Thanks everyone for their suggestions and advice! You have helped me blow it more into perspective. There is a lot to take in and a lot to think about. I must say though, if Australia wasn't so far away it would probably be an easy decision to make I think.

Does anyone know where the hottest City is in Canada they can recommend so i can check out?

Thanks again for all your comments! You all are very kind and considerate!

Thank you all for your advice and opinions. There is so much to think about but I totally agree with Jason saying that Australia is extremely far away from what seems like everything - Europe and USA etc! Especially seeing I have family in both.

Would anyone happen to know what the hottest city is in Canada? I think from what I have herd Vancouver is a lot colder to its neighbour (if you can call it it's neighbour!) Toronto.

Once again guys, thank you all for your comments! You are all very kind and considerate! Maybe we can meet for a drink sometime! 😜

Vancouver - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Toronto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Use these to compare the weather. Summer time Toronto is warmer, winter time, vancouver is warmer!

Not only is Toronto warmer in the summer, it's also stupidly humid.

Vancouver in the winter is not unlike London in the winter in terms of ambient temperature and the amount of rain that falls (yes, I've been in both places in late December). It has been known to snow in Vancouver during the winter and it either melts within a day or two (which is good, as Vancouverites are notoriously bad at driving in the snow) or if a cold front moves in over the region, the snow will stick... main roads are cleared fairly quickly, but side streets may remain sanded but unploughed. If the conditions are right, one can enjoy a round of golf in the morning (even if the snow has fallen) and still be able to get off the links and up to the North Shore mountains for some night skiing.

Vancouver is nice in the summer... it's miserable until about late-May/early June, when the weather smartens up and REALLY GOOD weather starts mid/late July and extends all the way to the September Bank Holiday weekend (Labour Day is on the first Monday of September) and (if you're lucky) to the mid/later part of September (I remember wearing shorts to school during the first few weeks of the Fall term, which starts on the Tuesday after Labour Day).

Good luck with your decision and welcome to Canada (and Vancouver), if we end up being your final destination!

While it's true Vancouver gets a lot of rain, the weather is pretty nice here...the winter isn't particularly cold and the summer is quite warm; but being from Brisbane originally I'm used to unbearably hot summers.

Like others have said it depends what you like...but don't kid yourself into thinking one is so much further away...a move to another country is a huge move and either Canada or Australia will be a plane trip away from home

Surf's better in aus, slopes are better here.
