- Ranking EVERY Big City in Canada from WORST to BEST! We already Ranked the Top 10 Best Provinces & Territories to live in Canada for 2023, so now these are the best and worst cities to move to!
➽ Join our Discord Server!: / discord
► Ranking Every Canadian Province from WORST to BEST - • All 10 PROVINCES in CA...
► All 50 States in America RANKED Worst to Best - • All 50 STATES in AMERI...
In order to determine which Canadian cities are the best (and worst), we first separated them into different groups based on their size:
Big Cities (Metropolitan population OVER 800,000 residents)
Medium Size Cities (Metro population between 200,000-600,000)
Small Cities (Metro population UNDER 200,000)
I then analyze a few categories including their economy, cost of living, crime and safety, health, education, and quality of life. We also implemented my personal experiences and the pros and cons of each location to find the best places to live. There will be a new video for EACH city size group, so be on the lookout for them!
My biggest suggestion is to visit these cities and provinces first to decide where you want to move to and live.

Why did you stop posting on iron mango?
I would love to see best medium and small cities in Canada
I've been to Toronto and Montreal at least half a dozen times each, and I have to agree that I vastly prefer visiting Montreal over Toronto. Toronto is a great city, but Montreal has touches of Europe while being a bigger city that I think blends North America with European sensibilities so well. But, above all, Montreal has hands down some of the best food, consistently, of anywhere I've visited in the world. If you go to an Italian restaurant, it would be shocking if the pasta wasn't fresh made. Every baked good is fresh baked. There's a lot of cool nightlife and it's fun to walk around.
Yessir
Montreal is a great place to visit but Toronto is vastly better to live in. It’s the corporate capital and has a way better economy and opportunities.
@@michaelsims1160no Mtl better, just cope you illegal
@@michaelsims1160 That's precisely the work to live and live to work difference between the two cities. When I'm on my dying bed, I'd rather be able to say that I enjoyed my life as opposed to say that I'm glad I gave my life to a company.
@@michaelsims1160 nah Toronto is way to big to live in and if you can speak French Montréal is one of the nicest cities in the world I think
My major consideration of choosing a city to live when I first came to Canada is property price. Before I moved to Canada, I just looked at the housing price of each province and I really seriously considered to live in Fredericton, New Brunswick. But fortunately a lady from a new immigrant service office contacted me and recommended Gatineau, QC, where I am living now. I am really satisfied with this small city. It's just cross the river from Ottawa, I can even see the fireworks set from the parliament hill by simply walking a few minutes to the riverbank. What is amazing is that the house price is only about half that in Ottawa. There are huge Gatineau Park, beach along Ottawa river, safe and friendly neighbourhoods. Just like its slogan, Gatineau pour la vie.
Did you know French before moving? If not, did you learn it? How difficult was it? And what method(s) did you use? Thanks in advance.
@@charzanboo9940 Learning french from english is not the easiest but also not the hardest. It has a similar but not identical grammar. There is some carry-over in vocabulary, but the french word is usually the lesser used english version, for example "noir" for "black". You can learn to understand it with a headset course like Rosetta, but proper pronunciation requires practice, so at some point you would need to take class lessons if you want to be able to speak it.
I visited Ottawa once and we stayed in an AirBnB in Gatineau
@@charzanboo9940 yes, I learnt French in China before moving to Canada. I passed the test TCFQ , got niveau B2 and applied for the Quebec program. But the problem is the Quebec accent. I know a lady who comes from Paris and she told me she needs quite some efforts to get used to the quebecois accent.
@@Cheesecraft612 Gatineau is a nice place to live. Especially when you know the house price is only half that in Ottawa😄
Absolutely agree Montreal is an amazingly unique city...architecturally, culturally, amazing food, fashion, endless festivals, cool laid back anything goes attitude...a world class transit system..cheap rents..open minded " laissez faire"" attitude. Montreal is Canada's gem....
And as someone who's been to Calgary several times, I think it's a bit overrated ! Calgary's cost compares with Vancouver but given a choice I'd live in Vancouver !
Calgary’s cost is nothing like Vancouver. It’s, yes, much more expensive these days than years ago, but Vancouver’s cost has also gone up.
I lived for a year 😂
Loved how this video simplifies choosing a retirement plan across Canadian cities. Great insights, ranked perfectly!
Wow, this was a much better video than I expected ! Very interesting facts and information with great footage and great choices overall.
agree great video
As a Vancouverite the cost of living in the city is definitely the biggest knock on what is arguably one of the best cities in the world. There's a reason why it has been voted one of the best for many years. Like many big cities it has its fair share of other problems but it's a city once you spend time here you probably don't wanna leave.
Absolutely agreed.
Unfortunately the demand of owning a piece of lot keep climbing but the land is limited in Vancouver
Montreal better stay mad
Why are there so many Vancouverites moving to Calgary or Edmonton? LOL
Cost of living and the rain is depressing too. I'd rather it be bone chilling cold but sunny like Winnipeg rather than gray and rainy even if it's warmer.
Amazing video- thank you for making it
Great video! I found the rankings really interesting, especially your take on the cities I've visited. I’ve lived in a couple of these cities and it's fascinating to see where they landed on your list. I agree with some of your choices
My parents who used to RV all over told me Quebec City was the prettiest city they ever saw so hopefully see it myself soon.
It's GORGEOUS!!
When you visit, don't miss Ile d'Orléans. It's so charming with the orchards and vineyards.
@@aerixoxo_ Quebec City is pretty good as long as you don't go to to Ste-foy or anything surrounding Laval University, appart from those 2 places, it's pretty good
@@aerixoxo_You can access forests and mountains with just a 15 minute ride from Québec city. How is it a typical north American suburb?
@@Ocoro_ Ste-Foy and Laval university actually isn't that bad when you compare these burroughs to Vanier or St-Roch, these two can get way worse.
As a Torontonian… he got Montreal #1 right 👍🏽
Ummm no lol
Totally. Montreal has so much civic pride, nature features and always something interesting happening
@@mateoruddock3056yes you are just acoustic
@@alexmorin8703 what???
@@mateoruddock3056 Toronto is terrible City
Great video & hope you will make more soon
Awesome video telling it all 👏👏
The vibe of Montreal clearly had an impact on him while visiting and that makes me smile. Great video!
dude it had an impact on me when i went, the girls there are so beautiful compared to here in Nova Scotia, also the churches were amazing
@@e-1074 the catholics ran quebec for a while after all
@@PoeticMistakes The churches ran everything in post-conquest Quebec (1759) until 1960 and the death of Premier Duplessis.
Love that Halifax snuck in for a cameo appearance around the 4:30 mark haha
A lot of these descriptions are spot-on
Great video! very enjoyable to watch
I was so ready to see Vancouver first follow by Toronto and Calgary. I lived in Vancouver for a short of time it's stunning but so pricey so when I needed to do a choice I choose Montreal qnd I agree it's not as stunning but there is much to do so many festival so many things happening everyday, so many quality restaurants and the mentality is so special it's like everybody agreed to be chill
Montreal is a aUNESCO city of design , 400 years of architecture , largest urban parks in Canada , # 1 in the world for sustainability , 4in the world for biking infrastructure, Mountains are accessible , 2 million trees in the city , Vancouver has les than 70, 000
@@jeanbolduc5818 montreal does not have mountains, well not like alberta or bc
Vancouver has a couple million trees bud and Montreal does not eveneed have anything close to 400 year old buildings.
The nature in Canada is really beautiful!
It truly is!
It used to be, but going downhill just like everywhere else.

Great video - I always learn from this channel
Found your channel recently, this stuff is really awesome
Something about the commentary feels familiar but eh, probably overthinking it.
Fantastic video, wish you all the best
As a 30y canadian who visited all of them excepted Edmonton, I must admit that ranking feels perfectly right. Loved the driving/walking footages, did walk at many of these exact places actually. Loved the tone. Great work ! Hopefully we hit that 3k likes and get a sequel.
I also agree with almost everything but would push Ottawa back to 5th position.
Being from Edmonton they never show the river valley and focus on the mall mostly. The river valley trails are my favourite part of the city. The roller coaster was my second but they're tearing it down.

@@michaelsims1160 A?
Western Canadians don’t drink milk from a bag, never did.
Thank you for posting this. I would have never known Canada was this beautiful. I just moved to SW Florida but i definitely want to visit one day, now. I thought you had to go to Europe to experience beautiful cities with awesome topography.
Montreal and Quebec City truly feel like European cities!
@@aerixoxo_ So you just comment your hate toward Québec city everywhere? 😂 Every year, tens of thousands of Europeans move to Montréal and Québec city and they love it!
But sure you should move elsewhere if you don't like it, we don't need your negativity over here
Montreal feels like Europe without going to Europe same with Quebec City. They're Canada's hidden gem versions of Europe!
@@FromHeretoThereUm… more because of the language than a few *very specific* neighborhoods that you can cover in an afternoon. Living there is nothing like living in Europe. I notice you don’t mention the entire eastern half of Montreal being a depressingly bland hunk of industrial blight and uninspired architecture. Or the political mess that the entire Province of Quebec perpetually inhabits. Or the fact that the biker gang wars vs mafioso are a long-standing Montreal tradition, as is trafficking of both humans and drugs. But hey - spiral staircases *outdoors!!*
Edit: worst idea ever in a climate that is superslippery for almost half the year. Tumbles are not uncommon. And yes, they hurt. Good thing you can just reach out and grab a handful of ice pack.

If I was starting out now, I'd learn French and move to Montreal. We are from NYC, Montreal is the model of what a North American city should be. Winters are harsh, but you barely have to step outside when you get into the central city.
January is very cold plus part of february. Most often comments about the cold are utterly hysterical.
@vincent Lefebvre I've been there in the winter. The cold is a little shocking at first, but I really had a good time. Restaurants and everything else was less crowded. Once you get into the city, you don't go outside that much. Montreal and Toronto have really planned well around climate conditions. The only US city that's done a decent job is Minneapolis, with their covered skywalks, but Montreal really takes the prize. Plus, Montreal has great nature very close by. People are nice and quite helpful in Montreal, Quebec City, not so much. But to be fair, if I lived in Quebec City, I would be fed up with tourists too.
Yes montreal have the biggest underground city in the world
@@markrichards6863 Another secret of Montréal is the beautiful women you see everywhere.
@vincent Lefebvre By far, Montreal has the best looking people in North America, and some of the nicest too.
Dude, I never realized Montreal had so much unique culture. I knew being part of the French-speaking Quebec areas, you had to either learn French before moving or just hope someone nearby is fluent enough in English to help you understand French if you really wanted to and you were able to move there. My grandma, partly of Swedish ancestry, has a friend that lives in Canada, and they call each other a lot, because my grandma’s friend is so fluent in English and French. Not to mention, so many people used to visit our family’s park a lot from across the country because as for the rest of Canada, so many people coming from across the entire populated country of Canada always have some kind of special connection or even interest in what our park holds when they can afford to host it. Still, the cultural statistics of Montreal must be so amazing, that I can hardly wait to actually go there at least just one time and spend some time there to see just how nice a city Montreal must actually be.
You’d be surprised how much English is spoken in Montreal. It’s a great city, it’s unique and every time I leave Montreal. I miss it. Surprisingly I miss the French language being spoken so openly. One of the only cities in North America. Where a large part of the population are trilingual.
Montreal is the only UNESCO design city in Canada with 400 years of culture, architecture and history .. Montreal is ranked # 1 in the world in 2022 for the greenest and sustainable city , best bike city in North america , and bilingual in both Canadian official languages
People living out of Quebec think only how difficult is try to talk in french, but Mtl is absolutely bilingual
@@federicosoto3060 I am from a small town 100KM South East of Québec City and, honestly, in most major cities, and medium size place, most people speak English. Me, my husband, our two sons, brother, and sisters, everyone speaks English.
Quebec is the most billingual Province of Canada, dont worry most speak english. im from a medium city between Quebec and Montreal. All my family can hold a conversation in english.
Love your Videos.
So much more could have been said about Montreal but I am glad that you enjoyed our amazing city!
Considering I'm flying to Canada on July 6th and currently doing my research on the country I found this video very useful.
Glad it helped James! Enjoy your trip!

In my travels to Canada for work, I have always found the people of Winnipeg friendly, welcoming, hardworking, family oriented and genuine. They are the best representatives of Canada. "Go Jets Go."
An American, I can attest to getting eaten alive by mosquitoes when visiting Winnipeg.
I have lived in Winnipeg for nearly 14 years, it is true to some degree as there is a big mix of both
Winnipeg is one of the top high crime city in Canada same for Surrey ( Vancouver ) Hamilton, Brampton, Oshawa , Ste Catherines , Nanaimo, Kamloops , Kelowna
If Winnipeg could relocate its North end, it would be a hundred fold safer!
Other than Brandon, the only thing friendly about Manitoba is the license plates.
only ever been to Canada once and it was in Montreal for a couple of days so I am quite happy with the results of this video... :)
Great vid
Great video
Hey man, it looks like you mixed in some footage from Halifax at 4:31 when you were talking about Hamiltons transit system. Other than that, great video!
That's what I noticed too 😂
Very educational video Great job. Hope to see Mexico next?
great video
super cool video
I've been to Quebec, Ottawa, Hamilton, Toronto and Montreal on the list. Montreal is definitely the best of those. I still need to check out Vancouver, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Calgary. During the late spring or summer. Why? Because this guy from Boston....ditched snow in the mid 90's for Texas. Cool video for sure!
If you're American and want the benefits of Montréal, just move to beautiful Burlington VT. It's gorgeous, cheaper and just a short drive away.
Love Burlington ❤
but in english.
Except it is a tiny, boring village compared to the metropolis of Montreal..
Love Vermont, my favorite state.
I have a question for From Here to There, will you ever make any videos on Mango Tango again? I remember watching you when I was young, you were my favorite youtuber back in the day.
Proud Montrealer here! Thanks for the #1 spot! I'd love to visit most of the cities listed here, but i'll never live anywhere else than here. Its not perfect, of course, but i wouldnt trade any of it.
I've visited Montreal over a dozen times to attend the Grand Prix, and I have to agree. It is a delightful place in June, though I wouldn't want to be there in January!
Montreal is a winter wonderland ... for skiing, skating , cross country etc ... dry winter and less colder than Toronto
It's not THAT bad!... compared to Winnipeg... Okay, who am I kidding, the Winters are brutal
I lived in 3 of the 9 biggest cities in Canada.
I’ve lived in: Toronto, Hamilton, and greater Vancouver.
The best one out of all of them was Vancouver.
The best years of my life were in the lower mainland.
But isn't it the most expensive?
@Prince Blacksta IV there’s a reason why it’s the most expensive city in Canada. One of the reasons is because everyone wants to live there.
It’s a beautiful place.
With mild winters compared to the rest of Canada.
@@ZOG_EXTERMINATOR Interesting. How's the average pay in comparison to the rent/mortgage tho. Yeah it's more expensive than the others but is it affordable?
@@BLACKSTA361 no it’s far from affordable.
Same goes for Toronto, Nanaimo, Victoria, Hamilton, Kelowna, Branford, and Ottawa.
@@ZOG_EXTERMINATOR dsmn that's a shame
Hamilton is actually quite safe (for a big city), walking around downtown at midnight can feel dangerous, but from experience it is much safer than walking around vancouver, toronto and mississauga at night.
Yo can I ask you something
Not hard to improve on garbage though, been to all 3 and they all have junkies walking around, Vancouver is the worst though by far and Hamilton is the least bad, least bad meaning not good.
All 3 are also stupid expensive, talking some of the most expensive cities in the whole country expensive, avg 1 bedroom in Toronto is 2,000 dollars a month! Why would I pay 2,000 a month when other cities in the GTA are incredibly nice? If you have the money for Toronto, just move to somewhere in Halton! Expensive as hell but holy Jesus the cities in Halton D U M P all over Toronto.
Compared to Edmonton
Hamilton is vile. Glad I live nowhere near there. All that steelmaking. I'll admit that its a good real estate investment, awful place but close to Toronto
Hamilton is a small town compared to real city’s
I missed u mango u were my childhood keep up the good work
follow mango for life
I have been to all 9 cities and have lived in Ottawa, Toronto (Mississauga) and Montreal. I agree with this list.
Mississauga isn’t Toronto. You have never lived in Toronto
Great analysis, liked it a lot!
Bro I’m from Manitoba and you hit the nail on the head with the description of winnipeg
I lived in Toronto for about 4 years. It had everything but I found it too noisy and busy and the air quality was often substandard.
Montreal is one of the world's best cities for a Gen Z. If I would wish to migrate to Canada from my home country, the Philippines (Yes, I'm a Filipino.), I'd rather move to Calgary which is one of Canada's best cities.
Montreal is the best young person city i've ever been to!
Speaking of Montreal, it used to be Canada's largest city, but was surpassed by Toronto by population in 1981.
Both too cold for me
If I wish to migrate to Calgary from Metro Manila, I must have a Visa, take a Philippine Airlines flight from MNL to YVR, then I take a WestJet flight from YVR to YYC.

I live in Ottowa and I would just like to say, we are DEFINITELY a suburban area. You can go by downtown very quickley. It is very peaceful and theirs alot of greens, because of this, so I like it here.
You need to go back to school and learn how to spell.
I live in Calgary and it is improving in leaps and bounds. I reluctantly agree Montreal is amazing. It is the best city in Canada.
I think Calgary is definitely improving, but the crime is heavily rising.
One thing Montreal has over Calgary is older, historical buildings. Montreal is the best for that, next to Quebec City. Not sure what was the story on Calgary's older buildings, l think the the sandstone that they were made of didn't hold up.
Not a chance. As someone who’s family comes from Montreal and grew up in Calgary, Montreal is a dump compared. It’s not a close race at all, Calgary is significantly better
@@robertbruce1887everything in Calgary quite new and modern for the most cases!
Not!
Great video about Canada. Please do Mexico next?
In the great Montreal vs Toronto debate , I think there is a clear winner after visiting both cities a few times. Montreal just has an energy and spirit that leaves Toronto well behind. Although much smaller, you can easily make the case Quebec City is the nicest in Canada. For people in the West , the same can be said for Calgary.
Quebec City is lovely, but bloody awful winters. I much prefer Vancouver over Calgary, so much more beautiful with mountains and the sea.
I just came back from Quebec city, it was amazing.
I been to Montreal twice over the years. I love it there. I have family in Toronto and Winnipeg also and I live in the USA 🇺🇸 in New York.
Those are all great cities!
All cities in Canada are amazing❤🇨🇦
True
Thank you! I am from Montreal and I am so happy to find out that my city is on the top!

It's a great place to visit AND live!
@꧁ᴀᴇʀɪ꧂ fr i did
Out of all the cities in Canada, the people of Winnipeg (Manitoba) are the nicest down to earth people.
Can't argue with that! Although the Maritimes also have some of the kindest people I've ever met!
Rep Hamilton this is the nicest description of hamilton ive ever heard but much appreciated
I live in quebec and its super comfortable to live in despite the obvious inconveniences that every city has
I love the architecture and its relatively safe too
Been there my whole life and its pretty nice!
I would love it too but I don't speak good enough French to get bye. I've been horribly discriminated against as an English Canadian there unfortunately so I would absolutely never live there and I don't ever vacation there anymore. It's too bad because it would be an amazing province to live in.
@@Neonator08Why! I live in mtl and if you know a little of French it will be ok!
@@Neonator08 Wow that’s unfortunate, sorry about that
I didn’t know such thing was going on… especially since English is taking over Quebec recently
I hope you get to see this place one day but id understand if you don’t
Why do Americans make it seem like Canada is in a constant state of winter? Most of the country's climate isn't that different than much of the United States'!
That’s news to me lol
Lived in Calgary for almost my entire life and your description is accurate though city population is now over 1.6 million. While winters here are bitter cold, a weather effect called chinooks provide warm, sunny breaks that Montreal doesn't get. And Quebec sales tax is almost 10% compared to no provincial sales tax in Calgary as mentioned. Calgary does lack the old city charm of Montreal and our summers here might not be quite as long.
We're it not for my migraines I would consider calgary my self. Though living it Ottawa is not bad.
@@SoulOfTech I have only visited Ottawa during summer and also tulip festival but found it wonderful.
I learned alot from this. I didn’t realize Calgary was so awesome, sounds like a great place
It is lol! Very fun place to live at!❤
You had me at beaver-y nice
25 years ago my wife and I spent a year travelling across Canada (and some time in the US) deciding where to set down roots. Based on what we found back then we 100% agree with the list. We chose Ottawa (but Calgary was a close 2nd). Our kids have since moved to Toronto and Montreal, perfect places to live in your 20s. So I 100% agree with the rankings.
Fun Fact: As of 2022, Edmonton and Winnipeg both are the worst major cities between Canada and the US for total crime, with crime rates above 8k/100k (sources: RCMP, City of Edmonton, City of Winnipeg)
And that’s largely due to the fact that the long historical effects of colonization are hardest felt in Winnipeg and Edmonton, given they have far and away the largest indigenous populations of all cities in Canada
@@DrNutbag bingo!
Yeah, did you make that up? Edmonton and Winnipeg have some crime problems, but they aren't beating Baltimore anytime soon. I'm having a hard time finding these statistics on the RCMP site like you say.
@@ccccccccitrusYeah I agree. In the Canadian context, crime is high but I can name a half dozen places in the US that are worse.
@@DrNutbagExactly! I'm in Manitoba (former Winnipegger) and we have both one of largest Indigienous populations in Canada (especially in the urban areas) and among the highest if not the highest rates of childhood poverty in Canada. That has huge impacts on everything, from crime rates to school outcomes to substance abuse to generational poverty. It's not unique to Winnipeg, but is acute there simply due to size. Over 75% of the entire provincial population lives in Winnipeg and it's adjacent communities.
Not sure where they got the stat about half of the buildings and lots in Edmonton being vacant but I'm glad they got the part about our park system. Wish they had also mentioned that we are festival city. I have lived in Edmonton for all except 2 years of my life where I was in Calgary. If I had to move somewhere else in Canada I would choose Montreal as I fell in love with it many years ago. I love all parts of Canada though.
I'm actually pretty cool with people underrating Edmonton, it's part of what makes it appealing & affordable
And Calgary is rated so much higher than Edmonton because it has a lot of buildings downtown? It doesn’t have the arts and culture Edmonton has. To me that’s more a marker of a real city.
Looks like Montreal has been named the best major cycling city in North America in the annual ranking of Peopleforbikes for 2022
Property seems quite expensive, but salaries are great. Here in the UK the average property price (for a small house) is equal to 1.5 million Canadian dollars, with the average annual salary currently equal to 51,000 Canadian dollars. Although in reality many jobs pay half that.
Don't take into consideration only that taxes, internet, insurance, cars, electricity is very expensive here too.
The average of snow accumulation in Quebec City per winter is not 400 cm but 300 cm. The highest accumulation ever recorded in a winter in Quebec City is 558 cm (220.79 inches) in 2007-2008 !
Oh! I remember that winter! Less then 2 years later, we moved to Mexico. LOLLL
I also remember it. We could play on our rooftops and slide all the way back to the end of the backyard cause there was so much snow. Stupid amount of snow, but pretty fun for winter sports
Everybody will forever remember Winter 2008 when Québec was celebrating its 400th anniversary and we had the snow-o-meter on TV hoping to hit the record and pass the 400 cm mark for 400 years! Glad we did! ⚜️❄️⚜️ Epic.
holy cow that's 5 and a half meters of snow!!! Insane!
Nice you all love your provinces and cities. I still love my Peg and Manitoba too no matter how it’s rated. I suppose it might help keep our house prices down if no one wants to move here, so that’s ok. And as a side note we have so many beautiful lakes and parks so not surprising you might get a few mosquito bites. I honestly only got about 10 bites max last summer.
Great video! I lived in Ottawa for 3 years before moving to the US and I gotta say it's one of the most underrated cities. Kinda sad some Americans don't even know it's the capital city of Canada!
Definitely one of the best cities on paper and offers a lot more than most think!
I live in Montreal and I have traveled over 100 cities around the world. I love most to be a tourist in my own city. Come and visit..Bienvenue à Montréal!
i live in montreal and i can say say there alway something to do, event, there also night life, bar nightclub and restaurant close at 3 am.
such a fun city
“Great public transit” and Toronto unfortunately don’t go hand in hand… we get TTC stoppages daily now. Can’t expect to get from Bloor to Finch without a delay.
Relative to other north american cities its pretty great obviously nothing compared to europe though
toronto hast the second highest transit usage in North America after NYC for a reason. it's transit system is pretty good and has the best bus network/frequencies on the continent and one of the highest train frequencies as well most places in NA could not dream of trains coming ever 5 minutes or less.
Montrealer here. As happy as I am to see our city rank in at #1 in your list, I do have to point out that sadly, just like every other major city in Canada, rent has exploded here in the past couple of years mainly due to poor management by our local and provincial governments. So while it is cheaper than Toronto or Vancouver, sadly I don't think it qualifies as "cheap" anymore...
Yep. Calgary is the #1 at this point because it’s more affordable. But give it 3-4 years. and it’ll be unaffordable
@@ha5541 Yeah... My rent in Calgary went up $900 /month in September. 55%.
@@nayman2801 yeah the prices are stupid high now but it's still way more affordable than Vancouver or Toronto
I recognized the Metro Transit bus traveling on Spring Garden Rd, I used to ride the bus to get to Dalhousie University. At time point 4:30 Halifax, Nova Scotia was shown NOT Hamilton, ONT.
Yeah Hamilton doesn’t use LFS
Thanks for the Hamilton shoutout 🤘😎
I’m a newcomer to Canada and, from my perspective, it’s a gorgeous country with numerous opportunities and stunning nature. Nevertheless, I’m gonna move out due to insane education costs. Oh, and also, I’ve been living in Edmonton, it’s not really bad city, the winter is cold, but in comparison to Manitoba it’s not too many extremely cold days. Additionally, I really love how the city transforms in the summer, it’s such a drastic contrast compared to the winter 🥶
I moved to Edmonton when I was 5 and while the winters may be cold, it's a great city. There are so many great opportunities and places to go. Summers may get hot but they are still incredible. WEM is a great place to go shopping and hang out with friends as well. As for sports, almost everyone I know is a hardcore Oilers fan. But we also have teams like the Stingers and Riverhawks. Honestly, you need to live here to experience it best and I don't think this guy has spent much time here.
Grew up in manitoba most of life can guarantee the cold is equivalent to Siberia here can't wait to leave manitoba for calgary
Eudcation should be pretty cheap once you're a permanent resident! It's like 4k$ a syear in Quebec, including for the best unis, and you get most or all of that subsidized if you're low-income.
Education is almost free in Canada if you are Canadian.
@@Noah-ws8ho Yeah, I did some research on that topic, and it's kinda tricky to get without a specific job. Plus, it's closely tied to the education you already have, so it wouldn't really work for me.
Montreal has the greatest park life, festival scene, food scene, and a great balance between big city & old European architecture. As he said, the ppl here really do work to live. Go to Mont Royal on a Sunday and you’ll see what I mean
I caught a pretty bad stomach bug on the plane trip to Montreal [I think] and I still had a pretty great time
6:31 I was shocked to hear him say Toronto has one of the mildest winters in Canada then remembered that might be right lol. only place i can think that has truly mild winters is the fraser valley and vancouver island (both in bc). toronto isn’t really a mild winter but compared to places like montreal and winnipeg, i suppose it’s more desirable
Toronto is more south than many major American cities, so yeah it’s pretty south and the winters are very comparatively mild
We don’t get the snow we used to get in the 70s, 80’s, and 90’s. Global warming has benefited us for now anyway
Montreal is the most exciting and one of the cheapest real estate in Canada, a winning duo, and what other city is on an island with a mountain in the middle of it.
Vancouver, lol.
Currently Montreal housing is increasing due to a very important influx of Ontarians moving here.
