Are you considering a move from the United States or Canada to Israel? Relocation can be an exhilarating yet challenging experience. At Ocean Relocation, we’re here to guide you through every step of your journey, from the initial thought to your successful integration into Israeli life.
Why Choose Israel?
Israel offers a unique blend of ancient history and cutting-edge innovation. Here are compelling reasons to consider relocation to Israel, especially in the current global context:
- National Resilience and Community Spirit: Recent challenges have showcased Israel’s unity and national resilience. This is an opportunity to be part of a strong, united community that supports each other through thick and thin.
- Economic Opportunities: Despite recent challenges, the Israeli economy continues to recover and grow, especially in high-tech and innovation sectors. This presents exciting and rewarding career opportunities, particularly for those in tech-related fields.
- Enhanced Government Support: In light of recent events, the government is likely offering additional incentives for new immigrants, including economic benefits and integration support. This can significantly ease your transition.
- Meaningful Contribution: This is a unique opportunity to contribute to strengthening and rebuilding the nation, both economically and socially. Your skills and experience can make a real difference.
- Quality of Life: Despite security tensions, Israel still offers a high quality of life, with an advanced healthcare system, quality education, and a warm family and community atmosphere.
- Global Playing Field: As Ocean Relocation emphasizes, relocation to Israel allows you to play on a global field in your career. You’ll have the chance to work with international companies and be at the forefront of innovation in many industries.
- Cultural Enrichment: Living in Israel exposes you to a diverse and rich cultural environment. It’s an opportunity to immerse yourself in a new language, customs, and way of life, broadening your perspectives and those of your family.
- Educational Growth: For families with children, relocation offers an unparalleled educational experience. Your children will have the opportunity to become multilingual and gain a global perspective from an early age.
- Personal Empowerment: At Ocean Relocation, we believe that relocation is one of the most empowering experiences you can have in life. It challenges you to adapt, grow, and discover strengths you may not have known you possessed.
- Supportive Relocation Process: With companies like Ocean Relocation, you’re not alone in this journey. From pre-departure planning to post-arrival settlement, professional support is available to ensure a smooth transition for you and your family.
Remember, while these reasons are compelling, the decision to relocate is deeply personal and depends on individual circumstances. It’s always recommended to stay informed about the current situation and consider all aspects before making a decision.
At Ocean Relocation, we’re here to provide you with the most up-to-date information and support you need to make an informed choice about your move to Israel.
The Relocation Process: Where to Begin?
- Assess Your Needs: Every relocation is unique. Consider your reasons for moving, family requirements, career goals, and lifestyle preferences. At Ocean Relocation, we believe that each relocator has their own unique story and specific needs.
- Legal Requirements: Understand the visa and work permit processes. If you’re eligible for Aliyah (immigration for those with Jewish heritage), familiarize yourself with the benefits and procedures. We can assist you in navigating these complexities.
- Financial Planning: Research cost of living, tax implications, and potential benefits for new immigrants. Our tax consultation services can help you navigate these complexities, which can differ depending on whether you’re coming from the US or Canada.
- Housing: Decide whether you’ll rent or buy. We can assist in finding suitable accommodation that meets your needs and budget, whether it’s a long-term home or temporary housing during your transition.
- Education: If you have children, research schools and educational options. We offer services to help match and register your children in appropriate schools and kindergartens, ensuring a smooth transition for the whole family.
- Healthcare: Understand the Israeli healthcare system and ensure you have proper coverage. We can guide you through the process of joining an Israeli health fund.
- Employment: If you’re not relocating for work, explore job opportunities or business prospects in Israel. Our team can provide insights into the Israeli job market and connect you with relevant resources.

Relocating from the US vs. Canada: Key Differences
While the overall process of relocating to Israel is similar for those coming from the US and Canada, there are some key differences to be aware of:
- Tax Considerations:
- US citizens have a more comprehensive tax treaty with Israel but must continue filing US tax returns even after relocating.
- Canadian citizens may face more complex tax issues due to a less comprehensive tax treaty.
- Climate Adjustment:
- Canadians, especially those from northern regions, may experience a more significant climate change when moving to Israel.
- Americans, particularly those from southern states, might find the climate transition less dramatic.
- Community Networks:
- There’s a larger Israeli-American community in Israel, potentially offering broader support networks for US immigrants.
- The Israeli-Canadian community, while present, is smaller, which might affect the availability of specific support networks for Canadian immigrants.
At Ocean Relocation, we understand these nuances and tailor our services to address the specific needs of immigrants from both countries.
