Where to settle
Hi,
I am wondering if anyone has any advice regarding what is the best place
to go to in Canada in order to settle. Where is the job market best and
apartment rental and food prices reasonable? Is there any such place?
I would appreciate any advice.
Thanks.

Re: Where to settle
The best thing to do is go and look for yourself, visit different places and
find where you feel most comfertable and would like to live. Canada is huge
and all it's cities and towns etc are different and you may like one or hate
another, you might prefer to be by the sea in a smaller place like the
maratimes or in a larger place like vancouver, or the cosmopolitan
atmospheres of montreal or maybe the hub of toronto or the growth in calgary
or the big skys of the pararies or maybe you like living under snow in the
yukon.
Everyone will have their own opnion and reason for liking where they are and
jsut cos they do doesnt mean you will, find where you like if you are going
to make such a big move and live there.

Sounds good but it's not as easy as all that unless you have unlimited
funds. If you need to find work or want to start a business some places are
more suitable for some areas of expertise than others. Even if you like the
snow of the Yukon there aren't many jobs out there and the same goes for
many of the Maritime provinces.
Canada is huge and there's a lot of empty space between many of its cities
and towns, which would make it rather difficult to visit all of them. It's
probably easier to do some research online and narrow down your choices.
Visiting a place won't necessarily tell you more about work and business
opportunities than research unless you spend a lot of time there.

Re: Where to settle
Hello Adriana,
As somebody who pondered over the same question a few years ago, here is
what I did. I came up with a list of things that my wife and I wanted from a
city and sort it in order of importance.
1) Good Technical community (I am a Software Engineeer). Even though I
telecommuted to the US for a year and 6 months after I landed, I wanted to
be able to find a job if I lost mine in California).
2) Multi-cultural city (We need to buy Indian Groceries
)
3) NO SNOW! (We are from India and suffer from very poor circulation in our
extremities. toes and fingertips, for all you perverts
) Basically
weather which allowed people like _us_, access to outdoor activities all
year.
4) Decent/Good public transport (We didn't have a car then)
5) Access to good universities (my wife wanted to go to school).
6) Environmentally conscious city (i.e ones which offered Recycling
programs. My wife and I are environmentalists)
7) Affordable living/housing.
Schooling may be important to people with kids, and medical services to ones
arriving with seniors etc etc.
This is not what I am suggesting for you, but this is what we wanted in a
town. So, we got on the internet and surfed away... http://www.Google.com is
an excellent resource, and almost all canadian cities have websites
(http://www.city.vancouver.bc.ca, http://www.city.toronto.on.ca/ etc etc).
Obviously, your list will be drastically different, you may find that
Yellowknife is where you wanna be.
). Also, read newspaper web sites of
the areas that you want to settle in. They provide excellent information
about apartment rentals, cars, crime etc etc.
The basics are work, food and shelter. The first will give you the second.
Depending on your area of specialization, decide where that profession is
strongest (for instance, paper production, software engineering, mining),
and research them.
We don't know what is important to you, and YOU have to do the groundwork.
We can't do it for you.
Cheers!

Yeah, we came to the lower mainland. WE used to live in Richmond, and then
moved to Vancouver (close to UBC).
