have an adorable town centre/main “downtown” area by the lake, which has boutique stores & cafés. Perfect day trip destination or a pit stop on your way to Muskoka 🚗
