For the housing market in the greater Moncton area, I live in Riverview and get notification when ever there is a new property for sale here, and unlike Moncton and Dieppe, the Riverview house prices have been going down in the last 3-5 months. It's still high, but not as much as during the peak of the pandemic and also compare to the prices in Dieppe, Moncton and also Shediac (which is the worst for prices in this area). My two cents worth. Thanks for the video.
This is the first hard facts clip I’ve watched about NB - thank you so much. It’s a real shame that the local government is not doing more to support local growth and opportunities for young people rather than encouraging wealthy people to buy up properties.
Canada must put her act together with regards to their healthcare. Their nurses and doctors are aging and foreign nursing requirements are getting crazy. while USA is very open to foreign nurses. Time is ticking, canadians.
@@Travelling..Bottle..Digger Yes. I found the bottle in the Cumberland Bay area in a tree farm of all places. It is dark green and I had to drill out the hard rock like clay in it to loosen it up and get it out.
Your prices on apartments is way off!!! You would be lucky to find even a 1 bedroom for under 1000$ right now with NOTHING included! I have been trying to help a friend find a place in saint john for over a month and have had no luck! And another thing to consider is there is not many dog friendly apartments and minimum wage sucks! Iwork full time and make around 800$ every 2 weeks! Sometimes a little less for full time i have a 2 bedroom and pay 1300 nothing included heat and lights are around 200-300 in the winter every month the buildings here are extremely old and the insulation sucks! The old windows are drafty! I had one apartment that cost me 500$ a month for electric heat and that was before all the prices started going up! And i dont even want to try to guess what it would cost if you had an apartment that needed oil heat then you have to worry about other bills phone cable internet insurance if you have a vehicle gas and of course groceries which is going through the roof lately and keeps going up 🙄 a single parent with a couple kids im not sure how they would even make it right now... homelessness is on the rise!! This is the first year we have had actual tent cities popping up around the city and health care sucks!!! Wait times in hospital is insane people are dying in waiting rooms waiting to be seen!!and the wait list for a family doctor is several years long! Everyone sees videos saying oh its such a great place its cheap and they flock here but its driving the prices of everything up but the wages are not going up to match now its next to impossible to afford to live here vacancies in apartments are getting a lot less which is great for the greedy landlords from out west buying up all the cheap buildings thinking they can charge the outrageous prices that are common in their area but not affordable at all for anyone living here sorry for the rant but they need to know the whole truth
Thorough and very good points. It is insane in NB especially without rent caps and the rights of tenants are not good. It allows pricing what the market will bear for newcomers, but not those already with leases. The things landlords get away with in NB I could never get away with in BC as a landlord.
NB is so corrupt and has always favoured businesses and slum lords over tenants and citizens. New Brunswick has high provincial personal tax burden, but a low business tax burden compared to other provinces, and guess who has to mitigate this? To think that current tenants that have been in the same place can have their rent raised with no annual caps in NB, is so unfair. Even BC with all its faults would never let that happen to long term tenants. I know many in BC that pay less than 1000 a month for rent in nice places because they are protected by annual caps; the units that are the same adjacent to theirs are about double that, because they are recent tenants, but they are even protected with annual caps.
@@rps1689 oh i know! At the beginning of covid my son got super sick ( not covid) was in hospital several months suffered permanent lung damage amung other things that have left him disabled we came home from hospital and because there was a boom in apartment building sales and landlords from out west were paying double what places were worth my landlord wanted to cash in but because of my sons lung issues we couldnt stay while repairs were made because of all the dust i was paying 825 heated for a 3-4 bedroom so i got evicted!! Now pay close to 2 grand nothing included and im looking at a new rent increase in the spring😢 im already looking for a smaller apartment where i will just sleep in the living room because its so insane but it seems like there is nothing even worth it and i have been looking since before xmas for a friend who lost their place to a fire and there is nothing even close to what they can afford right now
@@lilmomma6112 Sorry to hear about your situation. Does NB have something like BC's SAFER you can apply for? It's criminal what NB is doing to folk like you.
Exactly, tell them the truth. Thank you. So far you are the only one that posted a numerical value as to what things cost. I wish when people post their comments that they would just post the true number cost of everything. We all need to communicate the truth.
New Brunswicker's pay more tax but workers get paid WAY less than the rest of the country. Some companies only exist in this Province because they can get away with paying their employees a lesser wage.
And get away with price gouging due to the lack of competitive advantage. The problem in NB is it has one harmonized tax so when you order something from the US you will get dinged 15 percent! Whereas in BC, because there is no harmonized tax, you will only be dinged 5 percent.
I made about the same an hour as an electrician does in BC as dry waller in the early 90s. I know transit operators in BC that take home after taxes over 4200 a month and more if they make Sundays part of their 5 day week and work evenings. Plus perks and benefits an Irving employee, NB Energy electrician or RN can only dream of. Plus opportunities for advancement and more pay and only needing a high school education or less. That's good money in BC especially if you have a spouse making close to that wage. They could easily afford to buy a nice townhome or luxury condo in a nice neighbourhood; not bad for two bus drivers that would still have a nice amount of money left over even if they had a mortgage payment of 4K a month. It's all relative.
I think id Canada tackles their lack of healthcare numbers and make it a lot better for people to be treated quicker, the country will be in much more better situation. I see a lot of immigrants sharing their concern about the long wait times. They should make it easier for doctors, nurses, technicians and others to come into the country and setup hospitals.
Healthcare is highly standardized and its public.Its part of taxes we pay,the government is responsible for the standards every clinic or hospital practices.This makes everything complicated,bureaucracy.
Corporate interest is dismantling public healthcare to pave the way for private one. If they become successful, think American style prices for your healthcare in Canada. Healthcare where you can be bankrupted by the medical bills.
Also higher taxes are due to the concessions the province gives to the family that pretty much runs the province even when that family is making record profits; not surprising as this family has the greatest influence on the legislature and because of this, NB is the only province where the electorate is more a a spectator than participant. It is not called a "Company Province" for nothing. We know Canada and the US have a distorted and pernicious form of competition because it has primarily an economy of monopolistic power that limits real capitalistic competition, that exploits a population, rather than serving it, but in NB is is too an extreme seen no where else in Canada and has been for decades. So guess who has to mitigate the damage caused by this while insane amounts of money gets offshored in trust abroad? Price gouging is an issue too in NB, due to lack of competition and corrupt price gouging. One only had to look at insane record-level profits which do not comport with inflation pressures due to rising costs. How is it a product from NB cheaper in BC or a product from and distributed from ON, is cheaper in BC than NB and the distance is greater to BC from ON than NB? Health care is a problem in NB because it is a bastion of neanderthal though when it comes to creativity for access to primary healthcare. Retirement is not the only problem, you'll find no lack of doctors complaining that they can't access the resources or have the resources to treat their patients the best way they see fit and often cite this is one of the reasons for leaving NB. NB should go back to the days when they paid for med school for low income students and housed RNs when they were in training. Problem is a cream of the crop RN or doctor with extensive experience doesn't want to come to NB especially when so many positions are not full time with the benefits and opportunities seen in other provinces. Heck in some provinces a transit operator with a high school education can make more than a RN in NB. The sad thing about NB, is it still lacks the human capital it needs. To think a lot of the apt projects are being delayed because of low wage for electricians and carpenters on site that are hard to retain and quit often when something better is offered. There is a reason why a lot of trades people in NB are migrant workers that go to ON and BC seasonally. I met an electrician on a site in Fredericton last month who's hourly wage was that of a drywaller back in the early 90s in BC. BTW, nice to see your "Part Two".
@@QuestCanada I like that you mentioned how the landlords have the upper hand, which is not balanced for the customer. A landlord even has the option in NB to only offer you a year to year lease where it doesn't automatically go into month to month; then have the nerve (both the province and landlord) to consider you have breached the lease if you need to leave unexpectedly within the lease of the second year.
It's unbelievable how corrupt the Irving family is in NB and how much control they have over everything, including the provincial government. Irving oil is the primary reason that NB will never be a place that people can actually thrive.
Don't forget giving himself an 11% raise while telling nurses they were asking for too much, trying to close rural hospitals right before the pandemic, withholding PPEs at hospitals to save money, making phone calls to ask ambulance NB to break rules for one patient who had been cleared for home recovery, giving tax breaks to people who make over 100k/yr because they are the "ones who actually work", systematically cutting funding to public services (schools, hospitals), making up statistics to support a certain narrative (3 times now), and have 5 years (and honestly more) to learn an acceptable level of french but never doing it. Oh and disregarding minorities, the obsession with the 'war on drugs'.... NB needs to let some younger blood that is not affiliated with said Oligarch Family to take the wheel for a bit. Someone who cares about the people more than they care about balancing books and giving handouts to friends.
@@vaneyjane Yep. Higgs is a corporate shill. Unfortunately I don't see the youth required to make change wanting to come live in NB, and what youth are in NB, get so easily discouraged knowing that the only way to maintain a lasting career in politics, one needs to cozy up to that family. It is not a secret, as long as I can remember, that NB is the only province where the electorate is more of a spectator than participant. It is not called a "Company Province" for nothing. The Irvings have always been he talk of the town so to speak; heck I even recall the Baptists in the boonies going on about how unethical the Irvings were until they wanted to sell some land for tree farms ; ) There was always something that brought up the Irvings, be it about the mill pollution wrecking a cars paint job, their penny pinching or Scot trucks to name few. My teacher inn the 70s was fired for telling students how to address concerns about Irving’s pulp mill by going as a group to a constituency office to present their complaints. Funny how other teachers that informed students how to do so for other complaints didn’t get fired let alone the story never made the papers, yet no lack of folk taking about in the diners and in the public square.
The actual hard truths are… #1 Employment rates maybe up but that’s because many immigrants in Canada pick up survival jobs. Job opportunities in NB & Atlantic Canada are in limited areas. #2 Taxes for people are higher because large companies in the province avoid paying their share by manipulation & corruption. This has been going on for years & successive governments couldn’t care less. #3 Healthcare is on the brink of collapse or maybe it already has. Healthcare professionals are aging and/ or are switching to other careers. With the way things are it seems one has a higher chance of surviving a stroke in cab even before reaching the hospital because the cab driver is a doctor who couldn’t continue his/her career in Canada & is driving a cab just to survive. #4 Housing is in short supply & it’s difficult to find them if you’re non-white. Some new houses/apartments are being built but the rents are exorbitant. Most houses you get are without laundry & getting laundry done at a laundromat in winter is brutal. #5 Public Transport is limited & hence one has to own a vehicle & owning/ maintaining a vehicle isn’t cheap either. #6 Salaries in NB are dismal & aren’t keeping up with the increasing cost of living. #7 Very few people in NB are welcoming of immigrants and hostilities & micro aggressions are quite common.
Let’s not exaggerate. Canada has become much better at finding IMGs skilled professions if they can’t get licensed as an physician in Canada. You don’t find physicians driving cabs.
@Amy Seaden physicians are definitely driving cabs, mostly if you did not get your degree from any of the country's education sector anyway. Immigrants Getting medical professional licence have always been a pie in the sky. Nothing changes till now.... Employment increase rating is only attributed to people picking survival Jobs and not career progression ones... And by skilled profession, you are still referring to Cab driving coz that's one of it
It will take many years for NB conservatives to fix what many years of liberal policies have done to this province. Anybody who voted liberal deserves what they voted for. Enjoy.
@@Virus001 The has been a lot of effort to open up the eyes of IMGs to other opportunities. If you don’t speak English or French that would be a barrier to anyone getting employment in Canada. Many of IMGs end up leaving Canada or go back to school. That is the more common situation.
Taxes are pretty high in NB from what I gathered as well. Thinking of moving there from BC, but if the housing bubble bursts here, then I think I will stay here.
Best to stay in BC especially if you have a property paid for or close to paying it off, as property taxes and utilities are cheaper in BC not to mention groceries. Also if you a senior on an income that makes you eligible for GIS, the NB senior benefit is one third of what the minimum BC seniors supplement is. In NB it is a measly 400 a year! Plus BC has a larger home owners grant for seniors, that only a senior in NB could dream of. No lack of condo owners that are seniors in BC paying only 100 dollars a year in property taxes; unheard of in NB.
@@ladyfeatherjane So glad we moved back to BC, it was worth every dollar we spent to go back. Living in NB sure made us realize we took BC for granted.
As conclusions I'm not convinced to leave my country iraq for New Brunswick Canada We have warm and cool weather Almost free health care No Taxation And we close to everything
Immigrants are everywhere and get all the services and jobs and healthcare. I moved here from Ontario and have lost money big time!!! Food cost almost double, finding work is impossible… houses were well priced but now they went down and I can’t get my money out….. Irving oil has poisoned every thing from the air and the ocean and river…. It smells bad all the time…. This area geographically should be outstanding!!! But it’s poorly managed. Roads are horrendous, but your taxes and property taxes are massive!!!! It was a mistake coming here…. Oh and if your kids make the team… it costs hundreds of dollars. You pay for sports here. For example, high school soccer team was $70 and basketball was 140$ …. Football was 350$. It’s crazy expensive here!!!!!
Immigrants are nothing new to NB, it's just more are coming and not leaving like they used to. I have no idea where they will be able to find housing for the forecast of more coming, but I have seen some crowded in slummy run down houses in Fredericton and Saint John. I hear ya. Groceries are insanely high here. I pay just over 5 dollars in BC for a 4 litre jug of milk and in NB just over 8 dollars, but I have found some in small markets for just under 8; still too expensive. Also margarine that comes from ON is 30 less to buy in BC than in NB. Don't order anything from the US, you will get dinged 15 percent instead of 5 percent GST. Taxes are insane and the worst of it is you get fck all for it in return. Benefits for seniors are dismal here compared to the breaks they get in BC. Also I can't believe that in the pathetic excuse of a capital city they do a lousy job at keeping the side walks clear and safe in the winter let alone access to pedestrian crossing. Nightmare here for anyone with mobility issues who want to go for a stroll in the winter or need to do an errand. This is not the place for an aging senior or a young ambitious person.
Some things never change here, I was born and raised her and after coming back here from being gone for 33 years, I notice customer service relatively sucks, still hardly and accountability in the service sector, and half assery rampant. I'm so happy that my time here is as a transient and can't wait to leave. I'd take the loss if I were you and sell if you can and get out; life is too short.
Another hard truth it is very hard to find someone to do work for you. I posted a notice at UNB, Superstore, and a community centre wanting to hire someone to load a truck for me. I offered $400 for two hours of helping and no one ever contacted me. Also there is next to nothing in regard to seniors getting help that are willing to pay to have chores done.
When you have a Liberal federal govn't paying people to stay home and receive CERB, GST rebates, CARBON TAX rebates, free drugs and family allowances in the thousands for every kid they can pump out, why work? No, it's not because of Putin's war with Ukraine or covid or anything else the lying liberals would have us believe. It's because in 2015 when Captain Crayons was elected, there were 8 liberal Premiers in Canada. Now there are 2. The Turd will do all in his power to destroy the system so he can blame conservative Premiers. One only needs to check his record from 2015 till now to understand that he is very capable of, and willing to destroy this once great democracy to quench his thirst for control of the weak minded Canadians who believe his crap. And don't bother looking for any real news from the liberal propaganda machine known as the CBC. nor the Toronto Star , CTV, Globe &mail to name a few who've been sharing his $650 million handout since 2016 as long as they pump his Liberal goo 24/7.
NB is one of my favourite places but the income taxes and consumption taxes are terrible - we’re also hearing the federal government might increase taxes again this year. Your top bracket is already 54%. This contributes to healthcare issues - specialist physicians are paid less here and the taxes are higher. It’s difficult to recruit.
NB has one of the highest provincial personal tax burden, but a low business tax burden compared to other provinces. Plus the insane concessions giving to a family that pretty much has most of the influence on its legislature doesn't help matters. You will find no lack of doctors complaining that they can't access the resources or have the resources to treat their patients the best way they see fit and often cite this is one of the reasons for leaving NB.
hello ma'am! new sub here... I'm planning to visit NB as a tourist and thinking to study for aesthetic, I'm a facial therapist in the Phil and looking forward to apply PR IF I finish my school program
You will not get an apartment for $800 You will not get a doctor You won’t make top wages You will pay way more taxes. Income and property taxes Everything cost more. Winters are long Summer is short Everything closes early here. Good luck finding and being able to afford a hobby. Good like finding a job with benefits or pension. People are delusional if you think NB is affordable.
Also what little benefits they have here for seniors here are pathetic and socially invasive. And even if you can afford a hobby, you got to order all of it then pay 15 percent tax on it. Wages suck here. Before xmas, I talked to some electricians on a construction site that make the same hour wage I did back in BC in the early 90s as a dry waller!
we do all training to perform the job and will never be replaced by a robot, unlike a lot of the jobs, including nurses and doctors, truck drivers and store employees, etc.
I was born and grew up in New Brunswick…other than trying to get transportation to and from my dr’s appointments, New Brunswick is a pretty well-rounded province to live in. I am 100% sure that I would never ever want to live in the USA to get healthcare. I would never want to pay out all my money on Dr’s appointments and hospital operations and procedures. I’d surely be 6 feet under or so broke that I’d want to commit suicide because of financial woes. No thank you. I will live in New Brunswick til the rest of my days.
Same here; born and raised in NB, but never liked the place. It took going back to live there for 3 years that made me realize I took BC for granted. So glad I moved back to BC. As for healthcare in NB, it was dismal compared to what I have access to in BC.
furniture is covered by house insurance so when there is theft or fire then you have peace of mind, as such you will have to pay for the premium as well... nothing free in this world I know...
@@QuestCanada I understand how insurance works. What I don't understand is why I have to pay premiums on $300,000 worth of contents when they are only worth $30,000. Apparently all NB insurers have agreed to this
Lived here 63 years. After hours clinics have been shut down which has destroyed ER service. Serious stuff, I had cancer surgery, no complaints. If you speak fluent French employment is 100% easier. If you only have a high school education, go West. Our present Premier is a bigot, but they come and go. We may not have the postcard nature of Banff or Whistler, but the best part about New Brunswick is the accessibility of our beautiful nature! That is our biggest asset. ❤️
On Indeed there are 5559 jobs today compared to 52, 293 in Alberta. Plus the taxes are higher in NB on lower wage earners. High demand for French or Bilingual speakers or you're opportunities will dim.
lets put this into contect - in Alberta how many people compete in one job application? Population in Alberta is 4.4M vs NB which is 776K (and most are retired senior citizens who needs care). High demand for French speakers? No not necessarily.
The medical care here is about to colapse completly. A vast amount of DOCTORS are in their 50, 60 and 70's with no Doctors to take their places. I have been on a government list going on a year. This is a disaster waitung to happen. This is the Premiers fault period.
Also you'll find no lack of doctors complaining that they can't access the resources or have the resources to treat their patients the best way they see fit and often cite this is one of the reasons for leaving NB Unfortunately in NB, too many hospital beds, even before covid, were occupied with alternative level of care patients and folk that simply don't take care of themselves, Doctors here have been raising this concern for years on how having so many beds per capita means nothing when they are mostly hogged up by folk with preventative conditions from unhealthy lifestyles. NB has some of the most unhealthiest and unfit folk in the country not to mention inactive with some real poor eating habits that have always put a strain on the number of beds we have.It is only going to get worse before it gets better.
Please I will be resuming to study Masters in electrical engineering in UNB ,Winter 2025,Please is there any advice or anyway I could connect with other students currently studying the course or about to study the course?
hello my name is joe from Ghana wanting to study at new Brunswick as an international student. Any advice for me whether to come or not. Is New Brunswick a better place for international student.
I hope I am reaching out to you.Thanks for the update on this province.Please kindly send me your email address so I can get in touch with you or contact me. Moreso, can you do more videos on other provinces ,as well as schooling in New Brunswick.
A hard truth about NB is, it is pricing rentals now bases on what the market will bear from newcomers that can afford much higher rents that the average renter in NB. NB doesn't care about those squeezed out of the rental market nor cares about losing the human capital they really need.
Hi Ricey, my family and I are planning to move to Blacks Harbour near Saint John.I am originally from India, and have lived in the past for 7 years in Ottawa and 5 years in Victoria. Currently we are based in California and want to move back to Canada. We are looking to buy a small business in Blacks Harbour that has a net income of $75,000. What would your recommendation/comments be for this. I am in my early sixties and my wife is 4 years younger than me. We have 2 adult children that would be living with us working remotely. Thank you very much. I have really enjoyed a few of your videos. They are very informative.
My advice to you is have a backup plan in place if one of you get sick you can get out of the province to the place with better doctors. I have a friend from Iran he has property in Ontario so if he get sick he can fly back to get better medical coverage he and family need!!
If the net income is sufficient to cover your living and you did study the business then good for you. Financial backup plan is always a safe bet.I cant really make an indepth comment or recommenation as I am bit fully informed on your circumstances.
In the capital city, the transit system only runs once an hour and doesn't run on Sundays and holidays! I couldn't believe the low wages and hourly rates professionals get here. I was talking to electricians on a construction site before xmas that made about the same hourly rate I got in BC doing drywalling back in the early 90s! Rents are too high especially with utilities. Groceries are insanely high too; about 40 to 60 percent more expensive than in BC. I'm comparing Superstores here to BC superstores. You know there is rampant price gouging here when a product from ON costs 40 percent more in NB than in BC. Or a product from NB cost less in BC than NB.
@@paulduffy8774 I see literacy is still an issue in NB. Unfortunately some of the nicest places in the world with the most opportunities come with the price of tremors and some crazy seasonal disastrous weather yet are still the most sought after places to live. NB has been an economically depressed province since the early seventies and it still shows, as there are no lack of people struggling to make ends meet and lately more being priced out the rental market and even housing market. We still see no lack of our young people leaving because of this especially those that have realized their proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities is much higher here than some equivalent size places in BC and Ontario where there are better jobs, higher pay not to mention better advancement opportunities and social mobility even for those with only a high school education.
The Maritimes have too many un educated people lining up by the thousands to guzzle the liberal goo. The lying CBC and most other main stream media are on Trudopes payroll.
Definitely not high cost of housing compared to most of Canada although it has gone up. NB has always been a province that is considered a province with less opportunities.
Hard truth is, before covid the proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities in NB was OK, but now it is the highest in the country. The proportion is much higher in NB than some equivalent size places in BC, AB, and even ON. This is why so many long term tenants have been priced out of the rental market, as there is no control on annual rent increases for tenants in NB. It's only going to get worse. To think there are tens of thousands of renters in BC not paying much more than they did in the same unit for the last ten years whereas in NB there are no lack of renters in units they have been in for only 5 years that have seen their rent substantially increase as high as 30 to 100 percent, which is why many had to leave or even leave NB.
2021 nb had a 37 million dollar surplus 2022 last i saw they were on track for 150 million surplus so im pretty sure they could either cut taxes or rebuild health care. fun fact i applied for disability in NB as a hemipalegic i was told they couldnt afford it and reffered to medical assisted death the provance would have lots more money if they didnt give the billionaire who owns the most private land in the provance tax cuts heck they dropped his property taxes in 2022 before that he went years without paying them at all as for rent i got screwed on that one i live in a trailer park i chose the current park because of the cheaper lot rent and because i didnt like the rules of the other parks in the area but then in 2021 the property management company that owns all the other parks in the city bought this one and tried hiking rent by 25% for 2022 they hiked it by the 3.8 the max they were allowed and this year its going up by 20% while offering less or worse services like snow removal last winter they let it pile up to 3 feet before plowing and the plow truck got stuck so since then the residents clear the snow
NB is an insane place. As a landlord in BC, I could never get away with the stuff landlords do in NB. It is the same old same old in NB; giving insane concessions to a billionaire family at the tax payers' expense; there is a reason why it is the only province that is called a company province.
@@user-ln9ui9yn3j NB was a company province before trickle down economics, and when the 80s came, the Irvings had more to count on; now they could get an additional way to have their failures and losses socialized.
Yeah right, bring in liberals who took 30 years to destroy the province before Higgs came along. Quit yapping about something you obviously know nothing about
New Brunswick breeds a hardy type of people. Its hard to make a living here, its hard to get ahead in the province and finding housing is brutally difficult. The homeless population here has skyrocketed, crime rate and cost of living has also went up with the sudden boom in population. Minimum wage is second lowest in the country yet the prices of electricity, oil, and food costs are just as high or higher than other provinces like Ontario or BC. We also don't have proper tenant and landlord law's making it very difficult finding an honest landlord whom cares for the tenants safety and maintaining a safe building. Since the population has jumped so much in the last 5 years you will be lucky to find a one bedroom apartment that doesn't have bed bugs, major mold or leaking problems, proper locks, smoke detectors or isn't going to cost you 300 or more a month to heat. Its a hard to survive in provinces. My suggestion is visit first, ask the locals about housing, jobs, transportation and cost of living. Do that long before just jumping on a plane like I did to move to "beautiful" New Brunswick.
One thing I noticed about NBers living elsewhere in the country is that they are resilient folk. NB has the worst tenants' rights in the country and the things landlords can get away with in NB, I could never get away with in BC as a landlord. It took me living in NB 3 years to realize how much I took BC for granted; so happy to be back in BC for financial and quality of life reasons.
Rent for apartments are paid by month, per month for the amount of time you signed a lease for {if you signed a lease.} Last year, I lived in Moncton and was paying $925 a month for a bachelor apartment...very expensive .
My friends rent will go up 350 this year in Fredericton; an increase of 25 percent increase. I could never do that to my tenant in BC because of rent caps. I have a friend in BC that lives in Vancouver West and his rent hasn’t even gone up that amount in over 8 years. And he pays less for a similar apt that my friend has in NB and it includes heat and hydro.
I sold my 2,200sqft, 4 bedroom bungalow, with big lot, an outdoor heated pool opened from April 1-October 1st. I hate shovelling, cutting the grass. I often pay someone to do it. I also wanted to be closer to the city. And I’m paying cash for the condo. I’m just afraid that the condo fees will go up from 238$ to 400$ then 600$ etc….
@@lynnpatenaude5548 Well that can happen with condo fees, but usually by a condo management that is poor at what it is suppose to do or a complex that was poorly built that will need repairs later hence assessments. Are you on the condo board and does the board manage the building or have they hired a management company to take care of business and to be at meetings. Worst condo complexes to buy into are self managed ones. I can attest to that having been on strata councils in BC for years. A condo board or whatever you call it in NB, (we call it a strata council in BC), is only good as its members are and how much they want to put money into the upkeep of the complex for preventative measures. If you have too many owners that are just there as short term investors, it can be a headache when it comes to votes on improving or maintaining the complex. I prefer apt or condo living over living in a house most of my life for reasons of freedom to travel and move; and like you, to avoid chores. I thought about buying a condo in Moncton, but the property taxes are too high and the utilities especially for seniors on fixed income. In BC a condo assessed at 400K would only cost you about 600 a year in property taxes if you live in it, and if you are a senior you would pay only 100 a year! Plus if you are on GIS, you will get at least a a top up of 100 a month or more so basically a senior on GIS gets their property tax paid for by Service BC unless they live in a property assessed over 2,125,000. Condo fees in BC are about 250 to 400 a month depending on the complex and what it has, for example: a swimming room, games rooms, etc. Imagine your total monthly costs of living in a nice condo in BC would be only about 450 a month including heat and electricity and your condo fee. Now wonder most seniors in BC don't want to leave the province; they either downsize in their neighbourhood or to another region of the province.
Dont move to NB if you are looking for a white-collar job. They dont have enough companies in NB for professional jobs here. And this provinve is run by a Family.
Nursing homes I have visited the patients usually get a bath every 4 to 5 days. As for Higgs, it doesn't matter, just another politician will take his place that knows, as long as you cozy up to the family that pretty much has the most influence on the legislature, you will have lasting career in politics. Unfortunately the electorate in NB are spectators more than participants due to this.
Compared to most cities of the same size in Canada, not much construction going on and it is an economically depressed place and has been since the 70s. It hasn't even got the population back it had decades ago.
Saint JOhn is my territory, I travel to SJ atleast 1x every 3 weeks. I have seen growth in the construction in that city as compared in the previous years.
@@QuestCanada Five new high rises over the next ten years and the Fundy Quay project and the redesign not to mention routine projects and revitalization, which were long overdue. No question this is a big deal for SJ, but I could take you to a several suburbs across the country where there is more construction and development than in all of NB in only 4 square city blocks. That can be a good thing and bad thing; depends on who you are and your situation.
Add to that insane price gouging due to the lack of competition in the province. Utilities are high and to give you an idea, groceries are about 20 to 30 percent more expensive here than ON and about 30 to 60 percent more expensive here than prices are in BC.

NB is a haven for slum lords and those that thrive on corporate welfare; there is more than one reason why it is called Canada's only company province. NB has the worst tenants' rights in the country and I, as a landlord in BC, could ever get away with what landlords in NB get away with.
I am a US citizen who purchased a property outside Fredericton 2 years ago I have been paying double the property tax (which was already considerably high) because I am a non-resident. It remains to be seen if the Federal government will allow me to become a permanent resident or if I will be kicked out after 6 months not quite sure.
If it’s your primary home you should not be paying non occupied tax. If your renting the house then your extra tax being paid you recover in your rent. It’s the cost of doing buisness. I moved from Ontario and the property taxes are a lot more then nb
Also the province has lumber, fisheries, mining, oil refining but unfortunately its owned by one family which are the Irving’s, which has all government parties wrapped in its tentacles 😮
Is this program applies to all vacancies in those 6 companies for irrespective of any skilled and unskilled workers. is IELTS not at all required for any kind of skilled jobs in those companies?
One hard truth that somewhat shocked me coming to NB, was how lazy and pretentious realtors can be. I was so spoiled in BC where all the realtors I had, had no issue picking you up tens of kilometres away to show you some properties or even take you to lunch. The best I got here was a hem and haw realtor that made it apparent that travelling 2 kilometres to do a pick up and showing way out of their way.
That's because New Brunswick is little $$ commission with homes starting at 100k. In British Columbia it's millions of dollars for a box, lol = all the fault of greedy realtors and land M0BSTERS mostly FR0M 🇨🇳
I actually think NB should reduce its population. We don’t have enough infrastructure (doctors, roads, sewer systems) to handle additional population and many NB people don’t like big cities so many of us hate seeing Moncton and other cities grow in out province. The whole planet needs to slow down on population growth.
If you can find a job immediately after graduating that is related to your field and with high salary, then you’ll be fine. If not, minimum wage jobs will be your ticket to surviving. Healthcare is being dismantled to pave the way for private one, think American style prices for your health insurance. You need a car to go anywhere unless if your work is near. That means a car and the insurance for it. People are dying in emergency waiting rooms because there is a shortage of staff. Pray to whoever you believe nothing major happens to you physically or you’ll be one of them.

One really needs to research NB extensively and pay it a substantial visit in the winter and spring. I know a couple that moved to Saint John from Vancouver Island thinking they would save money, but the taxes and cost of living took them by surprise especially the electric bill not to mention groceries so now they spend more in NB than they did in BC; they obviously didn’t investigate enough before moving. Also the poor access to primary healthcare shocked them and that the walk-in-clinics are far and few between and don’t do the procedures and treatments we see done in many of the clinics in BC; they wrongfully thought this would mitigate the problem of not having a family doctor. They also found it strange, like I did, that most lab work is done in hospitals and you can’t get your results the next day or two online. Now they want to move to the Okanagan, but will have to take more from their nest egg to do so. I came here somewhat naive, but thank the stars only to be a transient to take care of some family commitments. My friends in BC and especially my accountant said to me “NB? Really? It’s gonna cost you more to live there.” And she was right, but all in all it has been an interesting experience though do looking forward to being back in BC “permanently” not just because it will be less costly for me to live there, but because I can never get enough of the mountains, islands, and traveling destinations in the Pacific Region.
hi sis, wanna ask how to get there with my kid I'm a single mom and I was thinking of working there what would you suggest I do, are there jobs even low-skilled I can apply for, or is not a good idea?
No such thing as a two bedroom for 800 a month in NB's three major cites. But I do know of some in Vancouver, but that is only because the tenant has been it it for years and is protected by annual rent caps for years.
Im from New Brunswick, so I can say that IT positions are not in high demand. There are IT positions but you normally have to start in low positions and earn your way into those positions.As a new comer to Canada and New Brunswick you will mostly have to start working in a low skilled position. The New Critical Worker program involves mostly labour and factory jobs. The GOOD NEWS is that overtime there will possibly be opportunities to move into more skilled positions within the company that hired you. before companies promote people to higher responsibility jobs with better benefits they will want to get to know you, know your personality, observe if you get along with coworkers, if you are dependable, if you agree with the company's mission statement access your skills ECT... Im my experience one observation that I have made with new comers to is that they are under the impression that their work experience, job title, position/salary/benefits with their former employer will automatically matched by their new employers. Unfortunately, most of the time that is not the case.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS BUT ARE RARE.One exception that come to my mind are NURSES.Canadian Companies ARE NOT OBLIGATED to match the job title/position/salary/responsibility that you had with the old employer in your home country. This is probably not what you want to hear but remember there is is GOOD NEWS too. The GOOD NEWS is that over time if you prove to be a good worker, get along with other people and have specific talents/skills that the company is looking for you will have the chance to advance. One important things to remember about advancements is that the wait time can seem lengthy because there are other people who started at the company before you who are also looking for advancement. you have to wait your turn as well ( the company does not owe anybody anything). Im am just sharing this information with you so that you will know what to expect and will not be disappointed if you decide to move to NB. I have become friends with a few people who moved to NB from outside of Canada and their employment expectations were not realistic and they were disappointed. I hope that this information is helpful for you to make a decision about if you want to move to New Brunswick or not. Also, remember that the job is just one reason to move here. NB is a safe, low crime province which makes it really good for raising families. Hope that this information is useful to you.
this truly depends on your spending habits,lifestyle and family members..Minimum wage is liveable if you work full time. Atlantic,sask,manitoba ,alberta are good options.
I want to move canada which province is overall best i listen New Brunswick is better then other less house rent price living standard high and also lot of jobs available in new Brunswick i listen it's very easy to settle for new immigrants anyone is live they plaese tell me true
every province has its pros and cons.New Brunswick has lower cost of houses it you’re looking at buying as compared to Provinces in the west specially Ontario.There are jobs ,specially healthcare and construction.
House are less expensive in NB, but rentals are quite high. If you buy a house, you need a good income to pay for the taxes and utilities on it whereas in some other provinces you do not.
Some don't have options like others. I know no lack of folk in NB that would give their right arm and their house to live in a trailer park near Victoria or Salmon Arm, but can’t because they are economic slaves to their jobs or just have vested in a pension plan they don’t want to give up. I have helped a lot of NBers over the last three years locate; even NB migrant workers.
For the housing market in the greater Moncton area, I live in Riverview and get notification when ever there is a new property for sale here, and unlike Moncton and Dieppe, the Riverview house prices have been going down in the last 3-5 months. It's still high, but not as much as during the peak of the pandemic and also compare to the prices in Dieppe, Moncton and also Shediac (which is the worst for prices in this area). My two cents worth. Thanks for the video.
This is the first hard facts clip I’ve watched about NB - thank you so much. It’s a real shame that the local government is not doing more to support local growth and opportunities for young people rather than encouraging wealthy people to buy up properties.
Canada must put her act together with regards to their healthcare. Their nurses and doctors are aging and foreign nursing requirements are getting crazy. while USA is very open to foreign nurses. Time is ticking, canadians.
The first step is to get rid of the current pm.

Your prices on apartments is way off!!! You would be lucky to find even a 1 bedroom for under 1000$ right now with NOTHING included! I have been trying to help a friend find a place in saint john for over a month and have had no luck! And another thing to consider is there is not many dog friendly apartments and minimum wage sucks! Iwork full time and make around 800$ every 2 weeks! Sometimes a little less for full time i have a 2 bedroom and pay 1300 nothing included heat and lights are around 200-300 in the winter every month the buildings here are extremely old and the insulation sucks! The old windows are drafty! I had one apartment that cost me 500$ a month for electric heat and that was before all the prices started going up! And i dont even want to try to guess what it would cost if you had an apartment that needed oil heat then you have to worry about other bills phone cable internet insurance if you have a vehicle gas and of course groceries which is going through the roof lately and keeps going up 🙄 a single parent with a couple kids im not sure how they would even make it right now... homelessness is on the rise!! This is the first year we have had actual tent cities popping up around the city and health care sucks!!! Wait times in hospital is insane people are dying in waiting rooms waiting to be seen!!and the wait list for a family doctor is several years long! Everyone sees videos saying oh its such a great place its cheap and they flock here but its driving the prices of everything up but the wages are not going up to match now its next to impossible to afford to live here vacancies in apartments are getting a lot less which is great for the greedy landlords from out west buying up all the cheap buildings thinking they can charge the outrageous prices that are common in their area but not affordable at all for anyone living here sorry for the rant but they need to know the whole truth
Thorough and very good points.
It is insane in NB especially without rent caps and the rights of tenants are not good. It allows pricing what the market will bear for newcomers, but not those already with leases. The things landlords get away with in NB I could never get away with in BC as a landlord.
NB is so corrupt and has always favoured businesses and slum lords over tenants and citizens. New Brunswick has high provincial personal tax burden, but a low business tax burden compared to other provinces, and guess who has to mitigate this?
To think that current tenants that have been in the same place can have their rent raised with no annual caps in NB, is so unfair. Even BC with all its faults would never let that happen to long term tenants. I know many in BC that pay less than 1000 a month for rent in nice places because they are protected by annual caps; the units that are the same adjacent to theirs are about double that, because they are recent tenants, but they are even protected with annual caps.
@@rps1689 oh i know! At the beginning of covid my son got super sick ( not covid) was in hospital several months suffered permanent lung damage amung other things that have left him disabled we came home from hospital and because there was a boom in apartment building sales and landlords from out west were paying double what places were worth my landlord wanted to cash in but because of my sons lung issues we couldnt stay while repairs were made because of all the dust i was paying 825 heated for a 3-4 bedroom so i got evicted!!

@@lilmomma6112 Sorry to hear about your situation. Does NB have something like BC's SAFER you can apply for?
It's criminal what NB is doing to folk like you.
Exactly, tell them the truth. Thank you. So far you are the only one that posted a numerical value as to what things cost. I wish when people post their comments that they would just post the true number cost of everything. We all need to communicate the truth.
New Brunswicker's pay more tax but workers get paid WAY less than the rest of the country. Some companies only exist in this Province because they can get away with paying their employees a lesser wage.
And get away with price gouging due to the lack of competitive advantage.
The problem in NB is it has one harmonized tax so when you order something from the US you will get dinged 15 percent! Whereas in BC, because there is no harmonized tax, you will only be dinged 5 percent.
I made about the same an hour as an electrician does in BC as dry waller in the early 90s.
I know transit operators in BC that take home after taxes over 4200 a month and more if they make Sundays part of their 5 day week and work evenings. Plus perks and benefits an Irving employee, NB Energy electrician or RN can only dream of. Plus opportunities for advancement and more pay and only needing a high school education or less.
That's good money in BC especially if you have a spouse making close to that wage. They could easily afford to buy a nice townhome or luxury condo in a nice neighbourhood; not bad for two bus drivers that would still have a nice amount of money left over even if they had a mortgage payment of 4K a month. It's all relative.
informative regarding NB housing and many other issues ....appreciate your efforts ...thanks
I accidentally moved to NB and I have to say it's the most passidic place.
What do you mean by passidic; can you elaborate?

I think id Canada tackles their lack of healthcare numbers and make it a lot better for people to be treated quicker, the country will be in much more better situation. I see a lot of immigrants sharing their concern about the long wait times. They should make it easier for doctors, nurses, technicians and others to come into the country and setup hospitals.
Healthcare is highly standardized and its public.Its part of taxes we pay,the government is responsible for the standards every clinic or hospital practices.This makes everything complicated,bureaucracy.
Corporate interest is dismantling public healthcare to pave the way for private one. If they become successful, think American style prices for your healthcare in Canada. Healthcare where you can be bankrupted by the medical bills.
@@QuestCanada mam just tell me does it worth to came on new brunswick????
@@QuestCanada Hi
@@Sainisaab-h9r yes houses are affordable
Also higher taxes are due to the concessions the province gives to the family that pretty much runs the province even when that family is making record profits; not surprising as this family has the greatest influence on the legislature and because of this, NB is the only province where the electorate is more a a spectator than participant. It is not called a "Company Province" for nothing.
We know Canada and the US have a distorted and pernicious form of competition because it has primarily an economy of monopolistic power that limits real capitalistic competition, that exploits a population, rather than serving it, but in NB is is too an extreme seen no where else in Canada and has been for decades. So guess who has to mitigate the damage caused by this while insane amounts of money gets offshored in trust abroad?
Price gouging is an issue too in NB, due to lack of competition and corrupt price gouging. One only had to look at insane record-level profits which do not comport with inflation pressures due to rising costs. How is it a product from NB cheaper in BC or a product from and distributed from ON, is cheaper in BC than NB and the distance is greater to BC from ON than NB?
Health care is a problem in NB because it is a bastion of neanderthal though when it comes to creativity for access to primary healthcare. Retirement is not the only problem, you'll find no lack of doctors complaining that they can't access the resources or have the resources to treat their patients the best way they see fit and often cite this is one of the reasons for leaving NB.
NB should go back to the days when they paid for med school for low income students and housed RNs when they were in training. Problem is a cream of the crop RN or doctor with extensive experience doesn't want to come to NB especially when so many positions are not full time with the benefits and opportunities seen in other provinces. Heck in some provinces a transit operator with a high school education can make more than a RN in NB.
The sad thing about NB, is it still lacks the human capital it needs. To think a lot of the apt projects are being delayed because of low wage for electricians and carpenters on site that are hard to retain and quit often when something better is offered. There is a reason why a lot of trades people in NB are migrant workers that go to ON and BC seasonally. I met an electrician on a site in Fredericton last month who's hourly wage was that of a drywaller back in the early 90s in BC.
BTW, nice to see your "Part Two".
@@QuestCanada I like that you mentioned how the landlords have the upper hand, which is not balanced for the customer. A landlord even has the option in NB to only offer you a year to year lease where it doesn't automatically go into month to month; then have the nerve (both the province and landlord) to consider you have breached the lease if you need to leave unexpectedly within the lease of the second year.
It's unbelievable how corrupt the Irving family is in NB and how much control they have over everything, including the provincial government.
Irving oil is the primary reason that NB will never be a place that people can actually thrive.
@@dh12. The sad thing is so many people have no clue how much of a detriment that family is to this province.
Don't forget giving himself an 11% raise while telling nurses they were asking for too much, trying to close rural hospitals right before the pandemic, withholding PPEs at hospitals to save money, making phone calls to ask ambulance NB to break rules for one patient who had been cleared for home recovery, giving tax breaks to people who make over 100k/yr because they are the "ones who actually work", systematically cutting funding to public services (schools, hospitals), making up statistics to support a certain narrative (3 times now), and have 5 years (and honestly more) to learn an acceptable level of french but never doing it. Oh and disregarding minorities, the obsession with the 'war on drugs'....
NB needs to let some younger blood that is not affiliated with said Oligarch Family to take the wheel for a bit. Someone who cares about the people more than they care about balancing books and giving handouts to friends.
@@vaneyjane Yep. Higgs is a corporate shill.
Unfortunately I don't see the youth required to make change wanting to come live in NB, and what youth are in NB, get so easily discouraged knowing that the only way to maintain a lasting career in politics, one needs to cozy up to that family.
It is not a secret, as long as I can remember, that NB is the only province where the electorate is more of a spectator than participant. It is not called a "Company Province" for nothing.
The Irvings have always been he talk of the town so to speak; heck I even recall the Baptists in the boonies going on about how unethical the Irvings were until they wanted to sell some land for tree farms ; ) There was always something that brought up the Irvings, be it about the mill pollution wrecking a cars paint job, their penny pinching or Scot trucks to name few.
My teacher inn the 70s was fired for telling students how to address concerns about Irving’s pulp mill by going as a group to a constituency office to present their complaints. Funny how other teachers that informed students how to do so for other complaints didn’t get fired let alone the story never made the papers, yet no lack of folk taking about in the diners and in the public square.
The actual hard truths are…
#1 Employment rates maybe up but that’s because many immigrants in Canada pick up survival jobs. Job opportunities in NB & Atlantic Canada are in limited areas.
#2 Taxes for people are higher because large companies in the province avoid paying their share by manipulation & corruption. This has been going on for years & successive governments couldn’t care less.
#3 Healthcare is on the brink of collapse or maybe it already has. Healthcare professionals are aging and/ or are switching to other careers. With the way things are it seems one has a higher chance of surviving a stroke in cab even before reaching the hospital because the cab driver is a doctor who couldn’t continue his/her career in Canada & is driving a cab just to survive.
#4 Housing is in short supply & it’s difficult to find them if you’re non-white. Some new houses/apartments are being built but the rents are exorbitant. Most houses you get are without laundry & getting laundry done at a laundromat in winter is brutal.
#5 Public Transport is limited & hence one has to own a vehicle & owning/ maintaining a vehicle isn’t cheap either.
#6 Salaries in NB are dismal & aren’t keeping up with the increasing cost of living.
#7 Very few people in NB are welcoming of immigrants and hostilities & micro aggressions are quite common.
Nice to see someone doesn't have their head in the sand.
Let’s not exaggerate. Canada has become much better at finding IMGs skilled professions if they can’t get licensed as an physician in Canada. You don’t find physicians driving cabs.
@Amy Seaden physicians are definitely driving cabs, mostly if you did not get your degree from any of the country's education sector anyway. Immigrants Getting medical professional licence have always been a pie in the sky. Nothing changes till now.... Employment increase rating is only attributed to people picking survival Jobs and not career progression ones...
And by skilled profession, you are still referring to Cab driving coz that's one of it
It will take many years for NB conservatives to fix what many years of liberal policies have done to this province. Anybody who voted liberal deserves what they voted for. Enjoy.
@@Virus001 The has been a lot of effort to open up the eyes of IMGs to other opportunities. If you don’t speak English or French that would be a barrier to anyone getting employment in Canada. Many of IMGs end up leaving Canada or go back to school. That is the more common situation.
Thank you for information👍
Taxes are pretty high in NB from what I gathered as well. Thinking of moving there from BC, but if the housing bubble bursts here, then I think I will stay here.
Best to stay in BC especially if you have a property paid for or close to paying it off, as property taxes and utilities are cheaper in BC not to mention groceries. Also if you a senior on an income that makes you eligible for GIS, the NB senior benefit is one third of what the minimum BC seniors supplement is. In NB it is a measly 400 a year! Plus BC has a larger home owners grant for seniors, that only a senior in NB could dream of. No lack of condo owners that are seniors in BC paying only 100 dollars a year in property taxes; unheard of in NB.

Immigrants are everywhere and get all the services and jobs and healthcare. I moved here from Ontario and have lost money big time!!! Food cost almost double, finding work is impossible… houses were well priced but now they went down and I can’t get my money out….. Irving oil has poisoned every thing from the air and the ocean and river…. It smells bad all the time…. This area geographically should be outstanding!!! But it’s poorly managed. Roads are horrendous, but your taxes and property taxes are massive!!!! It was a mistake coming here…. Oh and if your kids make the team… it costs hundreds of dollars. You pay for sports here. For example, high school soccer team was $70 and basketball was 140$ …. Football was 350$. It’s crazy expensive here!!!!!
Immigrants are nothing new to NB, it's just more are coming and not leaving like they used to. I have no idea where they will be able to find housing for the forecast of more coming, but I have seen some crowded in slummy run down houses in Fredericton and Saint John.
I hear ya. Groceries are insanely high here. I pay just over 5 dollars in BC for a 4 litre jug of milk and in NB just over 8 dollars, but I have found some in small markets for just under 8; still too expensive. Also margarine that comes from ON is 30 less to buy in BC than in NB.
Don't order anything from the US, you will get dinged 15 percent instead of 5 percent GST.
Taxes are insane and the worst of it is you get fck all for it in return. Benefits for seniors are dismal here compared to the breaks they get in BC. Also I can't believe that in the pathetic excuse of a capital city they do a lousy job at keeping the side walks clear and safe in the winter let alone access to pedestrian crossing. Nightmare here for anyone with mobility issues who want to go for a stroll in the winter or need to do an errand. This is not the place for an aging senior or a young ambitious person.
Some things never change here, I was born and raised her and after coming back here from being gone for 33 years, I notice customer service relatively sucks, still hardly and accountability in the service sector, and half assery rampant. I'm so happy that my time here is as a transient and can't wait to leave.
I'd take the loss if I were you and sell if you can and get out; life is too short.

Another hard truth it is very hard to find someone to do work for you. I posted a notice at UNB, Superstore, and a community centre wanting to hire someone to load a truck for me. I offered $400 for two hours of helping and no one ever contacted me. Also there is next to nothing in regard to seniors getting help that are willing to pay to have chores done.
When you have a Liberal federal govn't paying people to stay home and receive CERB, GST rebates, CARBON TAX rebates, free drugs and family allowances in the thousands for every kid they can pump out, why work? No, it's not because of Putin's war with Ukraine or covid or anything else the lying liberals would have us believe. It's because in 2015 when Captain Crayons was elected, there were 8 liberal Premiers in Canada. Now there are 2. The Turd will do all in his power to destroy the system so he can blame conservative Premiers. One only needs to check his record from 2015 till now to understand that he is very capable of, and willing to destroy this once great democracy to quench his thirst for control of the weak minded Canadians who believe his crap. And don't bother looking for any real news from the liberal propaganda machine known as the CBC. nor the Toronto Star , CTV, Globe &mail to name a few who've been sharing his $650 million handout since 2016 as long as they pump his Liberal goo 24/7.

NB is one of my favourite places but the income taxes and consumption taxes are terrible - we’re also hearing the federal government might increase taxes again this year. Your top bracket is already 54%. This contributes to healthcare issues - specialist physicians are paid less here and the taxes are higher. It’s difficult to recruit.
NB has one of the highest provincial personal tax burden, but a low business tax burden compared to other provinces. Plus the insane concessions giving to a family that pretty much has most of the influence on its legislature doesn't help matters.

I was born and grew up in New Brunswick…other than trying to get transportation to and from my dr’s appointments, New Brunswick is a pretty well-rounded province to live in. I am 100% sure that I would never ever want to live in the USA to get healthcare. I would never want to pay out all my money on Dr’s appointments and hospital operations and procedures. I’d surely be 6 feet under or so broke that I’d want to commit suicide because of financial woes. No thank you. I will live in New Brunswick til the rest of my days.
Same here; born and raised in NB, but never liked the place. It took going back to live there for 3 years that made me realize I took BC for granted. So glad I moved back to BC.
As for healthcare in NB, it was dismal compared to what I have access to in BC.
Most folk I met were alcoholic?
Just moved to NB. Contents insurance is pegged at 80% of the replacement value of my house. So I'm paying a premium on $300,000 worth of furniture 😮
furniture is covered by house insurance so when there is theft or fire then you have peace of mind, as such you will have to pay for the premium as well... nothing free in this world I know...
@@QuestCanada I understand how insurance works. What I don't understand is why I have to pay premiums on $300,000 worth of contents when they are only worth $30,000. Apparently all NB insurers have agreed to this

Lived here 63 years. After hours clinics have been shut down which has destroyed ER service. Serious stuff, I had cancer surgery, no complaints. If you speak fluent French employment is 100% easier. If you only have a high school education, go West. Our present Premier is a bigot, but they come and go. We may not have the postcard nature of Banff or Whistler, but the best part about New Brunswick is the accessibility of our beautiful nature! That is our biggest asset. ❤️
This land is so poisoned by irving by glyphosates, it is too late. No pristine or ancient forests here. Just dead forests.

Very helpful video
On Indeed there are 5559 jobs today compared to 52, 293 in Alberta. Plus the taxes are higher in NB on lower wage earners. High demand for French or Bilingual speakers or you're opportunities will dim.
lets put this into contect - in Alberta how many people compete in one job application? Population in Alberta is 4.4M vs NB which is 776K (and most are retired senior citizens who needs care). High demand for French speakers? No not necessarily.
Thanks for the video, greetings from Brazil.
The medical care here is about to colapse completly. A vast amount of DOCTORS are in their 50, 60 and 70's with no Doctors to take their places. I have been on a government list going on a year. This is a disaster waitung to happen. This is the Premiers fault period.
Also you'll find no lack of doctors complaining that they can't access the resources or have the resources to treat their patients the best way they see fit and often cite this is one of the reasons for leaving NB
Unfortunately in NB, too many hospital beds, even before covid, were occupied with alternative level of care patients and folk that simply don't take care of themselves, Doctors here have been raising this concern for years on how having so many beds per capita means nothing when they are mostly hogged up by folk with preventative conditions from unhealthy lifestyles. NB has some of the most unhealthiest and unfit folk in the country not to mention inactive with some real poor eating habits that have always put a strain on the number of beds we have.It is only going to get worse before it gets better.

A hard truth about NB is, it is pricing rentals now bases on what the market will bear from newcomers that can afford much higher rents that the average renter in NB. NB doesn't care about those squeezed out of the rental market nor cares about losing the human capital they really need.
Hi Ricey, my family and I are planning to move to Blacks Harbour near Saint John.I am originally from India, and have lived in the past for 7 years in Ottawa and 5 years in Victoria. Currently we are based in California and want to move back to Canada. We are looking to buy a small business in Blacks Harbour that has a net income of $75,000. What would your recommendation/comments be for this. I am in my early sixties and my wife is 4 years younger than me. We have 2 adult children that would be living with us working remotely. Thank you very much. I have really enjoyed a few of your videos. They are very informative.
My advice to you is have a backup plan in place if one of you get sick you can get out of the province to the place with better doctors. I have a friend from Iran he has property in Ontario so if he get sick he can fly back to get better medical coverage he and family need!!
If the net income is sufficient to cover your living and you did study the business then good for you. Financial backup plan is always a safe bet.I cant really make an indepth comment or recommenation as I am bit fully informed on your circumstances.
I recommend staying in California.
Is it good idea tomove Moncton? On spouse visa with 2kids. Do you reckon? Thanks

NB is a really difficult province to survive. Scarce job opportunities, high rentals and limited public transport
In the capital city, the transit system only runs once an hour and doesn't run on Sundays and holidays!
I couldn't believe the low wages and hourly rates professionals get here. I was talking to electricians on a construction site before xmas that made about the same hourly rate I got in BC doing drywalling back in the early 90s!
Rents are too high especially with utilities. Groceries are insanely high too; about 40 to 60 percent more expensive than in BC. I'm comparing Superstores here to BC superstores. You know there is rampant price gouging here when a product from ON costs 40 percent more in NB than in BC. Or a product from NB cost less in BC than NB.
difficult to survive nope no huricanes no tornatoes lots of jobs you have to look people get along plus there is a lot to do
@@paulduffy8774 I see literacy is still an issue in NB.
Unfortunately some of the nicest places in the world with the most opportunities come with the price of tremors and some crazy seasonal disastrous weather yet are still the most sought after places to live.
NB has been an economically depressed province since the early seventies and it still shows, as there are no lack of people struggling to make ends meet and lately more being priced out the rental market and even housing market. We still see no lack of our young people leaving because of this especially those that have realized their proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities is much higher here than some equivalent size places in BC and Ontario where there are better jobs, higher pay not to mention better advancement opportunities and social mobility even for those with only a high school education.
The Maritimes have too many un educated people lining up by the thousands to guzzle the liberal goo. The lying CBC and most other main stream media are on Trudopes payroll.
Definitely not high cost of housing compared to most of Canada although it has gone up. NB has always been a province that is considered a province with less opportunities.
How to apply please 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hard truth is, before covid the proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities in NB was OK, but now it is the highest in the country. The proportion is much higher in NB than some equivalent size places in BC, AB, and even ON. This is why so many long term tenants have been priced out of the rental market, as there is no control on annual rent increases for tenants in NB. It's only going to get worse. To think there are tens of thousands of renters in BC not paying much more than they did in the same unit for the last ten years whereas in NB there are no lack of renters in units they have been in for only 5 years that have seen their rent substantially increase as high as 30 to 100 percent, which is why many had to leave or even leave NB.

2021 nb had a 37 million dollar surplus 2022 last i saw they were on track for 150 million surplus so im pretty sure they could either cut taxes or rebuild health care. fun fact i applied for disability in NB as a hemipalegic i was told they couldnt afford it and reffered to medical assisted death the provance would have lots more money if they didnt give the billionaire who owns the most private land in the provance tax cuts heck they dropped his property taxes in 2022 before that he went years without paying them at all
as for rent i got screwed on that one i live in a trailer park i chose the current park because of the cheaper lot rent and because i didnt like the rules of the other parks in the area but then in 2021 the property management company that owns all the other parks in the city bought this one and tried hiking rent by 25% for 2022 they hiked it by the 3.8 the max they were allowed and this year its going up by 20% while offering less or worse services like snow removal last winter they let it pile up to 3 feet before plowing and the plow truck got stuck so since then the residents clear the snow
NB is an insane place. As a landlord in BC, I could never get away with the stuff landlords do in NB.

Is it possible to flag pool in New Brunswick?
you have to search if flagpoling is allowed anymore some regulations had been implemented about flagpoling
New Brunswick breeds a hardy type of people. Its hard to make a living here, its hard to get ahead in the province and finding housing is brutally difficult. The homeless population here has skyrocketed, crime rate and cost of living has also went up with the sudden boom in population. Minimum wage is second lowest in the country yet the prices of electricity, oil, and food costs are just as high or higher than other provinces like Ontario or BC. We also don't have proper tenant and landlord law's making it very difficult finding an honest landlord whom cares for the tenants safety and maintaining a safe building. Since the population has jumped so much in the last 5 years you will be lucky to find a one bedroom apartment that doesn't have bed bugs, major mold or leaking problems, proper locks, smoke detectors or isn't going to cost you 300 or more a month to heat. Its a hard to survive in provinces. My suggestion is visit first, ask the locals about housing, jobs, transportation and cost of living. Do that long before just jumping on a plane like I did to move to "beautiful" New Brunswick.
NB has got a rental board and rental law.
@@QuestCanada It is pretty much useless and most often favours the landlord
One thing I noticed about NBers living elsewhere in the country is that they are resilient folk.
NB has the worst tenants' rights in the country and the things landlords can get away with in NB, I could never get away with in BC as a landlord.

I don't think so, but I could be wrong.
i agree!
hi thanks. the rent for 1bed you mentioned is for how many months?
Rent for apartments are paid by month, per month for the amount of time you signed a lease for {if you signed a lease.} Last year, I lived in Moncton and was paying $925 a month for a bachelor apartment...very expensive .
My friends rent will go up 350 this year in Fredericton; an increase of 25 percent increase. I could never do that to my tenant in BC because of rent caps.
I have a friend in BC that lives in Vancouver West and his rent hasn’t even gone up that amount in over 8 years. And he pays less for a similar apt that my friend has in NB and it includes heat and hydro.
I just bought a beautiful condo in Moncton and I’m afraid to listen to this video…have I made a mistake?????
Do you like it and can afford the condo fees, utilities, and taxes? If so why would it be a mistake?
I sold my 2,200sqft, 4 bedroom bungalow, with big lot, an outdoor heated pool opened from April 1-October 1st. I hate shovelling, cutting the grass. I often pay someone to do it. I also wanted to be closer to the city. And I’m paying cash for the condo.
I’m just afraid that the condo fees will go up from 238$ to 400$ then 600$ etc….
@@rps1689 I forgot to ask: the condo is 65 Diamond.
@@lynnpatenaude5548 Well that can happen with condo fees, but usually by a condo management that is poor at what it is suppose to do or a complex that was poorly built that will need repairs later hence assessments.
Are you on the condo board and does the board manage the building or have they hired a management company to take care of business and to be at meetings. Worst condo complexes to buy into are self managed ones. I can attest to that having been on strata councils in BC for years.
A condo board or whatever you call it in NB, (we call it a strata council in BC), is only good as its members are and how much they want to put money into the upkeep of the complex for preventative measures. If you have too many owners that are just there as short term investors, it can be a headache when it comes to votes on improving or maintaining the complex.
I prefer apt or condo living over living in a house most of my life for reasons of freedom to travel and move; and like you, to avoid chores.
I thought about buying a condo in Moncton, but the property taxes are too high and the utilities especially for seniors on fixed income.
In BC a condo assessed at 400K would only cost you about 600 a year in property taxes if you live in it, and if you are a senior you would pay only 100 a year! Plus if you are on GIS, you will get at least a a top up of 100 a month or more so basically a senior on GIS gets their property tax paid for by Service BC unless they live in a property assessed over 2,125,000.
Condo fees in BC are about 250 to 400 a month depending on the complex and what it has, for example: a swimming room, games rooms, etc. Imagine your total monthly costs of living in a nice condo in BC would be only about 450 a month including heat and electricity and your condo fee. Now wonder most seniors in BC don't want to leave the province; they either downsize in their neighbourhood or to another region of the province.

Things like getting a bath weekly is a national standard. So has nothing to do with your premier.
Nursing homes I have visited the patients usually get a bath every 4 to 5 days.
As for Higgs, it doesn't matter, just another politician will take his place that knows, as long as you cozy up to the family that pretty much has the most influence on the legislature, you will have lasting career in politics. Unfortunately the electorate in NB are spectators more than participants due to this.
I live in SJ and si don’t see that construction…
Compared to most cities of the same size in Canada, not much construction going on and it is an economically depressed place and has been since the 70s. It hasn't even got the population back it had decades ago.
SJ used to be the city where most of NB'ers live but Moncton has taken over in the rent years.

So province tax 15% and federal 15% = total 30% at least. Am I right? How about the average living cost for a single family with 3 person?
Add to that insane price gouging due to the lack of competition in the province. Utilities are high and to give you an idea, groceries are about 20 to 30 percent more expensive here than ON and about 30 to 60 percent more expensive here than prices are in BC.

One hard truth that somewhat shocked me coming to NB, was how lazy and pretentious realtors can be. I was so spoiled in BC where all the realtors I had, had no issue picking you up tens of kilometres away to show you some properties or even take you to lunch. The best I got here was a hem and haw realtor that made it apparent that travelling 2 kilometres to do a pick up and showing way out of their way.

One really needs to research NB extensively and pay it a substantial visit in the winter and spring.
I know a couple that moved to Saint John from Vancouver Island thinking they would save money, but the taxes and cost of living took them by surprise especially the electric bill not to mention groceries so now they spend more in NB than they did in BC; they obviously didn’t investigate enough before moving.
Also the poor access to primary healthcare shocked them and that the walk-in-clinics are far and few between and don’t do the procedures and treatments we see done in many of the clinics in BC; they wrongfully thought this would mitigate the problem of not having a family doctor. They also found it strange, like I did, that most lab work is done in hospitals and you can’t get your results the next day or two online. Now they want to move to the Okanagan, but will have to take more from their nest egg to do so.
I came here somewhat naive, but thank the stars only to be a transient to take care of some family commitments. My friends in BC and especially my accountant said to me “NB? Really? It’s gonna cost you more to live there.” And she was right, but all in all it has been an interesting experience though do looking forward to being back in BC “permanently” not just because it will be less costly for me to live there, but because I can never get enough of the mountains, islands, and traveling destinations in the Pacific Region.

Very informative maam. May I know if IT professionals are in demand in NB?
Im from New Brunswick, so I can say that IT positions are not in high demand. There are IT positions but you normally have to start in low positions and earn your way into those positions.As a new comer to Canada and New Brunswick you will mostly have to start working in a low skilled position. The New Critical Worker program involves mostly labour and factory jobs. The GOOD NEWS is that overtime there will possibly be opportunities to move into more skilled positions within the company that hired you. before companies promote people to higher responsibility jobs with better benefits they will want to get to know you, know your personality, observe if you get along with coworkers, if you are dependable, if you agree with the company's mission statement access your skills ECT... Im my experience one observation that I have made with new comers to is that they are under the impression that their work experience, job title, position/salary/benefits with their former employer will automatically matched by their new employers. Unfortunately, most of the time that is not the case.THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS BUT ARE RARE.One exception that come to my mind are NURSES.Canadian Companies ARE NOT OBLIGATED to match the job title/position/salary/responsibility that you had with the old employer in your home country. This is probably not what you want to hear but remember there is is GOOD NEWS too. The GOOD NEWS is that over time if you prove to be a good worker, get along with other people and have specific talents/skills that the company is looking for you will have the chance to advance. One important things to remember about advancements is that the wait time can seem lengthy because there are other people who started at the company before you who are also looking for advancement. you have to wait your turn as well ( the company does not owe anybody anything). Im am just sharing this information with you so that you will know what to expect and will not be disappointed if you decide to move to NB. I have become friends with a few people who moved to NB from outside of Canada and their employment expectations were not realistic and they were disappointed. I hope that this information is helpful for you to make a decision about if you want to move to New Brunswick or not. Also, remember that the job is just one reason to move here. NB is a safe, low crime province which makes it really good for raising families. Hope that this information is useful to you.
