Moving to Canada, and im not sure of the best place to move to. help?

I dunno dude, it really depends what you're lookin for.

I'm from Calgary so I'll start there.

Excellent employment opportunities, lots of money, Alberta pays the least amount of taxes in the country.. lots of cowboys, lots of oil, close to the rockies, on the great plains, really cold in the winter, and really hot and dry in the summer. It can get really expensive in Calgary... house prices are high (although they are dropping a little bit nowadays). I'm not sure where you are from in the SE... it's pretty comparable price wise to perhaps St. Petersburgh, FLA.

Vancouver

On the ocean.. very mild climate by CAnadian standards... rarely ever snows, but it rains lots in the winter time. Bigger city... couple million... Seattle is close by on the US side, and Victoria nd VAncouver Island make for great weekend getaways. The city is very well planned.. public transit makes it not a necessity to drive to work.. employment opportunities are ok (not as good as Calgary or Alberta, but they are still alright). Taxes are high in BC, income and sales taxes are a drag there (but not as high as they are in Quebec). Housing prices are expensive and so is life in general. A joke we have in Alberta is "BC = Bring Cash".

Montreal

Half English/half french/half allphone (I realize it doesn't add up).. best way to describe the city. Nicer city... definiitley different than what you'd be used to... Winters are like Alberta's except more humid so it chills you to the bone more... employment opportunity is probably the weakest in this city out of the three you mentioned. But the city itself is amazing.. lots of great nightlife, lots to see... you'll never be bored. Housing prices are generally less expensive than in Calgary or Vancouver... BUT the taxes in Quebec are absolutley outrageous (at least to Albertans they are).

I hope that helped a little bit. I was born and raised in Calgary, went to post-secondary in Vancouver, and have spent summers near Montreal where some of my family lives. Kind of strange you brought up all three lol. Best of luck

Vancouver is nice and UBC is a highly regarded university. Very chill, relaxing atmosphere in Vancouver. Best weather, but it rains a lot. If you like scenery, go there. I'd say real estate is expensive.

Montreal is a great city, except it gets FREEZING in the winter. It's fine if you don't know french. Practically everyone there knows English. McGill university is there, which is the best university in Canada. Montreal is very cultural and a fun city to party in.

Calgary.. It's an up and coming province, but it has a high cost of living although they have barely any taxes, its kind of middle of nowhere, and their winters are insanely cold. I don't know. It's a nice place to visit although Vancouver and Montreal are much more exciting cities to live in.

As well, just noting Ontario holds the bulk of the top tier Canadian universities, except only York (only good for business though) and U of Toronto are in Toronto. (Queens, U of Western Ontario, Waterloo are in mediocre sized towns).

But Canada is a great country to live in. I really can't imagine permanently moving to another country.

Calgary and Vancouver cost of living are IMMENSE. Montreal less so but still is very high, my suggestion go to Winnipeg education, is super cheap and top notch. and the cost of living is significantly less. Only problem is it is bitterly cold in the middle of winter but other than that you wont find nicer people.

Base your decision on the quality of your education and which institution will meet your needs in the long run. Check out job trends in each province. Consider Ottawa as well.

Of the 2 places where I've been, Vancouver is the most scenic, near water, but rainy. Stay away from Toronto... On the4 other hand, it's just my opinion.
