When I lost my job and my husband was retired we decided to leave Ontario and moved to Fredericton NB. and we love it. Found a home on 4 acres for 30% of the cost of the house we sold in Ontario and now have a very affordable retirement.

[@ginyuforx9632]

I wish all the rest of the old farts move out of Ontario. I'm sick and tired of slow geriatric drivers on 401 hogging all the lanes

Sadly, people leaving Ontario for the better parts of the country are driving prices up in those regions.

[@thomaskamdoum552]

You're 100% right

[@sohalvr]

Thanks for sharing! My wife and I are in our 30s living in Calgary AB and are seriously looking at moving to Fredericton next year. We're fed up with the growth and noise of Calgary and are looking for a quieter life and Fredericton is really speaking to us to buy our first home. We are going to come visit next spring to suss it out. If you've got any advice in the meantime about daily living, prices, healthcare etc, that would be much appreciated!

[@juniperdog5523]

@@dfunckt. Well there is a give and take. Yes property values go up but these “city people” also bring a vibrancy and a demand fir good restaurants that maybe were lacking before. I live in a small town in BC where this is happening and there is good and bad.

Great vid. Production, videography, and editing were great.

[@manbtm1]

Great video, I agree totally about Windsor, it’s always been a hidden gem. There’s so much to do in the area and with Detroit across, five minutes away, you’re basically living in a large metropolitan area like Toronto without having to deal with the day-to-day hassle , you have pro sports, first rate cultural entertainment, world-class museums and symphony shopping and many other things to do literally five minutes away, The weather also is very temperate being so far south for Canada, actually the most southern point.Windsor itself is a nice town that offers a great restaurant scene and lovely parks and plenty of shopping also. Nice people too by the way, and some really interesting housing areas, the riverfront is absolutely beautiful. Check it out

[@BoondockSaintRyan]

I've lived in Windsor my whole life. I've given up on it. I'm looking to transfer out as soon as I can. I used to love it, but it's full of selfish, greedy, miserable people. Worth drivers, too many investors ruining the housing market. A mayor and council who don't care. It's really too bad. Potential.....yes. A healthy, vibrant future...... absolutely not.

[@NadiaDakroub]

I agree. My family moved from London to Windsor in 2019. I live in a suburb of Detroit now. Hope to retire in Windsor soon to join my extended family. Love the waterfront, parks and Canadian way of life with still being close to Detroit for sports, shopping and shows.

[@zartan-1975]

Windsor is a hole! It is dying at a uncontrolled rate! It is FULL of meth heads and massive amounts of other drugs! The bike gang’s literally own areas of windsor. The other areas are full of elderly dying people who have never kept up their houses! The costs of windsor are skyrocketing because of the people investing in houses and condominiums to rent at unreal prices!

Please do your homework. Rent has skyrocketed in Windsor since 2017. The figures in this video are very low. Units in my building (which I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy) are $1800 for a 1BR, and $2200 for a 2BR. 2BR houses are renting for $2400-2800/month. Unemployment is very high and wages are low. If you're happy working in fast food or retail, there are lots of jobs, but those won't cover rent. House prices have nearly tripled since 2017.

I came across ur channel while applying for my citizenship application 1 week ago. I immigrated here 3 years ago under FSW and i live with my husband in windsor, ON. I chose windsor for its affordability, weather, proximity to Detroit. I just want to say that u ladies provide a VERY realistic content in ur videos! My 2 bedroom rental is 1300$ and u can even find cheaper than that. Windsor is a hidden gem. Absolutely no traffic, u can drive around the city in 20 mins stress free. If u miss the hussle and bussle u can cross to Detroit and if u like a more relaxing atmosphere u can drive the opposite way (to the county). Keep on the great content. Sending love ❤️

[@cyrillemrad4950]

@@lilik5694 the way i look at it is that: wage for every occupation is the same across ontario. When coming to Canada u might need to wait a bit until u get a job in ur field, so u might end up landing on a job with minimum wage 1st until u start getting the "canadian experience ". I started a 17$/hr customer service job and i was able to afford rent + living expenses which can not be achievable in places like Toronto with that kind of pay. Just like the ladies said : what's the point of having a higher paying job if u will spend most of it on rent.

I moved to kitchener from Vancouver BC in 2017 then in late 2021 I moved from kitchener with my 2 year old to Windsor Ontario. Windsor has been a blessing, I can afford to live here with working just 1 job as a single mom. The people of Windsor are kind, very friendly and welcoming, I'm glad I made the decision to move to Windsor Ontario. Before I moved to Windsor, I had to chose between Calgary, Moncton new Brunswick and Windsor Ontario. The other 2 places are super cold and I was not really done with Ontario so I chose Windsor.

Kitchener has lost its unique history based on German settlers, its now India. And like Brampton, bursting at its seams.

I’m Canadian born and raised. Edmonton should be on this list, it’s affordable for now. Secondly, Trois rivière will be hard to live in if you don’t speak French, even if you don’t have to work out of your home you need to speak the language. Thunder Bay is fine but it is very remote from many places- it is 18 hours from Toronto by driving.

Great thing about Toronto is a vehicle isn't required where most other cities/towns, require a vehicle for most work and day to day life.

Damn, that was my plan back in 2018 to move to London once I finished my studies in Ottawa. Things changed in 2019 and 2020. All of Ontario is unaffordable now. London has been the worse. Search homes in London for sale and you’ll see eye-watering prices for little homes. Pre-sales for townhomes are touching a million mark. Same story in Ottawa, GTA, Kitchener-Waterloo, Kingston, and everywhere. Options are Timmins and North Bay but they are expensive too for their size and location. Homes in North Bay at $500k plus. It’s crazy. Calgary and Edmonton became sellers market for the time during that pandemic boom. Record number of people moving to Calgary and Ontario losing net number of people each year. Even worse in Vancouver and anywhere in BC. East hastings area in Vancouver is just third world now, becoming LA and San Francisco…working people living on the streets, I have no hopes anymore, I plan to move to US for higher salary and relatively affordable homes…Ontario has gone to shit…There was a little town in the news few months back which was seeing homes getting sold at a million dollars, away from any big city…Atlantic Canada is even worse…Halifax is becoming too unaffordable…home ownership among my generation is on a free fall…it’s demotivating :(

Depends on how much you're usually spending, and are willing to save and invest. It would be a nice exercise to do to budget for yourself and your needs. There's a website numbeo.com that can provide information on cost of living in those cities so you can calculate how much you'll be spending on average. Saving and investing is up to you to decide. And any of tax calculators will help you calculate your salary before tax vs. how much money you will have left after tax to spend, put aside and invest.

If moving to BC stay away from the coast! It is the most expensive area in Canada with severe homelessness, drug abuse, healthcare and housing issues. It is impossible to understand the severity of these issues coming from eastern Canada.The Interior of BC is much nicer, although it's much smaller.

Can you talk about Sarnia?

Windsor is my choice because of its proximity to Detroits.

Hi maam. can you tell me the other diffculties about immigrating in canada except finding a jobs and housing.

[@casebeth]

My grandparents hometowns both made the list 🥰 thunder bay and Trois Riviere :) Also I feel like a good strategy to get newcomers to settle outside the GTA would be to issue a SIN with COPR so that newcomers can look for a job anywhere in Canada before landing

[@MakeThatChange]

That’s a brilliant idea - why haven’t they figured it out?!

[@casebeth]

@@MakeThatChange I've no clue. I really do think it would help. The current situation of having to apply for a SIN post landing understandably leads newcomers to land where they have the highest probability of getting a job. The info they ask for at service Canada is the same info IRCC already has for each applicant, so I don't imagine it would be too hard to just include the SIN. It could.be a great opportunity for smaller cities to attract talent and fill some of their most acute labor shortages

@I Rojnica Not just newcomers, Canadians too if you want more money and lower expenses.

Thanks for your video ladies....ur look gorgeous.....can you help someone who live in another country move to Canada, please

[@loganc5456]

Only Regina and Trois-Rivieres have decent rent prices. All the other cities have very expensive prices.

[@oldveeh]

Nice video. But I would be curious to know why you talked about both Saskatchewan main city and did not mentioned Winnipeg. Did you consider Winnipeg ?

[@MakeThatChange]

Winnipeg is a great option too! We will do another video with more cities in the future

[@oldveeh]

@@MakeThatChange actually, I do not care if Winnipeg made the list or not. I'm actually wondering why Regina or Saskatoon are a better option. If you look at the numbers Winnipeg is a bigger city, so I assume more job possibilities. And the real estate citation is affordable, I think it's about the same as the Saskatchewan. And Manitoba I thing has a better health system. This is my understanding from internet and KZbin. But I can be wrong or missed something.

[@MakeThatChange]

When we did our research Winnipeg came at a higher cost of living than Saskatoon, that's why we didn't include it.

[@oldveeh]

@@MakeThatChange Good to know thank you.

[@person-yu8cu]

These small city prices, while cheaper than the big cities, are still very high compared to 20 years ago even in the big cities!

[@MakeThatChange]

So sad and so true 🥲

Nice video,.. how’s the employment in Saskatchewan if I’m coming with tourist visa is it easy to change it to work permit ?

[@MakeThatChange]

depends on your qualifications and the type of the job you want to do. We recommend you do research on jobs in demand in Saskatchewan and the city you want to move to!
