Financial clarity for newcomers to Canada.
Built specifically for people moving to Canada. Reviewed by accredited Canadian professionals. Powered by real data — never guesses.
Why Maple Insight exists
Moving to Canada is one of the biggest financial decisions a person ever makes — and the existing tools all assume you're already a resident with a SIN, a credit history, and a tax file. That leaves newcomers piecing together rent estimates, IRCC proof-of-funds tables, and tax brackets across a dozen tabs at midnight.
We built Maple Insight to be the tool we wish we'd had: one place where you can model the actual cost of landing — rent, transit, taxes, immigration fees, the IRCC floor — and walk away with a number you can plan against. No fluff. No upsells. No advice we can't back up with a citation.

How we build our estimates
Every number on Maple Insight comes from a citable source. Here's exactly where the data comes from.
How we source rent data
We pull from the CMHC Rental Market Survey, refreshed quarterly. City-specific 1BR and 2BR averages — not national medians that hide local realities.
How we model taxes
Federal and provincial 2025 brackets, applied to your projected income with newcomer-specific assumptions (partial-year residency, first-time credits).
How we estimate settlement costs
Upfront costs (immigration fees, deposits, flights) plus 6 months of monthly minimums plus an IRCC proof-of-funds floor. The higher number wins.
