Hi, and welcome to the forum.

A little more information might help in answering your questions. First of all, where are you coming from? (And what nationality do you have, if not the same as where you are now living?)

Why are you moving to Canada and why within the next 6 months? (It makes a big difference if you're joining family, marrying a Canadian or whether or not you "need" to work to support yourself.)

If you're planning on working, what sort of qualifications and/or experience do you have? (Some qualifications are easier to transfer than others, and if you go over on the points system, some qualifications are more valuable than others.)

Any idea what part of Canada you want to go to? (Makes a huge difference for jobs and housing availability.)

Not trying to pry, but a little more information would make answering your questions a little easier.
Cheers,
Bev

Hi Leanne, welcome to Expat Forum

Check this site for information on visa options and routes into Canada, Welcome to Citizenship and Immigration Canada.
You do not need a job first, but it could be quicker that way.
Specific skills are required.
Canada is a big place always places to rent!!!!

Like Bev said if you have more specific details the answers will be more specific
Good luck with your research Louise
