    Hi Adam. I was offered a job at UBC and I'll be moving to Vancouver soon. The process of moving there from abroad makes me kind of anxious, but your videos have been really helpful for me. Thank you so much for the effort you put on them, and keep up the good work!

      Hello Elena! Congrats on your new job! If you don't mind me asking how did you get the job and what country are you moving out of? I've been trying to legally get a job in Canada but it's difficult without a work permit to begin with.
      Any insights will be helpful.

    Good video.
    For people in the comments: immigrating to Canada requires you to have prior post-secondary education. It’s simply a must. But once you are here and apply for jobs, your education will not be recognized by employers (unless you come from the Commonwealth countries.) This includes highly sough-after jobs such as Doctors, Nursing, healthcare, engineering, or finance. So definitely expect to go back to school once you are a landed immigrant.

    Yes, Vancouver doesn't snow that much, but it rains ALL THE TIME. Winter storms from October to next year's April, and very likely you will not see any sunny days in that half of a year. The humidity is insanely high so that even though the temperature is above zero, you are still freaking cold. I stayed in Vancouver for two years and found I am depressed due to the lack of sunshine. So I moved to Ontario three years ago, and it's like heaven compared with BC. At least I can see the sun in the winter, and by wearing the same winter coat I actually feel warmer here in Ontario's winter.

  • @Broody4Boglim
    @Broody4Boglim 3 года назад +3

    Pretty good Adam I'd just mention a few of those things are...I don't want to say inaccurate but way more diverse. For instance French. Yes Quebec is the only French province BUT New Brunswick is the only Bilingual province and basically half and half. This is good for things like federal of provincial services because by law they must provide service in both languages but not so basically everywhere else. The problem with this is you can have an almost completely English town almost nobody speaks French and drive 15 minutes and be in a town where nobody speaks English. Research on this might be hard because a town with a French name may not have any French people in and vise versa. Also this problem is multiplied in the fact that if you Do want a French area we don't speak standard French or Quebecois but instead Le Chiac which is a difficult and confusing mix of old French and english (almost exactly like the Cajun dialect). Second part of this is that Montreal is easy to live in if you don't speak French and is so multicultural you are just apt to hear Swahili as French in public. Last part is be very careful where you move on the prairies as they have may isolated towns some that speak French also. Next is tipping I've never had to tip anyone for a haircut outside of the military and all other forms of tipping here on the east coast are purely optional and wait staff don't get upset if you don't leave a tip unless you were a jerk or left them extra work like making a big mess (I worked as cook for a while after I got out of the army and I rarely ever head staff complain) HOWEVER....tip a waitress well and she might accidentally give you 2 pieces of pie lol and tip a taxi driver well and he will not only get you the cheapest fare he will find ANYTHING you may need no questions asked. Lastly on the nice thing....we are nice for sure especially compared to our southern neighbours BUT there is a lot of passive aggressive nice that happens and this also varies greatly. For instance as a city boy of course you answered the way you did but a guy who have lived all over this country in big and small, French and English places who now has retired to a rural town I can say I find the cities quite snobby and the French and the English can be quite snobby to each other and where I live now if you asked a random stranger for 5$ chances are you would get it also driving down the road people you don't know will just wave at you as if you were the closest friends. Canada is certainly a weird place so many extremes and my advice to anyone wanting to move here is do your research and then visit and travel a bit if possible because even us Canadians can be surprised by thing or two across this gigantic country

    Montreal is Canada's second largest city after Toronto and both cities are actually very similar. You do need French to survive but you can get away without it especially in downtown Montreal because most people are perfectly bilingual. Our metro (subway) is the third busiest subway in North America after Toronto and New York. The city itself is very vibrant and ethnically diverse. Unlike Vancouver or even Toronto, there are always activities to attend especially in the summer. Most of our music festivals tend to be free except for Osheaga which is the Canadian Coachella!

Most people leave 100km from the US border so it never goes much below -15C. Avoiding Montréal because you don't speak French??? You definitely can make a life in Montréal without speaking French but it's very recommended to do so at some point because a lot of jobs requires to be bilingual.

    This is almost exactly like Sweden, but with a few key differences.
    - Healthcare (including dental care) is free for everyone below the age of 18, after that it's really cheap compared to the U.S.
    - You're not expected to tip anyone, at any occasion.
    - Taxes are way higher, (30% mentioned in the video is roughly the amount the lowest income takers pay, rather than the highest, I know someone who pays a little above 60% in tax each month)
    - Although you come a long way with just English, the language is necessary for living long term.
    Anyhow, very informative video! I'm possibly looking to move from Sweden to Canada for university (despite that being free here), so thank you!

    Coming from Germany we are used to high taxes. If I’d earn 100k CAD here I would get only 55k...but health insurance is already covered.
    Be aware when you start working in Canada but you’re not considered a permanent resident in that tax year. You have to pay a higher tax rate since you’re not a permanent resident. So if they hire you as a permanent resident (what they usually do cause they don’t know) you need to pay extra after submitting your tax return ;-)

  • @kirstenroche8160

    (Canadian healthcare worker, here)
    As far as paying for medications: it's definitely true that you will often pay *something* for your medications, but they are significantly cheaper out of pocket than they are in the US, because the Canadian government puts limits on what pharmaceutical companies are allowed to charge.
    And medications that have existed for a long time, as well as generic versions of medications (acetaminophen instead of brand-name Tylenol, which are chemically identical) are much cheaper too.
    If I need antibiotics, even if I don't have a job that gives me health benefits, I may pay $5-30 out of pocket.
    But if I want the brand-new brand-name antidepressant that just came on the market last year, I might pay $200 a month for it.
    Usually a doctor can prescribe you a cheaper medication that works just as well though (just make sure the doctor knows if you don't have a job or don't have health benefits through your workplace...often they will ask you that before prescribing any expensive medications, but not always).

      I wouldn't worry too much about tipping. It's an infrequent thing unless you eat out a lot or whatever. Some places have it included as gratuity, some don't, but in general you don't HAVE to tip. I do, a little, but less than recommended unless they go above and beyond expectation. It's a personal thing, that with time, you'll get to know and will judge for yourself when and where and how much to tip.

    4. Doesn't really matter to me so much
    5. I guess I would have to get used to that. You rarely tip where I've lived.
    6. I don't drink.
    7. no comment, doesn't affect anything
    8. I have lived in New Zealand, Australia, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates, think I'll be good

    I lived in Canada for 5 years from 1988-1993 in Hamilton, Ontario. Some of my first memories were going to George R. Allen school and the Jewish synagogue next door which ran a kindergarten.
    Also, regarding your comments on healthcare in Canada, in the UK we have to pay for medicines (sometimes) if not claiming welfare, so its comparable.
