Living in Canada, possible?

F-A-C-E-P-A-L-M

You can't just "move" to Canada. You need to emigrate there.

You better do a bit more research on Canada if you think it's a land lost in time. You seem to think we're stuck in a time warp. $50 grand isn't much money to live on, especially if you want a house and a car.

You need to find out if you even qualify to move here first. What skills do you have? Unless you have an education, a skill in demand and proof of a job offer, you might as well look elsewhere.

Americans are free to visit Canada for up to 180 days each year without a visa. Visitors may not attend school, work, or look for work in Canada... nor can they obtain driver's licenses, health insurance, get a social insurance number, open a bank account, etc.

$50,000 would be more than enough to rent a place for a six month vacation. It won't allow you to stay.

If you want to stay in Canada permanently you need to either: marry a Canadian willing to sponsor you; have a highly skilled job offer and compete for one of 10,000 positions each year; have a net worth of $1.6M and invest $800k in Canada; complete certain university degrees and find employment shortly after graduating; or be nominated by one of the provinces (doctor willing to work in a remote community, willing to buy/run a farm in some provinces, world-class performing artist, etc.) You need to pass background, medical, and financial checks. Processing times for most categories are three or more years.

Living costs in Canada are about 30% higher than in the United States. Living in remote areas of Canada would typically be even more expensive. $50,000 won't go far. Most people need about $2,500+ a month to survive in Canada. That wouldn't last more than two years. Finding work in a remote community is often extremely difficult -- and of course you can't work in Canada unless you (somehow) qualify for permanent residency or a work permit. Few Canadians, let alone permanent residents, have much of a choice of where to live. You live where your job offer, spouse, etc. is... or you likely won't qualify to immigrate to Canada.

they may not want you if unskilled ..
