Thanks Rakesh. I am Business analyst and have around 5.5 years of experience in Banking domain.

It is expensive to live in Toronto due to housing costs.  A one bedroom apartment in a not so nice area is $1000,., maybe a bit less.  To buy a house now is around $700000.  The best job market is in Toronto

True - Toronto does have more job opportunities as population size is bigger and there's where the centre of commerce is in Canada for the most part. But having lived in a smaller sized city in Canada, like Halifax, you enjoy the convenience of less and more tolerable commute to work (which means less congestion), affordable housing, out right more peaceful community to live in. You do loose out on the fact that its not near any other major cities or exciting place of interest. Unlike Toronto, you can't drive to places like Niagara, or Buffalo or many others within 1-2 hrs drive away. Halifax is about the only biggest city on the east coast. The next biggest, would require a ferry ride from Sydney NS over to Newfoundland and another 4-5 hrs drive to St Johns, NL.

Despite the isolation, I enjoy the peace of mind here. If you're in the IT industry there's lots opportunities out this way and not to worry, no one's going to compete for it as many folks want to go to Toronto - so you'll have more competition there FYI.
