Dear All ...

While comparing western countries, it seems life style is almost the same in every aspect of life; I used to think that way but how wrong I was until I came to Canada myself. I lived in UK for 6 years and now Permanent Resident of Canada.

Surely my vote is for Canada. As United Nation also mentioned as one of the best places to live on Earth! What I have seen is mentioned follows:

Tax:
Overall Canada seems to be on higher side, as you have to pay GST and PST in all products and services, whereas in UK its always inclusive in sales price.

Job Tax is also higher, but you are paid a minimum of $8 on every job. Its not much difficult to get a job of $15 per hour.

Cost of living is 1/3 in terms of food and accommodation. You can easily afford one - two bedroom condos, where as in UK it’s hard to find one. Studio flats are more than 600-700 pounds approximately 1,200 Canadian dollars

People lived in London or any part of UK can easily accommodate them in Toronto. I feel very easy, as before I came to Toronto, I was comparing Toronto as London, like crowded, people don’t have time, less job opportunities etc. Though, It was contrary. London is far very crowded and congested, whereas Toronto has quite rugged and scenic spaces.

Education
As said, some of the top business, computing, design and medical universities / colleges. Such as Seneca, York, UfT, McGuill, Ryerson.

Job Guidance
You will find far more job search agencies and places, where you can use free internet, print outs and various workshop on job search. I hope none of us expect people will find job for them. Its obvious job found by oneself for themselves. It all depends on your eagerness to change, learning, and enthusiasm. Banking, IT and various office jobs ranging from clerk to managerial level are available, though you have to abide certain procedures and leave the rest on luck.

* Lastly, Canada can be a better option than UK, if you have Permanent Residency status. For students, UK still have various good options. For further on this, you can contact me on headoffice@link2canada.ca

Thanks for the info. Useful when we decide to move and settle down somewhere (and Vancouver/Canada is one of the choice) and someday after few years. Probably to get a new/second citizenship/passport.

Canada won't have me unfortunately

Canada the best place to live?

I'm not too sure about that. Born and bred Canadian, I still have my doubts.

Is it true that people in canada say 'eh' all the time, and do you guys really have milk in bags?

haha

yes both are true.. you know what I am saying Eh!

no, yes.

Also Canada is way too friendly, i bet they're up to something...

Canada in no way shape or form is "too friendly". It is simply an image created by our loud mouth, obnoxious, overly intrusive neighbour.

And yes, I spell it neighbour, not neighbor.



(Sorry America, you know I didn't mean that. Please don't leave us)

hahahha shiiiit you reminded me of milk in clear plastic bags! that stuff is awesome eh? and yea, we say eh a LOT, and if you dont say eh, ur not a canadian (its really that simple).

Id do anything to go to a bar, enjoy some chicken wings (20 peices, 10 regular and 10 honey garlic) and watch a decent sens hockey game.



ps: canada sucks. canadians rule.

Tad chilly in winter eh ... Winter is Oct to May
