Nine apps to enhance your life in Canada

Newcomers often face a steep learning curve when adapting to life in Canada.

Digital tools can help to ease this transition.

The CIC News team has compiled a list of nine mobile apps that newcomers can download to enhance their life in Canada.

Entertainment
NFB Films: The National Film Board of Canada’s NFB films app allows users to watch over 6,000 films, without any ads or subscription fee. Users can also save films for up to 48 hours for off-line viewing, allowing them to watch on the plane even if they don’t have wi-fi.

Weather
The Weather Network: The Weather Network app provides information about local forecasts to help newcomers better plan for their day and week ahead. It can also be helpful for getting a feel of the weather in a city or region of Canada, as the weather across this country can vary greatly depending on where you live.
