I've lived in Canada and in the US. You guys forgot that the US has a very diverse climate to Canada. Almost the whole Canada snows whereas US has desert, forest, tropical, etc climates.

I moved to Canada 3 years ago and I can tell you life here is much better financially than London, England where I moved from. Building wealth isn’t hard in Canada unless you live in a city like Toronto. I sold my 1 bed Condo in Toronto for $700k and bought a massive 4 bed, 3 bathroom detached house for 500k in Edmonton. Yes it’s colder here but the wages are much higher and the tax is much much lower. Cost of living in general is much cheaper… Gas as of today is 1.11 per litre at my local Costco!\n\nMy advice to anyone living in Toronto is, move out as soon as you can and also avoid Vancouver because it’s no different!

Oh the tap water thing, agree 100%. I moved to Canada a decade ago, started to learn about the tap water, then assumed the US got the same if not better, then I travelled to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, omg, the water is yellow, went back to Canada and felt eternally grateful.\nPublic transportation in Canada is much better, for example, buses accommodate people with wheelchairs very well and drivers are very patient and actually got off their seats to help people to get on, get off. I went to New York, omg, subways stink with urine, buses don’t even have any place for people in wheelchairs, impossible to get in, maybe some of them have but I didn’t see them. All buses in Canada have ram for wheelchairs, strollers, etc.

canada, a privilage country that is surrounded by good countries, protected from the west, south with a border, north by greenlands and east with an ocean.\nif it weren't for US your country would be trash...you welcome.

You feel safer in Canada where they’re freezing bank accounts, confiscating guns from law abiding citizens so you can’t protect yourself? Where euthanasia is the leading cause of death because the health care system has failed?

I heard Asians are everywhere in Canada.

Look at Canada and how much they spend on their budget for the world compared to what the United States gives. How much does Canada spend on military compared? We should just take you weaponless bitches over, get rid of Trudeau,who said he liked china’s type of dictatorship. Canada should be 51, let’s get it done. Bahahaha

As a Canadian, living in Ontario but has lived in Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. I feel like you have a very Quebec experience with things like rent and cost of living. \nThe rest of Canada is very......Not Quebec and certainly not Montreal.\nSpot on about our expectations of good quality food though.

I know damn well yall ain't talking about expensive COL when Vancouver is likely more expensive than New York. Also the US has many other cities to choose from while Canada has like 5. \nAnd the food here is likely far better, yall ain't got no Cajun or creole food up there.

What Canada does better and this is coming from an American, POUTINE POUTINE POUTINE??

Bruh canada sucks.

Yeah I’m good. Canadas prime minister just kidnapped people’s bank accounts for speaking out against injustices. I’ll keep my merica. It’s not perfect but at least I don’t gotta worry about a heavy handed dictator

The problem with Canada is your woke leader, that's the major difference which I really can't talk about this year so I'll wait until 2024 and hope we get a better leader than Brandon!

As a New Yorker who frequents MTL. women in Montreal are way hotter on average. \nNew York women are constantly looking to finesse a situation and operate from a struggle mindset.\n\nIn Canada you'll have solid 10s working barely above minimum wage, you'll feel like you're tripping over baddies.\nTake one of their average looking girls, dump her in NYC and she'll be worshiped as a queen.\nCanadian women are also much easier/nicer to talk to and a lot less materialistic.\n\nAlso, (alleged fat shaming segment ahead) black women can't tell me shit about them being naturally fatter because Canadian black girls aren't big like that. Of all my cousin's friends, maybe 2 are out of shape and neither would be considered that big by American standards. It definitely shifts city-to-city, region-to-region. People in Western New Yorker are fatter than people in NYC

WHY is it safer in Canada though? Hint: It's not guns. Hmmm population? Hmmm no illegal immigration?

You guys hit every topic perfectly. I am from the islands, and I live in the US, Texas yall ?I agree with everything especially the food part. I try to support local businesses and I was able to find some awesome 'whole in the wall' spots that I frequent. Even traditional island food. Don't get me started on the tap water. I live in a small city and the tap water is bleh. My one goal is to visit Canada on day. I have friends who have family that live there and I always hear good things.

I'm from Cleveland, Ohio. The weirdest but greatest thing I've ever seen in Canada was 10 years ago visiting Toronto. Two cars are involved in a minor fender bender. This Asian dude with khakis and a dress shirt pops out of the front car. Then this black dude with a durag and a basketball jersey pops out the rear car. Then they start yelling at each other in French lmao. My mind was blown. I'm like now this is diversity ?

I wanna go to Canada 1 day

See, cities being less compact is something that I prefer. I hate super compact cities. Also, you can’t compare cost of living in LA to cities in Canada. The cost of living in California or NY is considered outrageous for most of the US. I’ve been to Canada and remember thinking it was way more expensive than where I’m from. You can say nobody wants to live in the other places, but I personally don’t mind. I have no interest in being in the “hubs.” Oh, and tap water varies here too. I’ve been all around the US and St. Louis area tap water is amazing whereas some places I’ve been it’s terrible. Really just depends.

I agree about tap water in Canada being better than the United States unless we talking New York.

The assisted suicide as the only “healthcare” solution for people needing something trivial like a wheelchair ramp, icicles forming on my beard type of weather for too long every year and lack of rights is more than enough for me to know that Canada ain’t it. Also Canadians aren’t nice; they’re just more passive aggressive.

He moved to Canada because he couldn't handle the women in Miami. Beytaaaaaa

The best thing about Canada ?? is that it touches America

Is Safety worth the reduced freedoms? (Hypothetically) “The worst parts of Canada and the best parts of America”

Bro humko bhi canada jana h.kuch btao

Canada is being destroyed because of 3rd world illegal mass migration....stick that into your little box of goodies.

Canada is a massive welfare state, 50%+ of your income will go back to the government to support the bloated public sector that gets huge salaries and pensions, the hundreds of different social programs etc. If you want to work or start a business Canada sucks, if you want to live off other taxpayers then Canada is great.

Is Canada known for seal clubbing?

very good very nice saudi arab s kasa a sakta ha canada.

University of British Columbia, University of Toronto, McGill, University of Alberta, University of Waterloo and McMaster are the only top notch universities in Canada. Anything apart from them is either below average or fake.

Socialism ? Canada is so trashy

Very nice name.gulnaaz apki.batain mjhe bht psnd hain.m.ana.chahti hoon canada mjhe ap.kafi achaa sa guide kr rh hain

These people give confidence to parents that if we will study in canada everything will be bright..never say lie to yourself or to them.India is the best place to get every kind of exposure.and to be successful sky is limit here..

Buddy I’m African too CANADA ?? is very cold in the winter but it has a lot of opportunities

Hey thank you for all the information. I’m an interior designer looking for work in Canada any special advice

Nova Scotia has many plusses, but it also has gigantic minuses too. Apartment rental prices in Halifax are as high as those in Toronto and rents in smaller towns are also very high- especially in relation to salaries. Nova Scotia has the highest provincial taxes in Canada but with very little to show for it. Around 100,000 Nova Scotians do not have a doctor at the moment and the list is growing not decreasing. Public schools are overcrowded and have very high class sizes- Nova Scotia teachers are the lowest paid in the country. If NS has the best schools in the country, then Canada is in big trouble. Yes, the province did have less violent crime than Ontario or Quebec (property crime has always been around the national average), but that is changing with the increase of 'new comers' in our cities. Fights/Assaults have always been a part of life here, but stabbings used to be non-existent. Now they are common place in our province. Just keepin' in real. It is still a pretty place, but perhaps it is better to visit than to live here.

The real question is: Why do you need to send your kid to Canada ? When you are willing to spend between $30000 - $40000 (24 lakh to 32 lakh) you could send your child to the best school/University in India. \nThe answer is: Greed. Don't wrap and hide your greed under poverty and helplessness and dreams. You dream of permanent residency, big houses, cars and White girls. That's the whole truth.

If you dont like Canada leave the country.

There is too many people comes to Canada and get everything for free and taxpayers pay for it and their is a few countries that system applies to .

I moved to Calgary last year and now since Trudeau is letting literally anyone into Canada, they're all coming to Calgary and since I came here last year rent has went up 1.75x\nI barely ever see anyone FROM Canada here.\nI want out so bad and I'm looking for my next step.

I believe, As is the ruler, so will be his people, From what I have seen, I like Canada's ruler very much, Justin Trudeau is a good person ?

Mera b visa reject hoa Canada ka

Assalomo alikom mera ik swal hai me Europe me ho kya me Pakistani passport pr yaha say Canada apply krskta ho without family, kya yaha say ja skta ho..

I've never seen a combination of a 1st World country and a 3rd World country combined, even nowadays like this in my whole life. I wonder what they're actually doing to solve any of these problems there in Canada, if anything at all.

All the great doctor has left Canada for a warm and freedom country !!

I went to Canada in 2004, one of the first homeless people I ever saw was in Toronto.

What are you talking about? Isolated from languages? Vancouver has more Asian languages than anywhere else in Canada!!!

Me I'm planning to return to my country. Canada is becoming babylon. I prefer my country if not of money and jobs. Canada is not the best. They show all those touristic sites and fun, but come here first, you'll not have time to go anywhere. Work pay bills and taxes, that's all. Ugh. To make things worst, the PM is a scum and dictator. So what's the difference between my country and Canada?

Just more than a year living here in Canada realizations:\n\n1. So cold. Not everytime you can be so productive because the weather is a big hindrance\n2. As an immigrant, you will start from scratch. There will be great opportunities, sometimes really fast promotions or salary increase but workplaces are always short staffed that the amount of work is not worth it with how much the salary is. \n3. Some people still have preferences and you will really feel discriminated.\n4. People are polite, I am very impressed but so individualistic, it's sad. Growing in a country with a very collective type of community, you will really fee the void once you try living in Canada. you can't fully relate to everyone, be free to talk to them about everything because you rarely have common ground or understanding. I feel bad for the Canadians, its so hard to build relationships here in this country. Some of them might never experienced living that everyone of their schoolmates understand and laughs at the same meme because all of them have the same backgrounds and can relate.\n5. Housing prices are so high, it is so surprising for a country with big land mass but with very few population. Like how can be the house this expensive when winter is long, houses are wood and not stone and groceries, mall and other recreational areas are far?\n\nOverall, it's like a big scam going here in Canada. The biggest thing positive here is how powerful the currency is and the country being part of G7 and neighbor of US. Also it has very well preserved environment, scenic views. Aside those, others you can live without.
