Choosing where to post
If you have a question, start in r/ImmigrationCanada: it is set up for exactly that, and with about 50 new posts a day there are plenty of people around to answer. There are regional communities too — r/canada, r/PersonalFinanceCanada and r/canadatravel — which are the better choice for local prices, shops, events or rules.
A simple rule of thumb: ask questions in the specialised communities and share your best finds in the big ones, where they can reach the most people. Always read the rules in the sidebar first — each community is run by its own volunteer moderators. Our guide to searching Reddit explains how to dig through any of these communities, and the subreddit info tool gives you the stats of one we don't list.
