Moved to southern NB 8 yrs ago. Never regretted it. Back into hunting,fishing and quad trails and don’t forget the sailing! Never going back. You have to realize that things are different. NBers work on their own t8me and I’m ok with that.

[@AsDfGh6781]

Yes moved from niagara region to the country 25 mins from moncton. It will be almsot 2 years since we moved to NB. Yes there are pros and cons. Our kids love it and the most difficult part was leaving the whole family. We love our home and happy and thriving here. Xoxo. Its true ppl here in NB have no idea what living in Ontario is like lol

[@kc1973able]

I would have an idea because I’m from the UK 🇬🇧 . I’ve been here in Fredericton for 24 years and I love it. Been all over Canada 🇨🇦 and I do I fact like Ontario 👍 but I Such a Maritimer now that I wouldn’t move love NB 👍

[@Japi506]

First thing someone from Ontario needs to do before moving here is dropping the ontario mindstate and lifestyle. Maritime living is a totally different beast.

[@Randalmandle]

Agreed the area I grew up in is no longer a charming place. NB has that small town atmosphere that disappeared in Ontario years if not decades ago.

[@kc1973able]

Fkin A man 👍

[@Bob-lz4bz]

I grew up in NB during the 1970s and 1980s. All I ever heard from Ontario was arrogant, ignorant stereotyping and insults. According to them, we were the “have-not province.” Now look what’s happening…the SOBs are moving to NB in droves, yapping about how beautiful it is.

[@Randalmandle]

@@Bob-lz4bz I always thought it was beautiful and spent a number of partial summers there. Didn’t have the means to move there until about now. Don’t prejudge, some people will think you are from Ontario.

[@Bob-lz4bz]

@@Randalmandle Not if they actually read what I said. My judgment is based on nearly 53 years of life experience. I’ve seen countless examples.

[@mrbluandthechichicrew]

Moved to NB 3 years ago...from Ontario and don't regret a thing! More bang for my buck, cottage living year round for me!

[@JennyCelly]

Exactly! Happy to hear you're enjoying NB 🤗🙌

[@nellyvernaza5008]

Lovely family and thank you for sharing both the good and harder things about living in New Brunswick 😊

[@JennyCelly]

Thank you and happy to hear you found the video useful! 🤗

[@tarun4629]

What about healthcare in NB ? it's pretty much worse as compared to whatever bad healthcare we have in Ontario

[@rosslangille3956]

After 8 years I’ve never had a problem with health care. Emergency wait time are less than an hour unless there is a really big accident or unforeseen dilemma. Last t8me I went to emerge room in Ontario I walked out after 20 hours.

[@jimvautour595]

very good video, great family, easy to see how NB has chilled you out a bit.

[@JennyCelly]

You almost have no choice but to slow down 😆Thank you for the positive feedback 🙏

[@Randalmandle]

Good choices, we grew up in a rural area close to KingCity and after much thought and research bought a house close to Miramichi NB a couple of years ago. We are making the permanent move this summer 2024. Thanks for reinforcing what we think about the move.

[@JennyCelly]

Welcome to NB! I think you guys will love it here!☺🦞

[@sohalvr]

My wife and I are looking seriously at moving to Fredericton from Calgary! Thanks for your wonderful insights. With car insurance, are the premiums you mention monthly or annually? Thank you!

[@JennyCelly]

Those premiums are monthly. How exciting that you guys are looking at starting a new life chapter in NB too!🙂🙌

[@sohalvr]

@@JennyCelly awesome, thanks Jenny! :) yeah we're excited for sure. We need a quieter life haha

[@Japi506]

Random note. St malachys in Saint John New Brunswick is a catholic high school and still operates as such.

[@JennyCelly]

I didn't know. Thanks for the info! :)

[@transfer5033]

Such a cute family!

[@JennyCelly]

Thank you for the kind words!🙂🙏

[@robmcginn4484]

I got a real chuckle with this family video! I grew up in Etobicoke for. School but in Bolton/Albion from age 5 on. We have lived in Thunder Bay for the past half century and we are at Amethyst Harbour right on the shore of Lake Superior… Our kids grew up in the country but stil in the city and they are still here with our 4 grandchildren …. Toronto? No thanks!

[@JennyCelly]

Pros and cons to both but we have LOVED living a slower paced life, her in NB. Thank you for the positive feedback 🙂🙏

[@uzbruss]

[@stevebrien1041]

hard to fix missing family but there is a lot of semi professional sports in NB

[@JennyCelly]

Agree, family is hard to replace BUT you can always convince them to move here too 😄Kidding, I definitely know what you mean 🙂

[@The123history]

This must be a sign! We are thinking of moving to Moncton ❤

[@JennyCelly]

How exciting! Happy to help answer any questions you guys might have about the move 😊

[@madmikemadmike2175]

[@LincolnHawk-bk5yr]

@@madmikemadmike2175 It's not as expensive as Ontario. Not even close.

[@JennyCelly]

Hi Emroz, thanks for your message. I don't know specific details to the immigration rules in NB, but please check out this Government of New Brunswick website for more details: www2.gnb.ca/content/gnb/en/corporate/promo/immigration/living-in-nb/settlement-services.html Best of luck with your move! 😊

[@andreygnat7940]

Thank you ! Good story for my family. Because we want to move from our country to Canada. And New Brunswick looks much better than Ontario for us. Can you compare this province with Alberta? And also are there good job opportunities for newcomers?

[@JennyCelly]

Hi Andre, I have never been to Alberta so I can't compare it, but New Brunswick definitely has a slower pace of life than bigger provinces. Our taxes are 15%, so much higher than Alberta. There are opportunities here for newcomers, but before making a decision, check out places like - carreerbeacon.com, NBjobs.ca or Indeed.com to see if there are job opportunities in your field. Best of luck with your move! 🙂

[@mrsloi3265]

We have lived in Alberta, Ontario and New Brunswick. Alberta has better job opportunities, less taxes, higher living expenses. We were by Jasper and loved Alberta. Totally different nature aspects but beautiful! Job wages are substantially lower in New Brunswick but property sizes are bigger for less. We prefer New Brunswick for that reason but do love Alberta ❤

[@jackhoek2811]

What about the family doctor shortage?

[@JennyCelly]

Hi Jack, unfortunately, like many other provinces in Canada, there is a shortage of physicians in New Brunswick to serve the patient population. We do have walk in clinics and hospitals and for those seeking a family physician, they can contact Patient Connect NB online or by phoning Tele-Care 811 to be placed on a waiting list. I always advise people moving here that may have ongoing health issues, to first try to connect with a doctor in NB before moving or to get a doctor referral from the province that they are moving from. Some of my clients have gotten a family doctor within the first 6 months of living here, while others are still waiting after 3 years.

[@blairlindsay5791]

that’s nice that you don’t need to support a local economy . it’s so cheap there and Amazon has jobs for young people

[@dougiep2769]

I know i loved it there.. only place in canada where i met honest police. Miramichi new brunswick..

[@JennyCelly]

❤❤❤

[@dougiep2769]

@@JennyCelly sadly I had to flee Canada for speaking up about absolute medical fraud in Ontario.. can't even get healthcare and injured by police for speaking up about it.. good luck

[@JohnAnderson-sq8lt]

Everything is too expensive in Ontario, everything, housing is half in New Brunswick

[@wesedi5949]

Cheap house to buy lol and low mortgage in NB compared to Ontario high wages high rent and you can't even save your down payment for a house in the GTA AREA and the outskirts of the GTA is still crazy.
