To those of you that live up in Canada; My wife and I are thinking of moving up there once I finish school. What are the differences between there and living in the US. Any areas that are better than most, and any to areas to stay away from.

For a guy like you, I would suggest Alberta. Nice mix of prairies and close to the mountains also. Calgary has just been rated the 4th most livable city in the world. Property is a decent price after the boom and bust of the oil sands, great infrastructure, lower taxes, etc.


Avoid the big cities like Toronto and Vancouver. Unless you make more than 6 figures.

I have some property in northern Alberta, near Goodfare. Hit me up if you want some country land!

I'm in the market for a cabin in the woods where I can hunt and fish.

Suggestions?

We are planning to visit either Calagry or Vancover this spring summer. My wife is super excited, and so are the kids. I look to have about 18 months of school left, and with Canada starting a pro soccer league up there, I hope to time it pretty close.

Vancouver is going the route of several California cities. Lots of homelessness, ridiculously high priced property due to incredible demand. It is a city that caters to the rich.

A 1 bedroom, 600 square foot condo starts around $400K. To rent the same, about $1500/month. Plus, there are penalties and premiums now for foreign property buyers, because rich Chinese have been buying up multi million dollar properties with cash, then leaving them unoccupied 9 months of the year.

Thanks for the info.
