FAQ
How much is a Sudbury transit pass?
As of 2026-03-24, GOVA Transit charges CAD 100.50 for a 31-day adult pass, CAD 85.75 for a student pass, CAD 4.00 cash fare and CAD 11.50 for a day pass. Until you have a car, budget your commute at those numbers.
Who do you call about city services in Sudbury?
Greater Sudbury's 311. Both 311 and 705-671-2489 are staffed Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m.; after hours you can still call 311 for urgent municipal problems.
Does Sudbury still run a community immigration programme?
Yes. Greater Sudbury continues to run both RCIP and FCIP through 2026 and has published its 2026 priority sectors and occupations. If settling long-term in a smaller city is the goal, those two are worth your attention ahead of RNIP, which has already closed.
Which parts of lakebbs should I open first after arriving in Sudbury?
Start with the Sudbury jobs and immigration, what's-new and housing boards: /sudbury/work, /sudbury/freshNews and /sudbury/realEstate. The first two tell you what work and services look like here; the third shows you the rhythm of the rental market.
What should I check before signing a lease in Sudbury?
Whether the Ontario standard lease is being used, whether heat or hydro is included, how parking is charged, and whether the deposit is only last month's rent. Under Ontario rules a rent deposit cannot exceed one month's rent and cannot be applied to damage.
