Travel Info I wanna move to canada, but where in canada should i go?? Travel Tips Canada is a huge country. The closer you are to the U.S. border, the warmer the weather. Some cities get to 30 below zero. Vancouver is expensive, beautiful, rains allot in winter, little snow. There is work but housing is costly. Alberta has tons and tons of work. Can get cold, but you dress for it. Ontario is a big province. Southern Ontario has a reasonable winter. Snow, can get cold but usually around the freezing mark. Lots of work here as well but again, expensive and crowded. Quebec is a great place to live but you really need to speak french to fully appreciate the province. Any of the Maritime Provinces have lower housing costs, not quite so much work, but full of great people and have decent winters(most years) and great summers. For work, go to Alberta, edmonton or Calgary. For weather, the Okanagan area, Kelowna, Penticton, or Vancouver. For a home with land of your own, any of the Maritimes. Great country. Lots of work in the Far North as well but extremes in cold. Source(s): been there, done that Other Travel Tips Vancouver Island! or Nova Scocia! Lovely!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... Iqaluit. Vancouver Me I'm from the west and have never been east of Mantioba so I can't give you any recommendations about over there. That said, the cities of Western Canada right now are going nuts economically. Calgary in particular is in the middle of a massive oil fuelled boom making it hard to find a place to live but easy to find a job. Vancouver and Victoria at the same time are not surrounded by as much of the hype but are just about as hot, Although they're both fairly expensive to live in, you may find living there and working there somewhat easier. Edmonton would fit in that boat as well. I think all of these towns are beautiful places to live and don't really want to hack any of them. It's pretty hard to beat the magnificence of the Coast Mountains around Vancouver and the year round coastal climate. That said however, if you live in Vancouver, you have to learn to like the rain and not seeing the sun for a couple months over the winter. The same is to be said about Victoria, but it is to some degree mitigated by being on the island and not pressed right against the mountains. Calgary you don't have to deal with the rain and you have the Rockies right at your doorstep. You do however have to deal with weather that is well... somewhat erratic. I remember working on an outdoor job one winter and at the end of work Friday it was -34 degrees Celcius and the start of work Monday it was +5. Some people hate it. Others love it. I have to say Vancouver and Victoria both have an edge on Calgary when it comes to culture. The simple reason is both of those cities are more established and have a more static population. They just have built institutions and social character that Calgary just hasn't really been able to. That said, Calgary is changing, rather dramatically now and these institutions are on the rise and new efforts are being made to make neighbourhoods are more social environment (walkable communities for example). Much the same can be said for Edmonton as for Calgary, but I can't really speak for how their community is developing in this respect. With all this said about the cities, something has to be said of the rural environment and I don't really know if I'm the best to comment on that. I grew up in a small town in the BC interior which has really become a victim of the cities' boom. Housing prices have shot up in the smaller towns where urban vacationers have second homes or are retiring, but there just isn't that many jobs. There's lots of low paid service industry work of course, but real work is often quite difficult to find. Hence, like me, most of the young people move to the city and these small towns end up having a distinctly 40/50 plus atmosphere. There are of course notable exceptions, but far too many for me to mention here. It's something you'd just have to do some research on. Good luck. |
