Ontario, close to Toronto as that was the best place for OH to work.

Thanks to everyone that has replied so far!

Can't believe how many people have relocated to BC, thought the favourite was Alberta but what do I know!!

Even if it's been done before, I think it's an interesting poll, especially if people say why they moved.

I'm guessing most people who moved to Alberta and Ontario were motivated by finding a job, whereas people moving to BC and NS may have been more motivated by finding a different life. Or maybe I'm completely wrong.

Do not forget, you can choose your friends but not your relatives.

Absolutely and it is even better when your relatives are your friends too.

Well, surprised at how many have moved to BC. Reading this forum I totally got the impression AB/Ont/ NS are the most popular places. Esp. NS.

Huh. Interesting.

I moved to near the Brass rail in TO as its a great strip club! I would have moved near the sun downer in Niagara which is even better but there was no work there!

I think the cost of housing in BC, especially the lower mainland and the interior, tends to be a reason why people look at Alberta and eastern Canada.

New Brunswick - job offered here, cheap housing, Canadian family spread about the Province. Would have considered NS and PEI also but just happened to be NB. It chose me in a way, it was a 50/50 decision.
