Life in Vancouver vs Manitoba Winnipeg in Canada

[@Matthew-ir1wi]

Lived in both Vancouver and Winnipeg, and honestly I'd pick Winnipeg man. I get a more "homey" feeling in Winnipeg compared to Vancouver, everyone feels to plastic and fake in Vancouver, feels like they are all just fake people who put on masks to hide their true colors. In Winnipeg I feel it is more close knit and has a certain layer of authenticity. Sure it is smaller and less extravagant, but you learn to appreciate the people around you, and that's what counts. Also Vancouver is wayyyy more expensive compared to Winnipeg, so that's a plus.

[@lavonnealexander6936]

Matthew that is true! I live in Winnipeg and everyone is so kind here and social !

[@kb9847]

I moved from Vancouver to Winnipeg. I miss the Coast for the view, but life in Winnipeg is better. However, getting a job in Vancouver is easier than here in Wpg. Both my adult kids live in BC one in Vancouver and one in Nanaimo. My Daughter in Vancouver pays $600/month to share a bedroom and in Wpg she had her own 2 bedroom apartment for that much.

[@elflett8432]

So tru I lived in winnipeg from 0-14 an I never had any friends that were down for me like the ones in peg. Surrey is hard to find real ones

[@Sandra.-.]

Even though I havent been to Winnipeg I'll agree with you because I have been to Vancouver and I hate that city!

[@dorelle]

Yes! And the insanely huge amount of people openly using needles in ultra touristy places. Sorry Vancity. I love everything else about BC. I'd move back k to Victoria in a heart beat. But alas here I am in Winnipeg.

Job competition is not just based on cities, it based on the need in that field. You can have 10 years of combined undergrad and graduate education in Winnipeg, and still find it highly competitive like I do.

[@kyle2963]

😂 I just moved from Winnipeg to Vancouver too. It’s nice to be away from the cold but other than that... it’s expensive

[@RadPitt]

After a year what do you find better

[@akshayaddy]

I would ask the same question Kyle asked. Also which would suit better for an international student?

[@AudaciouslyMe]

So dope! Thank you so much. I live in Vancouver and really want to move to Winnipeg, but im nervous. Haven’t started watching yet, but hopefully this helps me make my decision!

As an American any where in Canada is great. Love the people ! Super kind and welcoming but they also give you space. People in Canada are better looking than in USA. I guess it attributes to a clean air, copious space, and multitude of outdoor activities. Obesity is like half of that of USA.

[@The2701666]

from vancouver, i can tell you that comparing vancouver to winnipeg is like comparing san francisco to milwaukee. many middle class vancouver people struggle to make ends meet....you could easily pay $1700 a month in rent just for a modest small older appartment. people in van are confused about who runs the city... the countless drug addicts, homeless, gay pride society the mayor or the activist cyclists or protesters who are allowed to shut down any street and delay the flow of traffic at anytime. to a large degree this place has been dramatically affected by big chinese money and the housing market is so out of control that even a old small beat up house will sell for one million, and i could go on and on. most people are very insular and dont care much to meet new friends. when someone from van says they will call you later that could mean later that day or later in the year. other than that its got some very nice scenery

[@nancyleader6967]

Nowhere.

[@kb9847]

@@Bodybuilding109 for some reason I never got these notifications. My daughter lived in Old St. B in a 12 unit building. Most tenants worked at St B and when I was talking to the landlord he said he liked to keep the rent a little lower to keep tenants. He said it was nice to not have to chase people to pay and that by keeping it a bit lower it was actually better for him. This was close to 6 yrs ago though.

[@manjot4748]

please do Canadian healthcare system explained

[@VCityglobal]

Interesting topic

[@1979rrhemery]

I’ll just explain it the way I see it (Canadian born and raised)... Health care in Canada is “free”, we pay for it in our taxes. Pretty much everything is taxed, our paycheques are taxed, purchases from stores are taxed with a GST and a PST tax. A good portion of those taxes pay for our healthcare system. With that being said we do pay for dental ourselves, medication ourselves, eye exams, chiropractic and physiotherapy ourselves. So essentially our doctors appointments and hospital visits and any medications we need while in the hospital are covered by our healthcare system. Most employers have a health plan coverage through insurance companies that will cover a percentage of the extra things like medication, eyeglasses, chiropractic, massage, physiotherapy, ambulance fees and Dental as well as a travel insurance coverage for if we have medical emergencies while travelling in other provinces and in the United States or other countries. So for a single person that cost can be from $50 and up a month and for somebody who has dependants (spouse or children) that cost is much higher. The cost varies based on the coverage and percentage you are getting with your package. Even though we are taxed quite high (13% total PST & GST on purchases here in Manitoba, and tax off of our paycheques... not exactly sure how much is put towards our healthcare of those percentages) I think that our system is pretty good. In the United States they have to decide whether or not to go bankrupt or get treatment for cancer, I’ll pay the taxes and be ok with that for if ever I get sick. You may have to wait for your doctors appointments or to see a specialist, but if you are extremely sick and need medical attention right away it’s there... and it’s free!

Winnipeg is better. Why? Major Housing price difference. Have to work 24/7 to live in Vancouver, no spending money for fun. No holidays. Winnipeg - comparatively cheap Housing, more extra cash, more weekend fun, can take winter holidays somewhere tropical, can take summer roadtrip to places in Canada. Only problem is winter is terrible, invest in a good parka. If you have lots of cash, or very high paying job, or whatever and money isn't an issue, then Vancouver is better, for sure.

[@kb9847]

I agree. I'm from Vancouver and live in Winnipeg now for the past 15 yrs. Both my adult kids moved back to Vancouver. When we lived in Vancouver we never could have bought a house, here we did and were able to raise our kids with them being able to do activities because we could afford it here. Winter here though is awful!! lol My husband loves it as he loves to go ice fishing and he also rides his bike year round here.

Hmm I never thought that finding part time job would be difficult in Vancouver. But I think I will find a job it shouldn't be a big deal from my perspective. Also I heard in Vancouver people are not social is that really true? I'm curious.

[@richardpepple6039]

Nah finding jobs in Vancouver isn’t hard at all. It mostly depends on what you are looking and if you know people who can get through the door. Honestly Vancouver isn’t very social I’ve lived here for almost 7 years and I’m still trying to figure out why.

[@mashal2567]

I have to disagree it's easier to find a job in Vancouver .. also in Vancouver all my job offers were 20-30k more than my Winnipeg ones.. I guess depends on the field.. but as a paralegal it's very easy... I got 3-4 interviews a week.. I am white female and finding friends in van city was easier than all other cities I lived.

[@Mrkaranuk]

Hi sorry to bother, I am law graduate from foreign country. Planning to move to Canada next year. Should I consider Manitoba. I will be doing a diploma in paralegal most probably. I think getting a permanent residency is little easier compared to other provinces. Maybe I am wrong? Firstly I considered BC coz of the weather but many people were saying bc has drug issues, plus it's getting really expensive. Then i decided Ontario would be a good choice. Now some friends of mine in Ontario saying it takes longer here to get PR here coz of amount of people apply for PR in Ontario. Would really appreciate your opinion on how to decide which province to choose. My main aim is to get settled in next 5 years ( I am already 27), buy a house and have my family join me. Regards

Winnipeg is the biggest shit hole in Canada. Even Regina is nice compare to it. I lived in Winnipeg for 10 years and as soon as I moved to bc my depression went away. Everytime I visit family in Winnipeg I realize how moving from Winnipeg was the best decision of my life. That city has nothing for it. In Vancouver everyone actually has goals to live a better life and have amazing city, everyone is super health conscious and strives for better. Winnipeg is good if you are a lazy person who prefers to sit at home and watch Netflix lol during the -50 winters that's all you can do really...
