Air Canada knows moving to a new country can be hectic. From packing to sorting out all the necessary paperwork, while dealing with the prospect of starting over in a new place, it is a period that can be both exciting and daunting. To ease some of that stress, Air Canada has launched a Newcomer Program webpage to help Hong Kong arrivals find information they need when moving to Canada. Travelers can now enjoy a limited time 10% off discount when booking a one-way flight to Canada and enjoy a stress-free journey, while pet owners can also relocate with their pets hassle-free with Air Canada’s selected pet partners.
