Best Places to Live in Canada

[mkettner]

I currently live on the West Coast of Canada, but there are a variety of other great spots. I wanted to get the world perspective from everyone in this forum and what their opinion is.

In order to help people out with the different regions I have provided a brief description below.

West Coast - Beautiful with it's mountains, ocean, rivers and lakes. There are a variety of activities available to any outdoors men as well as a hoping city life.

Central Canada - Cost of living is a lot less and there is a high demand for employees and labourers. The winters a pretty harsh, but still is a great place to live in Canada.

Canadian Shield - This is the most populated area of Canada (which really doesn't have a lot of people compared to other areas). A lot of businesses have their headquarters here in the largest populated area of Toronto.

Maritimes - Beautiful landscape and stunning ocean communities. The provinces that make up this region are typically really poor, but each of the government's are making a push to bring in new business.

Again, I look forward to everyone’s response.

Currently Canada is in a pretty big labour crunch and there are plenty of job opportunities across the nation. I am sure it wouldn't be hard to find work in the field you are looking at.

Hi Dinesh,

I would suggest looking into what Canada legally requires to be a resident of Canada. Yo may want to visit the following site for answers to your questions.

CIC Canada | Publication: You asked about...immigration and citizenship

I think where is best in Canada depends on each person's indiviudal preferences.

This thread reminds me of a song on a South Park episode about French Canada, where a French Canadian sings that "French Canada is the best Canada of them all." Did anyone see that? Is is very funny.

I lived in Nova Scotia for almost 2 years , it is poor in the money sense of things but rich in community living . The people in general are amongst the friendliest i have found in Canada , in the area of New glasgow where I lived , within days it seemed , the local populace new who i was , my name and what i was doing . Housing was cheap by comparison to Ontario and the cost of liveing lower , but they are like 1 big family that look after thier own , few are without work of some kind but it is usually given to 'Scotians ' i was well liked , but an 'outsider 'the whole time i was there .

I read your brief description and it was just as beautiful as my friends here have described. I am trying to gather all information as it will benefit me in my decision making and future plans. I appreciate any thoughts and helpful information you may have. Take care.
