Whats the best place in canada to live?

Question

Come the fall, september or october, i am going to be moving somewheres. Currently i am living in alberta and soon quebec, before moving to Nova scotia for a stint. After all of this i want a place i can move to and stay in for a few years. A place where i can get a good job, no oil or call center crap, and have lots to do. I love city life, and want to live in a city but i dont know which one! What city in Canada is the best place to move to in your opinion and why? Right now i am thinking Saskatoon, but what else is out there?!

Answer 1

Go with your decision. Saskatoon - beautiful and NOT over priced. How do I know, i went to school there.

Answer 2

I actually would consider the opposite, why do you want to move to Quebec?

I live in Montreal it is a great city, good nightlife (for canadian standards), for foreign standards it's boring! there are things to do, so cultural life is good!

I know nothing about Nova Scotia for me isn't even on the map

In Montreal you can get a good job and stay for few years (if you like the french and speak the language) houses are not that expensive here

I don't think Saskatoon has a lot of life, but I haven't been there so it is probably very lively, I don't know!!

My favorite city so far in Canada is Toronto but I haven't been to many, Toronto has everything and I don't think it's hard to get a job there, also people are really cool there...

Answer 3

this is such a difficult question to answer on so little info about you and your skills. if you think saskatoon is a big city than i don't know what you would think of toronto, montreal or vancouver. i'm a city girl who currently lives in toronto (grew up here) but have lived in the past in montreal and vancouver. i personally think saskatoon is a town and not a city.

toronto is the largest city in canada and has always had great opportunities for employment here. toronto has everything. it is the fastest pace city in canada and many canadians who are not originally from toronto will say it is the least friendly city in canada and only live here to work. i would disagree with that. toronto is a toned down version of new york city. we have great restaurants, theatre, night life, shopping and it is the most multicultural. basically, if you can't find it here, you will not find it anywhere in canada.

montreal is probably the most european city. it has the most incredible culture. montrealers are outgoing, friendly and warm. the city is the liveliest in canada. i would say toronto has great shopping but montreal's is better. it is a city filled with easy going people who care more about the quality of life and enjoying it. the difficulty is that you really need to be bilingual to get a good job in montreal.

vancouver is still the prettiest city in all of canada. if you can get past the rain, it is a nice pace city that has everything a big city should have without the hectic pace. if you love nature, this is the big city for you. vancouver is the healthiest city of the three. vancouver has been booming with the improvement of their economy and with the olympics coming in 2010. there are some great job opportunities out there.

where the torontonians are about after drinks like martinis and eclectic food....montrealers are the wine or espresso in a cafe with a cigerette in hand....vancouverites love starbucks and fresh produce. each city has something unique to itself and therefore hard to say which is the best. these would be my top three. it really depends on what you would prefer and which city has the best opportunities for you.

Answer 4

First element of clarification Canada is the 2d greatest united states in the international. 2d just to Russia. There are 2 substantial mountain stages. One on the west the place the iciness olympics would be held in 2012 (Vancouver) and have been held in 1988 (Calgary). The 800 Kms between those 2 cities is a non-provide up ski motel (a minimum of it type of feels that way). As you progression East you circulate 1500 KMs of prairie (the biggest grass land in the international). you at the instant are halfway around the rustic and have not seen something yet. the subsequent 1000 Km is the biggest exchange you will bypass by using between the worlds greatest forests until eventually you come back to the inhabitants centre of the rustic. Southern Ontario has 40% of the rustic's inhabitants and this is greatest city is the international's maximum cosmopolitan city. 50% of the folk residing in Toronto convey their unique language as something different than English. Toronto is the 2d greatest Italian city after Rome. the subsequent Province is Quebec it is many times French conversing and the area of the different mountain selection. Montreal the biggest city in Quebc is the 2d greatest French conversing city in the international next to Paris. The reamaining 4 provinces are referred to as the maritimes and are basically on the Atlantic Ocean. the folk in those 4 provinces are between the friendliest people in the international. what's the terrific place to stay in Canada. everywhere is the respond.. yet i'm biased. I stay in rural Southern Ontario. I even have 15 golfing classes interior a fifteen minute force of my residing house . i'm 10 minutes from international classification fishing. i'm a 2 hour prepare holiday from Downtown Toronto and international classification eating and appealing. I actually have a small ski hill 20 minutes from residing house. What greater ought to i want

Answer 5

I was born and raised in Montreal, went to university in Fredericton and worked in Toronto, Edmonton, Windsor, Kitchener, Ottawa, St. Catharines, Hamilton and Vancouver.
The city I enjoyed the most was Kitchener. It has all the amenities that you could ask for and a close knit community and it's only an hour out of Toronto.

Next to that, I would say St. Catharines, Ontario is the place you want to be. It's in the heart of Canada's wine country and 10 minutes from Niagara Falls.

Answer 6

Ok, my two-cents worth:

I can't stand TO. Ugly as sin and hot (and humid) as Hades. Godawful.

Vancouver? Grew up there. Rains ALOT. The most expensive city in Canada. I don't know what it is you do for a living but it had better be high-paying. Also, BC tends to perpetually have a fairly high unemployment rate.

I too am thinking about Montreal. Live in Cowtown at the moment, and have recently become physically disabled (and I may well be this way for life). It doesn't matter where I live as I can't work anyway. I keep looking at Montreal, as I said (but this may not be ideal for you). All in all, the answer to your question "Whats the best place in canada to live?" is:

IT DEPENDS.

Answer 7

How about Barrie, Ontario, its the fastest growing city in Canada. Its right on Lake Simcoe, lots to do, no smog, not alot of traffic, and new jobs popping up all the time. Its only 45 mins north of Toronto. Close to Wasage beach, Collingwood ski hills and cottage country.

Answer 8

Sasktoon and Regina are currently good choices. They both have a shady past, but Saskatchewan is enjoying an economic resurgence, due partially to oil and to Alberta residents cutting out of the rat race.

I have considered relocating there from Calgary
