Which Canadian city should I visit?
I live in Atlanta and have been to Canada several times to visit my dad's hometown, Hamilton, ON. I've never visited any other Canadian cities, though, and my girlfriend has been saying recently that she would really like to see Canada. I don't have much interest in Quebec at all, and was thinking Toronto, Vancouver, or Edmonton. I want to take her to a place that will impress her visually and will have some cool things to do. Any ideas or suggestions of other cities? Since I don't know a whole lot about Canada and things to do, all I have in mind so far are the CN Tower and Tim Hortons haha.

Wow, a Canadian visiting as a tourist. (You have your birthright to be a Canadian citizen since your father was born in Canada.)
Vancouver is beautiful with lots of activities in and around the city. To get the most out of it, you need to rent a car, though.
Toronto is a big city, but sooo different from anything you can think of in USA. It has a great transportation system between streetcars and the subway. If you chose to stay downtown you can take in 90 % of all interesting activities by using public transit. There is ABSOLUTELY NO need to spend money on a rental car or parking. Beside, the traffic is awful.
For things to do while you are here, look up the Toronto Now magazine. It is updated almost daily so keep coming back.
Just check www.expedia.com or your favourite airline site to check which tickets are least costly.
P.S.
You can apply for a citizenship certificate if you were born outside Canada to a Canadian parent and you meet certain requirements. It is free to get a Canadian SIN card allowing you to live and work in Canada.

Definatly go the west. The mountains are very beautiful! You should definatly visit Vancouver. It's a beautiful city there is so much to do! There are so many nice places to just walk around like Stanley park,Chinatown etc. Go up to the Vancouver lookout for amazing views of the city,mountains and waterfront. Also visit the Metrotown mall in Burnaby. Also make sure you visit Victoria and go to the butchart gardens and also take the trip up to the town of Whistler. If you have time I would suggest renting a car and driving to both Edmonton and Calgary as well. West Edmonton mall has alot to do it has an indoor amuesement park,water park and over 800 stores. The city of Edmonton has lots of good shopping not just at the mall but around the city. If you visit Calgary make sure to go to the Calgary tower for views of the city,surrounding plains as well as the mountains in the distance. Also be sure to visit the Calgary zoo.

Big, may I ask why you have no interest in Quebec, would it be because you have heard negatives about having to speak French. If that is the case your misguided, your missing out on a beautiful city of Montreal. Montreal is bilingual, all the restaurants most of the servers speak English, you would have no problem. even the department stores and supermarkets will look after you.
If you hire a car, you take a trip to Saint Sauveur, and other ski fields, if your coming in winter, but these places even in spring and specially summer are fantastic.
From Montreal you have a ten hour drive to Nova Scotia, and another hour or so to PEI. I am not saying there is nothing in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton or those places, they have loads to offer also. But never put a city down on hear say.
You maybe from Atlanta Georgia, but the amount of people going to Montreal from all parts of the world, forget about Quebec City, that's another attraction altogether.

My favourite city to visit is actually Quebec City. It is the closest you can come to a European experience, and still be in North America.
A trip I would highly recommend, at least for scenery is landing in Vancouver, driving to Calgary, up to Edmonton, and then back to Vancouver. You pass through rain forest, desserts, high mountains, and flat prairie. I would suggest taking about 2 weeks. BC is FULL of mountains! The road between Jasper and Banff is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Mountains, glaciers, lots of animal sightings, and more.
Vancouver has a huge Asian population, and all sorts of exotic shops, and so on. Shopping there is amazing, and it is a beautiful city. As you go inland, you come to the Okanagan, a true desert, much like what you would see on a Western movie. Calgary is a young, vibrant city, full of energy. Edmonton is also fairly new, but, much more staid. Some don't find it all that exciting, but, there are interesting things to see and do. In between these big cities are smaller ones (Cranbrook, Kamloops, Revelstoke, and so on). Each area offers things to see.
I have done that trip several times (I grew up along it), and, loved it ever time.

I think you should go to Toronto. It's a really cool place to visit. I've been there a few times and we always find something new to do or see. The CN Tower is really cool! There is also the science centre and the Eaton centre (a big mall). There are also a ton of cool restaurants hidden throughout the city.

With its intensive parks and fairly equable climate maintaining temperatures moderate throughout the year, Vancouver is a heaven and now, you have the chance to discover it with hotelbye . Vancouver is boasts a active social life. One of many areas worth visited in Vancouver is Granville Island. After primarily commercial, Granville Island is now a thriving heart of task with a relaxed and distinct atmosphere. Artists and stores have transferred into modified warehouses along side houseboats, theatres, galleries, and restaurants. The Granville Island Public Market is certainly one of the most popular attractions offering good fresh fruit and veggies, seafood, and a great number of different specialties along with ready-to-eat items. Perhaps not truly an area, the arts centre is associated with residential places by one path and footbridges to the south, and to the Downtown peninsula (across Fake Creek) by ferry.

Visually, Vancouver or Victoria. If you have time Calgary/Banff for the mountains.
Have you considered Prince Edward Island on the east coast? Visually stunning and very peaceful.

Go to the west, if you live in Atlanta im guessing you haven't seen beautiful big mountains.
