Answer 1

Unless you absolutely loath snow and cold or humid heat (much balanced out by our extraordinary springs and beautiful autumns) CELEBRATE your good luck.

We have no desert close by but we have loads of natural lakes plus our two wide rivers and consequently no water shortages.. Our mountains are not as high
but what is lacked there is more than made up by the brilliant oranges and crimsons and yellows of the Laurentians and Appalachians in September and October. We even have nearby the notable agricultural region of the Chateauguay-Richelieu where the farms are small and loved, unlike the factory farms of the Imperial and Central Valleys, and the produce tastes it. Believe it or not there are more artisan cheesemakers in Québec than there are in CA and instead of there being efforts to outlaw foie gras we actually encourage its local production. We even have a few wineries; although the quality centainly does not match yours if you drink our white wines when young with our lobster (Québec and Maritimes Canada, not Maine or elsewhere in the northeastern states, produces 80% of the annual harvest, by the way) it is a delicious match (lobsters happen to be on sale at the markets this week at about $US 7/lb and we ate ours last night!).

Montréal is like the San Francisco of Canada but even more liberal (with a larger by percentage gay population by the way, but one which never feels need to flaunt it as like the Casto). If you miss Blue-state America from time to time Vermont is only an hour away. And Like San Fran we have a very good public transit system; one does not require a car. There are no real slums in Montréal to speak of.

It relies upon the place you're shifting from and what area of California you're shifting to. in case you're shifting to the l. a. area: Housing costs in and around l. a. are incredibly severe. Public transportation is terrible and having a motor vehicle is a ought to. in the San Fernando Valley, temperatures generally attain 110F for a minimum of each and every week or so each and every 300 and sixty 5 days. that's cooler on the west area, and costal aspects. the main well liked months are August and September, that's additionally formally hearth season. Winters are consumer-friendly yet it may drop into the severe 30's on some wintry climate nights. It snows in the community mountains and from time to time in the severe desolate tract. Santa Anas are a each and every year climate phenomena of very good, heat dry winds which could action picture star in September and proceed on and stale via January. they'll chap your lips, make your epidermis itch, and make you afraid to the touch something metallic that's no longer gounded. Rain many times is supplied in April yet we from time to time get rain everywhere between November and would. summer season storms are very uncommon. San Francisco bay area: Housing costs are not a lot greater low priced than l. a., however the city has quite solid public transportation. It nevertheless enables to have a motor vehicle nonetheless. the climate in San Francisco is a lot cooler and wetter than in l. a., yet San Francisco has so a lot greater version in that's microclimates. One area of the city would be chilly and foggy and the different area would be heat and sunny. California is a large state and there are various little cities and suburbs with virtually any climate which you are able to imagine. the only element i will quite say, no be counted the place you reside in California, is save your flashlight and slippers close on your mattress and a furnish of water in case of an earthquake. Oh yeah, and don't flow TO NORTH HOLLYWOOD!

If you do not already have status in Canada as a citizen or permanent resident, and have not already applied for a work or study visa, then that is your first step.
