Toronto, while exciting, isn't what I'd consider picturesque, true enough. Ottawa's pretty I suppose. And you should check out Halifax. It's not exactly New York, but it's a lovely city. I think it seems to fit what you want. People like Victoria but I'd sooner be bludgeoned to death with rubber mallets than live on Van. Island. Vancouver's quite nice, actually. It's not that far from Whistler, which is pretty in a mountainous way, but it's also got some beautiful beaches and parks. I'd check out Ottawa, Halifax and Vancouver if I were you. If you're not opposed to living in Quebec (the French-prodominated province) than Montreal or Quebec would be fantastic. The cities tend to be a little more bilingual - especially Montreal because of McGill University and all the students there. But there can be a few issues. I don't know. It's what you're most comfortable with.

Depends on what your definition of "beautiful" is.
Victoria is very floral (I believe they have very strict municipal codes for keeping personal property well-groomed - many retirees live there, and I guess they have a lot more time on their hands for gardening and lawn-care). Also very clean and some very cool architecture. Touristy, especially around the inner harbour region.
Halifax has a rich history and a still has its "old world" feel. I love walking around the downtown area, and along the Halifax harbour wharf.
I find the wide-openness of the prairies to hold a special beauty that some people would perhaps find boring. But I love the prairies, and Calgary offers so much beauty in that regard. Head in any of three directions for endless farmland and huge sky. Head in that 4th direction (west), and you get the amazing drive into the Canadian Rockies, which are absolutely breathtaking.
Old Montreal, with its 400 year old buildings and narrow cobblestone streets is certainly worth seeing (I'm told that Old Quebec City, inside the walls, is also similarly beautiful, but haven't been there myself).
Ottawa holds our federal seat of government, so gets most of the money to keep itself looking its best, and it shows. The Rideau Canal is picture perfect at any time of the year, especially around Parliament.
I think any Canadian city could be classed as "beautiful" in one way or another. The only one that I've visited that I'm still trying to find the beauty of is Toronto. But I'm sure it's hiding there somewhere.

According to National Geographic Magazine the most beautiful city in North America is Victoria, BC. It is a nice city, but I think some towns along the east coast are better. Toronto has a beautiful skyline, Calgary is very neat and well organized, and Ottawa is very clean. I don't know. It's up to personal preference, I guess.

There are several beautiful cities in Canada however, the one that sticks out the most in my mind is Victoria, BC. It's clean... it's green... some beautiful architecture.... lots of park space, trees, flowers, gardens... waterfront... very clean.

Anywhere in British Columbia, Canada is beautiful. That's why it says on our license plates "Beautiful British Columbia."

Kimberly, BC.. Vancouver, BC.. Kelowna BC... anywhere in BC, and places inside the Rocky Mountains on the Alberta side too, like Banff and Jasper. that is, if you like mountain vistas, forests, waterfalls, etc.
if you like wide open skys, the prarie provinces and North... architecturally speaking, try cities in Quebec.
but my heart is owned by a little town in the interior of BC... Christina Lake!
