Canada Photography Jobs
Possibly moving to Canada?
I just posted a question about moving to England, but I also might move to Canada. BIG DECISION and I was wondering about nice towns to live in. I’m in my mid twenties, I’ll be needing a job as a vet or zoologist. But back to the main question, I’m looking for nice towns or cities to move to. I’d like a house that is detached and being in zoology and photography I’d like nice landscape/scenery and nature. Friendly people and just a nice environment :]. When I went to Canada I liked Hamilton a lot. Low crime would be nice too.
am currently residing in Vancouver, and like you, I immigrated to canada a couple years ago. You will find that the cost of living in Vancouver is very high, but there are still tons of job opportunities. BC’s economy currently stands the strongest in Canada, and it is very unlikely that you would be unemployed for a long time. Homes are probably the peak in terms of cost of living: the average detached home in Vancouver is valued at 600,000 dollars. You can rent a 2 or 3 bed condo in Downtown for about 2000-2300 a month. Vancouver also currently has the most expensive housing market in Canada. In terms of weather, Vancouver is the warmest city in Canada and its winter shouldnt be a problem for you. The temperature is usually between 30F – 50F (0C – 5C) during the winter, so no colder than New York City, Philadelphia or Boston, and 30F being the coldest. It rarely snows, maybe only 3 times a year. However, it does rain A LOT here, and i would reccomend getting some rainjackets and umbrellas. The summer here is awesome, sun until 10pm and 80-100F (25 – 35C) weather. Public transport is incredibly efficient, probably one of the best systems in North America. Buses come by about every 15 minutes, depending where you live, and the skytrain system connects the downtown to the rest of the city. The seabus crosses from downtown to North/West Vancouver in 15 minutes, and you are even allowed to bring bikes aboard. This city is very eco-friendly and the transport is so good, my advice would be to wait on buying a car. So choose VANCOUVER! you’ll really find the city beautiful, and u have stuff like skiing 20 minutes from dowtown (Grouse mountain), good night life, and an extremely safe environment. The people are a lot friendlier too, since the weather is warmer I guess. o and dont go to eastern canada… winter is UNBEARABLE, so stick with western canada. Hope that helps
