Toronto is like any other northern major US city, except very very multi-cultural... more multi-cultural then New York in my opinion.
It is surrounded by large suburbs, streetcars downtown, mid-sized urban subway of 4 routes, 3 major universities, major league sports teams, 6 major highways (including the 20 lane HWY 401-one of the widest and busiest highways in the world) - the Gardiner Expressway going through downtown, 3 airports including a 3 terminal international airport, skyscrappers... and yes movie theatres... lol
The Greater Toronto Area (including its Regional Municipalities) is the 6th largest metropolitan area in North America. That means if Toronto was in the US, It would be the 6th largest city in the US.
It is also the 46th largest agglomeration in the world.
Toronto is also known as Hollywood North and annually hosts the Toronto International Film Festival. So after Hollywood and New York... Toronto is the next top dog in North America for the filming Industry... so YES, Movie releases (and pre-release screenings dates) are usually the same day as US release dates.

Yeah, it's a modern city. There are movie theaters and stuff. Also things like electricity, cars, even hot and cold running water.
Even in the states, different states get the movies at different times. If it's a big, studio movie and it's been out for a little while, it will be out in Toronto.

frequently, you will must be provided a job in Toronto first and have that employer sponsor your visa, earlier you could flow there. you would be wanting an perfect visa and could ought to do a lot extra workplace work on suitable of all of that. That being dealt with... you would be residing interior the biggest city in Canada, between the biggest in North u.s., and the main multi-cultural city interior the international. English is the backside language, yet you will pay attention many distinctive languages spoken in Toronto. Toronto isn't that distinctive from super American cities, whether that is Canada, so of course there's an absence interior the yankee patriotism. assume to pay attention a super type of evaluations you're no longer used to listening to, even anti-American ones each each now and then. Toronto has a super type of concert events, theatre, and different cultural events. while you're bringing infants, they are going to probably have a extra perfect education in Toronto. you do no longer ought to fret once you get unwell. you merely bypass to the wide-unfold practitioner and practice your wellbeing card. maximum visits to the wide-unfold practitioner are unfastened. Toronto might nicely be violent, yet Canadians do no longer very own weapons except they're hunters. weapons do get into the city from the U.S., and each each now and then there are murders and different violent acts, yet frequently, in case you are not getting mixed up with the incorrect human beings, Toronto is an extraordinarily risk-free place. a lot of friendly human beings. in case you get homesick, you may nicely be interior the U.S. in approximately 2 hours by motor vehicle. merely get on the line and force to Niagara Falls. i won't be able to see something you would be "lacking out" on by residing in Toronto, different than perhaps acquaintances and family individuals which you are going to be added faraway from.

Lol, the U.S. is not the centre of the universe. Toronto is a world class city. Many movies will debut in Toronto before they are shown in the U.S., just like how certain movies will debut in NY or LA before the rest of the U.S.
Toronto is pretty much like any world class city. Except I've found Torontonians to be more polite and willing to help than say New Yorkers.

Toronto is a melting pot where people of all different backgrounds and cultures actually seem to coexist and get along better than in the US.
There is a heavy US influence in terms of radio, tv and movies even with "Canadian Content" laws that require so much programming be of Canadian origin.

Well this is an easy one. Toronto is a city and the states ( I'm assuming) is a country.

Another difference is that Canadians are educated about events and countries around the world, rather than just our own country.

It's the same, except there's this really tall tower in it.
Movies come out at the same time, fireworks are three days earlier and Thanksgiving is six weeks earlier.
