BC has amazing natural beauty, but having been here since 2006 after moving from Ontario, I do NOT consider BC a province of Canada but rather the 51st State of the US and I am moving back east.

Didn’t make any sense to put Quebec as number one, houses’s values are showing people use their money to ranking the provinces.

New Brunswick is the ONLY bilingual province? Um. No. Id say it is Quebec

I really dont agree on my province beeing number one.. you clearly didnt have to live there when the covid crisis was on its peak..

Quebec wouldn't be my number one pick. Montreal is a nice but the winters in Quebec are cold as are a lot of the residents. The government is socialist with high taxes and the worst covid lockdowns in North America. Not a welcoming place for Anglo Canadians or American traveller's. I would probably say BC is the best province. It has the best of everything.

Every province has good and bad qualities, except Ontario. I lived in Ontario on and off for about 20 years. Not one good thing comes to mind about this province, not one. I've also lived in Quebec and Alberta, both great. Ontario is like the armpit of Canada, it just stinks, definitely because of the government overreach, extremely high tax robbery on everything you buy, very high cost of living compared to both Quebec and Alberta. Both Alberta and Quebec are wayyyyyy cheaper to live than Ontario, and to be totally fair, the people in Ontario seem to be the most narcissistic i've seen within 3 provinces i've lived in, and with the worst roads. So much car repairs every single year from just driving on the main roads, which are basically just pot holes because they line their pockets with the taxes instead of using the money to fix the roads. The people in gov make so much money, there is none left after their payday to fix the roads or build any parks or things for families. Ontario is actually a bad place to live, especially with other good options available, it's the only province i don't recommend moving to if you want a decent quality of life. You can't even find a doctor here unless you live within or drive for 2 hours to get to the city. It's extremely inconvenient and expensive for no reason other than tax grabs and high fees for every single thing you have to do in life, there's a high fee for that in Ontario.

I do believe that ontario is the best province. it would be BC if it werent for the prices

Great video, and wonderful selection. Indeed Québec is the best. I left this province 32 years ago. But still my heart belongs to la belle province.

Not bad, Ive lived and worked in most provinces and this is very accurate, fun fact whenever Im driving across the country in the winter when going through Winnipeg I only use full services gas stations. And thats coming from someone who works in the oil fields of northern Alberta, Grande Prairie to be more specific where it regularly reaches minus -40

*Which province of Canada has the biggest population of the Mixed-Race Master-Race?*

*I'm moving to which ever province hates Supreme Leader Turdo the most.*

Quebec no. 1 ?. I literally came here because I want out so bad. Garbage province, Montreal is an overpopulated hell hole with failing infrastructure and horrendous traffic. And don’t get me started with language laws and corruption..

Newfoundland is by far the worst province in Canada. Awful food and stupid people. If I never go to that awful rock again it’s too soon.

Which Province is best for International University/College students?

The fact number 1 is Quebec shows there's not much experience with the provinces here lool

You forgot our two most southern provinces Arizona and Florida...

Hello \nCan we move to other province later if we coming through AIP

Quebec...get right. I was born in that hell-hole and as an English kid growing up in the highly separatist east end of Montreal my childhood was miserable. The french are so bent on having their own little country they treated anglos like dirt. Try driving east towards New Brunswick and stopping anywhere to get food or whatever, you better parlez the francais or you'll be looked at like you a criminal. How dare you speak the hinglich au Quebec. Best province my ass. They don't even consider themselves a part of Canada. Take the once named St. Jean Baptiste holiday on June 24th, it's now la fete nationale. Sure sounds Canadian right! You got your list upside down, this video is garbage.

Saskatchewan here. The crime rate thing is really overblown. I've lived here for 47 of 49 years (2 in Calgary) and never been the victim of ANY crime in any Sask city I've lived in. Yep, it's cold in winter and hot as hell in summer, but like you said, cheap to live and we get paid well. There also isn't any such thing as an hour commute, unless you live at the lake. You also are missing about 2/3 of the province that is covered in lakes and forest if all you focus on is the areas around Regina and Saskatoon. There's a reason the campgrounds here are full of Albertans and every other province in the summer...

I am living in one of the Eastern province and by far Alberta is the best province. The people there are broad minded unlike the folks in Ontario and Quebec. Politicians are crooked…

I know the joke wouldn't work, but Canada has provinces, not states...

I was surprised but at the same time not surprised that my province is #1. Québec is definitely the best place to raise a family and it's not uncommon to have multiple kids. I live close to the Ontario border and because having kids in Ontario is more expensive they tend to have just one.

I live in Newfoundland and we barely see any snow all winter, as a proud Canadian who has lived in every province let me help you out. Newfoundland is gods country and there is truly no better place in Canada and Alberta should be ranked close to last.

Perhaps learn how to pronounce the Canadian place names as a start: Newfoundland, Kootenay … listen to other ‘actual’ Canadians pronounce them online.. Crime rate data without context is ridiculous. Nova Scotia is a peninsula In the Atlantic Ocean and does not have “pretty mild weather”. Uninformed regurgitation of internet facts. How is Quebec the “most historic” province? Sad. Sad.

You don't have to learn French to move to New Brunswick, as long as you stay in south of the province. The more north you go the more French it gets.

ONTARIO'!!!!! THE BEST PROVINCE!!!!!!\nQUEBEC????? I do not think so.

I have some profile specific queries. I am a doctorate in Microbiology and have 8 years of teaching experience. I am married and my CRS score is 463. Is there any good chance for EE or I should go with PNP directly. If yes then suggest the best province based on my occupation. My NOC is 41210- College and other Vocational instructors. \n\nThank you in advance

I live in 3 province and travel to all 10 province and let me tell ya that BC is the best province in Canada hands down. Only downfall is that you need a lot of money.

I'm from Quebec and i love every Provinces, in 2017 i did a roadtrip to BC and when you see Canada for the first time by road it's just amazing to see how big Canada is: Canola field, Bison, endless horizon, mountains, blue lakes, awesome people from coast to coast, salty water smell when your near the sea of coastal province, beautiful roads apart from Quebec just kidding but not really....My friend and i stop at a A&W in Saskatchewan on Transcanadian Hwy and next to our seat was a group of farmer just relaxing and talking about their day and we would have love to just pay them a drink or something to just listen to their story what they have to say but we were a bit to shy because of the french accent and didn't want to bother them! For me every Provinces of Canada are the best no need for TOP10.

So.... The #1 province in Canada is also the one province that threatened to leave Canada on how many occassions?? Referendum in 1980, another in 1995, and..also one in 1919...when they first wanted to separate. The Quebec gov't treats Anglos that live there like 2nd class citizens and pass out language fines if French isn't displayed 2x as large on storefront signs...English family speaking kids cannot attend public schools in English, all are taught in French. There are only 3 english speaking higher education schools out of 17 universities and over 70 colleges.\nImmigrants have 6 months to learn French in that province, after that, correspondence with the gov't is all in French.\nAhh...Plus...\nHow many political and social organizations are there in this province that actually PROMOTE the separation and outright superiority of Quebec over the rest of Canada? \n\nFrench supremacist much??\n\n?\nRiiiiiiighttttt....

Throughout the decades, Quebecers have voted in legions of woefully ignorant politicians who understand virtually nothing of the day to lives of the people they purport to represent and politicians that have never wavered in their misguided attempts to create disharmony amongst citizens in the name of protecting the French language which should have been an integral part of the education system from the beginning. Most people get along very well with one another and; politics aside and as one who has travelled extensively throughout Canada, I concur with Quebec being the number one best province to live in. On the other hand, if you are part of the native population throughout Canada which has been treated criminally and shamelessly by all that came later and will still be seeking completion of restitution for culture, freedom, land and life that was taken from you and your forebears a century from now, I totally appreciate that you may be offended by this entire exercise.

Anyone in Quebec would likely agree that they are the best province. However I have yet to meet anyone from outside of Quebec who would agree. Quebec seems to get the most government handouts and assistance including by means of taxing other provinces to pay for Quebec's needs. BC is going down hill as the real estate industry divides the rich and poor to a breaking point. Sask suffers from this issue too as entry level jobs are brutal, underpaid and cost of living rises insanely. Canada is screwed in a lot of ways...

I've had an address in every province except PEI, when i was growing up. Didn't pay much attention to the stats presented here. But loved living in BC first ( Kamloops), NB second (Newcastle), NFLD third (Stephenville), the rest not so much.

Alberta #2.... LOL! Kidding right? \nThat would equate to Wyoming being the 2nd best place to live in the U.S. while having seasonal climate like Alaska without the mountains.\nAlberta's all good if you love 2 months of 'summer' known as 'Rodeo Season' followed by 10 months of sub arctic WINTER known as 'Hockey Season', wear only plaid shirts and jean jackets, accessorize your all denim wardrobe with a leather belt sporting a chrome buckle the size of a hubcap, your choice of footwear consists of hard and uncomfortable high heel boots with ridiculous pointed toes, wouldn't dare leave your home unless fully costumed like a casting extra in a B movie Spaghetti Western complete with a hat the size of bucket, while having dietary needs that are easily satisfied from both of the 2 known food groups of Beef or Wheat, and your 2 favourite 'cultural interests' are 'Country' & 'Western'. (Good luck trying to find a radio station that plays anything but)\n\nThe views are spectacular if you're keen on flat vast expanses of endless nothingness uninterupted by anything of interest other than petroleum industry related facilities, if that's your thing.\n\nBonus..... with the second largest indoor mall in North America... complete with waves and a beach so you never have to leave the province to go on vacation. Your kids can feign battle on a full size mock pirate ship or midget submarine, while Mom sip's pina colodas under a plastic palm tree beachside and watching shirtless cowboys wade ankle deep in the 'surf' while still wearing their 'Wrangler' branded jeans. Family content, Dad can strut down the mall concourse to find 'Whiskey Row' and select his favourite 'Saloon' to wile away the hours guzzlin' suds and swillin' whiskey to his hearts content, or until Mom's run off to get cowpoked and the kids are floatin' face down in an olympic sized wave pool with an artificial tropical south seas backdrop.\n\nNo worries about the future when Alberta's only industry of petroleum implodes. Alberta's plan B is to regain it's lost position of wheat exports now that the world has lost it's appetite for Russian toast. Your kids can look forward to lifetime employment of waiting for harvest while hanging out on a split rail fence sucking a wheat straw perpetualy held between their teeth until it's time to fire up the old John Deere tractor and drive straight lines for 40 days and 40 nights.\nSounds like Alberta's just short of heaven in the #2 ranked postion of best Provinces to live in Canada.

I would never live in Quebec as it has the highest provincial income tax rate. The starting rate on the first 45K of income is 15%, that's triple Ontario and BC. Ontario is number one for me. If you live in smaller city, the cost of housing is bearable. It's starting provincial tax rate is just over 5%, much like BC. Alberta is only tax friendly if you are earning at least $100 grand but for lower incomes, their starting tax rate is double that of Ontario and BC at 10%. I have seen a few cost comparison websites by province and NONE that I have seen mentions provincial income tax differences, a major omission.

Hi, my age is 34 and planning for this aip programm with my family. I hv done masters in HR and my total work experience till yet is of customer service associate. Is my profile comes under NOC of any province. Can I apply under aip programme?

Ever since oil got crushed every province sucks. Our leader is a blackface enthusiast statutory rapist who stutters constantly and calls people f/aggot in Parliament so oil climbing back up is not fixing our economy. Justin Castro made sure to disconnect the two factors and replaced oil with fairy farts and condescension. \n\nThere is no where to go. Everything is getting worse and more expensive. Canada is a shit hole.

This is definitely the best video on the entire process. A couple of questions:\na) Is the PNP program now embedded in the express entry pool, or would I have to go and apply to each and every province's individual website?\nb)I am a data scientist in India. Can you direct me to a video that helps me in identifying provinces that can help me get a PR through PNP

Yea being from BC I can definitely confirm that the housing prices r the worst part of our province. I'm literally shopping around for a house right now and there's absolutely no shortage of shacks in the middle of butt fuk nowhere going for a solid half a mill...not even exaggerating...?

As a proud Manitoban I couldn’t agree more with the placement of our province on this list.

I have friends that live in Ontario. A great place if you are Type A and super outgoing. A great self promoter brimming with confidence. Otherwise you may be happier in the Maritimes or Western Provinces. Ontario is not terribly happy with those people who do not measure up to the Ontario brand of success. It can be a miserable place for new Canadians who may eventually realize that they can happily live in other parts of Canada.

I have family who live in BC. It is very very expensive to live in this province. Beautiful but expensive. If you are not wealthy expect to exist not live in BC. Moving to Atlantic Canada can equal the difference between existing and truly living. Halifax has warmer summers cooler winters than Vancouver. A super fun hot, dare I say sexy waterfront. I'd take Halifax with its five universities and rapidly growing downtown. Saying BC is most beautiful means that you have not seen Western Newfoundland. Like the best of Norway.

You have forgotten the beautiful Yukon summers. Every province & territory in Canada is heaven to my friends attending CBU from India. Many wish to stay and we love them so much. The folks from India & Pakistan fit right in.

I like your content, and the explanation of each! Although I'm biased myself that even three decades ago? My personal choice for No 1 Province, would have, had to be Alberta, the Wild Rose ?? & the Canadian, Provincial, Gem that even Queen Victoria, Her self Favored over all the Others. Thank You for my Opportunity too comment.

Love your videos bro...\n\nJust one silly ques...when to apply for AIP...\nLike if i go on a study visa in one of the 4 provinces... So after completing the 2 year course i should apply.....\nOr if i apply as skilled worker and show indian work experience then can i apply now?

Hey, thankyou for the great content. I am not able to search jobs for the provinces except New Brunswick. For New Brunswick, I can see an option as Looking for a job but other provinces , I don't see any option to look for the available jobs. Can you please guide on this ?

Great that the province I chose to reside in after leaving the States is #1.....MY QUEBEC!

thank you for updates of canadas provinces. quebec is what i am trying to apply job with my son.

Thanks for such good explanation, however, I have a query, I am in Canada on a visitors permit and have applied for OSWP. But according to the video I need to have a job offer from these Atlantic provinces, but how will any employer give us a job without a valid work permit. So should we wait until we get the work permit and then apply for the PR? Or my spouse is on closed work permit in Ontario so should he have a job offer in Atlantic provinces? Before applying for the PR?
