Alberta is the best along with Ontario bc it doesn’t have any separatism.

Alberta is home for me. The cost of living here is very affordable and taxes are lower than other provinces.

You were doing so well until you got to Quebec. Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Quebec and I can barely speak enough French to get a hotel room and a meal, but in major cities like Montreal and Quebec City plenty of people in the service industry speak better English than most of us do. The one problem is.....TAXES. Unless you are looking for socialist utopia where daycare is cheap you are likely to find them kinda oppressive. I grew up in Northner Ontario, worked in BC, Quebec, NB, Ontario and Alberta and have visited the rest of the provinces and NWT. Yukon and Nunavut still to go on my bucket list..... Personally, I love the people of Newfoundland the best, the scenery of BC the best and the taxes of Alberta the most. I could be happy living anywhere here now that I am retired but I have settled in New Brunswick for the cost of living. Plane tickets are cheap if I feel the need for a change of scenery.

I have been to every province and territory in Canada country, are trying to paint a untruthful picture of Canada (yes I am Canadian). Halifax is hole that needs to be filled in, people are very unfriendly, high cost for everything. Vancouver is full of drug addicts and whores, terrible traffic, terribly high cost of living, rains a lot a. Vancouver is like California in the US, people go to make money and then get the hell out. Ottawa is nicer than Toronto, just a lot of over paid federal employees. Alberta should be number one. Quebec is a long ways from number one that is for sure, often Quebecers are the rudest people in North America, I know that for sure....... .

Quebec alberta over nova scotia LOL

Interesting and objectively reasonable list. Surprised to see the Maritime provinces listed so low and Alberta rated so high. I grew up in Alberta and my heart is there, but the conservative politics is killing the province - as is Covid. The education and healthcare systems are suffering the most. I live in Vancouver - other than the astronomical cost of living here, we have a horrible amount of urban poverty and gang violence. Downtown has been overrun by the homeless the mentally I’ll and junkies. Like anywhere - it’s great if you have the money.

Alberta is easily the best. If the rest of Canada doesn't appreciate Alberta, then the Albertans can feel free to join up with their friends in the U.S. We love you guys! Trudeau can go play on the freeway with Biddy Biden.

Now remove all the Alberta money from Quebec and see what happens...

I visited western Alberta & B.C. 40 years ago as a teen, Banff, Lake Louise, and all thru the Canadian Rockies are the most beautiful places on the planet ... I wish to go back someday!

You made a mistake.. Quebec is it's own country.. so Alberta is #1 ;)

Alberta is the worst province, it's Canada's texas

I'm from Alberta :D

I am from Alberta ?

I’m in Alberta

Life is excellent in Toronto and southern Ontario so I'm not going anywhere. If I were forced to move, I'd pick Ottawa or Kingston (both also in Ontario, of course). Out of province, my first choice would be Halifax for sure (all of Nova Scotia is pretty special) and probably St. John or Charlottetown next. On the west coast, Victoria just edges out Vancouver in my books. A little surprised that Quebec is first in your ranking but I do love visiting there. Alberta is gorgeous but culturally it's vibe is more American than Canadian. Anyone else find that?

Alberta should have been last

Learn French in order to live in Quebec. Sorry, it's not worth it. I'll stay in Alberta, which pays for Quebec. ;~)

A VERY SUBJECTIVE VIDEO....there are bit regional differences within the Big Provinces (BC., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec)....so that all your comparisons are at best muddled.

I live in Alberta and I visit BC all the time and am a former resident of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and only I think Alberta should be like 4-6~, BC and Nova Scotia are definitely better tbh

Alberta will always be #1 but hey I was born and raised there ? But I prefer my life in the US now.

Having a military spouse we have moved many times across Canada. I was born in the province of Québec and have live in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. I agree with Québec rating, British Columbia should be higher Vancouver Island is amazing and Alberta should be lower. Yes! Prices of house are cheaper , health care is good except during the pandemic but too reliant on oil prices. Their also not much sense of community in Alberta.

I would put Alberta 1 and Quebec 2

Alberta? With the health care from hell..and a higher percentage of seniors dying of medical neglect and abuse than all of North America..goodbye.

I think Ontario or Alberta should be number one because I don’t want to learn French \nEdit but opinions are opinions

I am a British Columbian who briefly lived in Quebec, when the army posted me there for basic, I have to say Quebec is horrible, outside of Montreal, if you do not speak French. I also spent 5 years in Alberta & I would rank Alberta as number ☝️ of all of Canada’s provinces. \n\nThat all being said, I am sick of this country’s politics. I deeply regret serving this country due to how badly our current PM has treated us veterans, only PM to ever sue veterans & make massive cuts to veterans support funding. Furthermore, he is most corrupt in our history, & easily the least democratic or respectful to our laws and/or constitution… yet he has been re-elected TWICE!… because… reasons ??‍♂️ I do not know how dumb you have to be to vote liberal given Trudeau’s horrible track record on a laundry list of issues. I am personally done with this country, you stab veterans in the back & reward those who did the backstabbing… yeah, I’m out, bye. No one should be bothered with serving Canada, not worth it!!!

Cant sit here and tell me Alberta is better than BC

I love Alberta ! It's the most beautiful place , dinosaur park is great , and you can find catus there

I know every Canadian province and their capitals. Oh, and the territories as well. My favorite province by the way, like I said before is Alberta.\nEdit: I even memorized O Canada, but only the English version and not French.

Let me guess Manitoba is the worst and Quebec is the best \nEdit: oh my gosh I cannot believe I was actually correct I was about to change my answer for the best province to Alberta or British Columbia.

Can you tell me about Alberta

Thank you for your valuable information. I love Canada and lived there for three years while I attended college in Alberta. I pretty much want to go back there and see the new Canada of the present time. Blessings!

my CRS score is 265, am i eligible for alberta PNP??

As a caucasian I found it impossible to find a rental in Calgary Alberta.

I will be leaving Canada within a year or so after declaring non-residency and bring my business with me. My view is that Canada is a good place to live a normal life. Healthcare covers your peace of mind, even if the waitlist is long and bureaucratic. Social benefit is not as generous as people suggest sometimes (at least in Canada unless you're on actual welfare where you can't work but you can't rise your way up easily and you're forever stuck in 1.5k CAD/month... which would be ofc much better than other struggling countries but immigrants often aspire for greater things than that. \n\nEven though I was an Asian immigrant, I never faced significant racism afaik (I could be socially naive however), but there are definitely limitations of opportunities. It's not too difficult to find entry to intermediate jobs, at least for me but that's probably because I did schooling here in Canada. And I was able to network aggressively and learned to be an extrovert, so that also helped. But still, Canadian living cost is high (and I'm saying this from Calgary... imagine what it's like in Vancouver/Toronto). Is it doable? Ofc. 50-70k CAD/year is quite doable ESPECIALLY in Calgary, Alberta. But it'd be difficult to achieve financial independence and true wealth. This is true everywhere ofc but more so in Canada compared to, say, USA where living cost is lower and wage is higher with more opportunities. It's a great place to live normally. If you wanna become exceptional (wealth, customized goods and services, etc), it become harder and costs more. \n\nEven now when I now own business after struggling to get here over 10 years that generates income that I need to achieve financial freedom, tax becomes frightfully bad. Alberta (that imposes lowest tax rate compared to other Canadian provinces (not including territories for obvious reason) is comparable to California in USA that is among the highest in all US states. And let's be real; Alberta is nowhere close of being California. Imagine the taxes in BC/Ontario shiver. \n\nOnce my tax rate becomes high enough to justify moving, I will pull the trigger. Still window-shopping where I wanna go and I have some lists but it's gonna happen especially as Canada will have to deal with their struggling economy, further distancing from US and their government mismanagement that continues to cost the society. I will not have any part in it. I may come back once in a while for visit or potentially retire depending on what the future looks like but right now, I just don't see my longterm future here.

I do agree most of the things , if u arrive in Calgary , Alberta , you may find basement in very good area under 1000 cad $

Love to US from alberta????????

i've never experienced racisim, people are pretty nice in alberta.

Happened in Edmonton. Not surprised at all. This happens in Alberta all the time.

It all depends what condition you are living in Pakistan. I like this Ashir but he has strong grudges against pakistan and has strong biased opinion. I came to canada in 2009 with family. I can tell you that those days were a little different less racism and pretty much no islamophobia now there is even if you admit it or not. If your daughter or wife does cover her head they can be in trouble out alone. Economy in atleast alberta and other provinces too is on decline. If you want to make good money medical fields are good like pharmacy nursing related rest is bad. My wife was a doctor in Pakistan cleared all her papers but didnt get any residency as of yet.

Come to Alberta if you're new to Canada for better Jobs and faster Growth

When you apply through a PNP (Alberta) option, does that mean, once you get a PR, you need to go stay in Alberta and cannot stay at any other province in Canada?

Hello, Worthy Crew. Ontario, right now, is not inviting people who are not already in the state. My CRS is 423 and my NOC is 2175. I am 38 years old and have about 8.5 years experience. Do you think I may get an invitation from another state like Alberta or even Manitoba? I have lodged my expression of interest with Manitoba. And will Ontario restart the process any time soon? Or do you think I would be better preparing for TEF? Thanks.

Not shocked its Alberta.

Um... (1) Living in Alberta, I pay overall less tax than someone in my tax bracket living in California. We don't all have high taxes. (2) Montréal is allo-lingual, and probably 80% able to speak English in its core. Quebec City is primarily French. (4) We have publically funded, not free, healthcare, and regulated pharmacare, private eye and dental care (5) you typically tip anyone who provides you a personal service - you should include valets, housekeeping, consierge services, porters and anyone who provides exceptional service. Get out of Vancouver, Canada is big.

Alberta is racist and so is Jason Kenny

was not an alberta woman was a british columbia woman visiting alberta kelly pocha

I'm trying to figure which province is the most racist. Quebec or Alberta ?

Toronto Victoria. Is not the cowboys and Indians played in Alberta. Don't get me wrong it's a few bad seed that rot a garden. But like Rory said at the end and said it with a smile. Was I did it to fit in. Look at Alberta premiers. Making laws to stop us from protesting on our land. Or Alberta government when idle no more started. -30 outside and if you wore a facemask you arrested for hiding your face. But that law only come Into play if you ain't the white colour. Some people ain't lucky to know there culture but labled from birth. Elementary to couple years ago. I hate going home to visit family but yet still proud to say I'm from Alberta and Edmonton will always be home. Only knowing hate that's expressed and taught at a young age. You ain't right unless your white

Maybe I should move to Alberta when is becoming less cold

She's my fellow Filipino citizen and my dream is to live in Alberta. but when i saw how racist they were. my disappointment is immeasurable. And my dream is ruined!!
