I am a IT professional from Australia, I am going to migrate to Canada at December,
who can suggest I should pick Vancouver or Toronto to live?

Thanks

If you like long, cold winters and very hot summers than pick Toronto, if you prefer
more mild climate with no snow or feezing temperatures in the winter and moderate
summers than Vancouver is the place...

Torronto is a commercial area; good for job opportunities; Vancouver will make you
case faster;

There will be no difference in processing time between Vancouver and Toronto selected
as destination in Canada.

Last year, Vancouver had plenty of IT jobs, this year there are not so many. A lot of
start-up companies have failed or at least aren't recruiting and Nortel closed an
office recently. There are jobs around but don't come to Vancouver expecting to walk
straight into a one unless you happen to have exactly the right experience.

Previously the Ottawa area was a good place to look, but a lot of jobs there have
dried up too.

Don't know too much about Toronto I'm afraid.

As to the better city, I think Vancouver but then I live here. I'm not sure that I
could stand the cold in Toronto. It all depends on what you like to do outside work

I know nothing about IT but from the quality of life perspective, I'd summerize it
like this:

Toronto: cosmopolitan, bustling, multicultural, a major theatre centre and one of the
continent's cultural focal points. Still, has the feel of a huge, spread out village
in terms of architecture. Real estate prices high, weather sucks (except right now:
September and October are gorgeous)

Vancouver: a mecca for outdoors activities, multicultural, great seafood,
breathtaking scenery, more provincial than Toronto (this is a matter of degree: they
are both more provincial than London or New York), real estate prices sky-high,
weather sucks somewhat less - though it's a lot wetter.

But you omitted what I consider Canada's best city by far (no bias since I actually
live in T.O.): Montreal. Very sophisticated, very livable, tres chic, great
streetscapes, great food, lovely arts and culture and above all the only city in
Canada that *feels* like a real big international city. One problem: the weather
sucks even more than in Toronto. I don't know how old you are - if I were 10 years
younger, I'd learn French and move to Montreal in a trice

btw, for the best weather go to Victoria - but coming from Australia, Canadian
weather *anywhere* will suffer by comparison
