You didnt accidentally google the one in Surrey by mistake did you?
few parts of the GTA can really be described as gorgous, and the few that are are generally only 2 minutes from some more urban concrete monstrosity or power line forest.

Re: Best place in Canada to move to?
I just want a new life, I need to go somewhere where there are opportunities for my skills. I like the outdoor life, not interested in big cities and clubbing/shopping etc.
There's nothing to do or see here, Canada is beautiful and Calgary I know is near the Rockies so I thought about there. I just don't know what places are good in welcoming new comers.
Not thinking about family so really just a young couple hoping to start a new life together and have a stable career and go out in the fresh air and enjoy life.

are you serious!? if you travel outside your town you will find numerous things to see and do in the UK and you have the whole of Europe on your doorstep!

Seriously, the UK is expensive, has crap weather and some social issues, but I cant imagine being bored of it. Canada on the other hand lacks some for culture and history, and the place is so spread out that what there is generally involves covering a lot of miles to get to it.
Vacation allowance is low by european standards and internal air fares are so expensive that its prohibitive to exploring the place too.
Wide open spaces, less overcrowding, less stress, Canada offers all that and more outside the major urban areas, but excitement is someway down the list.
Consider the working holiday visa and come for a year or so and check out a few areas before moving full time would be my unsolicited advice. Vancouver offers the mountains and water you seek, as does Kamloups, but its expensive there and good jobs hard to land.

To my jaded eye most of the GTA looks the same, and the bits that are nice are prohibitively expensive for the most part. For me the higher wages dont justify spending your life in traffic and living shoulder to shoulder in a $500k 48' wide house on a 50' lot.

Looks can be deceiving. Crime is rampant here. I'm glad you don't have children. There were eight murders in one day here recently.

Vancouver I heard is very high with gun crime at the moment and couldn't possibly afford the rental prices over there to start with so not even looking at it really

And there's the drugs. Apart from a few BE members I've met, I usually socialize in rarified and exclusive company and even then most of the people are smoking drugs a lot. Think of the tv programme Shameless and multiply it by ten.
