Ahhh if you talk about nice weather and beautiful long beachs and sweet view.. definitely yes indeed it's the best.

if you talk about the rent and the extraordinary unreached price of home and expenditures for a modest family.... hummmmm it's better to avoid living there.

So Vancouver is rather be the best in the eye-view of tourist, than a daily-living modest family.

Good luck.

There seems to be some confusion...Victoria is the ONLY place to live in Canada from november till may  ONLy place  steve

I live in Kingston 10 years ago..it was just a place...I lived in Yellowknife and I thought that was a great  place...for bachelors, and family with kids in elementary school and high school

If you want to have a very high standard of living and have the credentials professionally to make use of the diverse opportunities and the fast growing economy then Calgary is a great place to live (remember, even working at a superstore gets people $14/hour. I make $100K a year as an Engineer and only 32 years old).

Above all, we have beautiful mountains, lakes and valleys in Banff, Lake Louise and glaciers.

If you don't mind the cold weather from December till March, it is a wondeful place to live in.

Me and my wife are moving there,the place yet to decide,she is clinician and am in the transport and contraction,actuall by now am in Afganistan with a military contractor,someone tell me where to think first especially moving from Africa-Kenya?

Thank you, Aebdel!

Welcome !


All depend on the style of life of the person and also his job field.

So every city in Canada has got a sepcial charm, one couldn't fit with some people, others can.

Start to search for the criterias that you are looking forward (employment rate, social activities, security etc...) then choose 5 cities having such criterias,cross the preferences of each cities that you like the most,  and finally do your choice.

Welcome to Canada.

Let us know what will be your choose when you'll decide.

新年快乐 ! (Xin nian kuai le)

Dear Abdel,

I am fine! Thank you for your advices and your Chinese which give me a big surprise and warm welcome! I am so happy!

也祝你新年快乐！（ye zhu ni xinnian kuaile， It means Happy new year to you too!）

IS IT A GOOD PLACE TO START AS NEW IMMGRANT?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Welcome on board schuraidah

Can you please avoid cap lock lettering while posting on the forum please.

Thanks for your kind comprehension.

Hello Shuraidah,

I, by myself, do not have a concrete informations about Halifax, however all I can say is in the statistics of the links I put on this subject.

try also to check memebers of expatblogs who are living there. Most probably they could be in better help than me.

Good luck my friend.
