My boyfriend and I are moving to Toronto at the start of January and are looking for a place to live while we're there. Does anyone know how we can find somewhere before we get there? Any suggestions would help so much! Thanks guys.

I was in TO about 10 years ago (yikes) and the only way to get a decent apartment was to be awake when the paper showed up at the local newsstand and be ready to start calling at 08:00... However, since you're arriving in the summer if you're ... Read More
