I am moving to Canada!! 🇨🇦 ❤🎉
Congratulations
Ottawa is also a big high tech hub. I have been working in “Silicon Valley North” since 2000. The telecom boom in late nineties created the foundation for the hub. Very easy to land a job in high tech once you graduate. We have couple of fresh grads in my team.
thanks for your comment! when I graduated in 2016, that was not the case. I studied IT and was not able to find a job 🥲
Do they need Python developer or web developer for remote work?
You jest about manifesting, but I am one of those that manifested my current life in Canada. Moved my boys and myself here a few years ago. I'd lived here previously for school, so only a few things were 'new' to me. So far, so good.
you go girl 💥
Thank you for your hard work. Briefly and to the point. And for the love of Canada, a special big thank you.
University of Waterloo has an interesting co-op study program for its engineering/CS students. Instead of sending interns out just over the holidays (when everyone else does) the Waterloo co-ops go out on rotating fall (Sep-Dec)/winter (Jan-Apr)/spring (May-Aug) co-ops. That means a few years will have classes over the summer, but Waterloo co-ops tend to get better tasks given to them and therefore a better chance to show off their skills. The rotation is also set up so that participating companies have a Waterloo co-op all year. It sounds a little complicated, but it results in them getting better offers. It is a highly competitive school to get into.
its actually easier than a real-life
Thanks Yulia for this amazing info. Love your efforts!!😇
you’re very welcome Satyam!
Thank you so much for such precious information Yulia...love u ... especially for new comers
Great info’s compilation, Yulia! Never thought about Cornwall. Loved the idea!❤
Hello 👋 How are you doing today??
For Winnipeg though, you must warn your viewers that it is VERY VERY COLD in the winter. This coming from a Québecer LOL. It is a very nice city with quaint little cafés and even a French quarter (St-Boniface).
I love the small cities in Canada. Greenwood, the smallest town in all of Canada is one of my favorites. It's too far from everywhere but is wonderful.
I'm moving to Canada
Stony mountain is the smallest town. We have 2k people
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Lethbridge, Alberta
Halifax, Nova Scotia
Edmonton, Alberta
These four cities are just as nice if not better choices. Besides the fact they're not close to Toronto or Montreal, which is a blessing.
synchrotron saskatoon??? we have people from all over the world coming to use it. Maybe is just is unaware of it and the value it has for researchers in many different fields of study.
I went to post-secondary and live in one of those cities and one of my sisters in another. I personally know people (high school classmates) who now live in the other two. I would agree that these four cities are much better in terms of affordability and quality of life for someone who isn't wealthy or upper-middle class than the more famous Canadian cities. Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, etcetera. If money isn't an issue personally Vancouver is my favourite to visit but I doubt I'd live there.
I don't know how true this is overall and I'm sure it's not the case if you're in a university enclave, but I've heard that Quebec, which Montreal is in, is the most prejudiced/racist part of Canada.
The list could have been a top twn a mnd an honerble mention like Cornwall.
1 Ottawa
2 Calgary
3 Winnipeg
4 Kitchener Waterloo Cambridge (Tri City)
5 Edmonton
6 Haxifax
7 Kingston
8 Lethbridge
9 Moncton
10 Saskatoon
and Cornwall as a honerble mention
I am moving to canada
Always amazing video, thank you for your time with us
i'm moving to Canada! omg i can't believe this sentence is not just me manifesting like the tiktok girlies, it is actually true, in December!! thank you so much, Yulia
yeeees! wishing you all the best in Canada 🤍
You can also live in Lévis, QC if you are going to Laval University in Québec. It's my hometown. Not only do we have the best view on Québec City across the river, but it's really affordable and a great place to live. 👍People still can find a 1 BR for 500$ here.
Hey Yulia! Thank you so much for this valuable information 🥰 Loved your channel!
I am coming to Kitchener-Waterloo this Christmas, really excited
Thanks a lot for all the time and advices. Great to hear where could be a good place to raise a child. Thanks again.
thank u, you are one of the few that talks about other cities, Latin people only look for those cities Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal due to lack of information....🤠
Excellent info Yulia, thanks a lot for your contribution! I'm moving to Canadá
I’m actually moving to Canada on the January of 2023 🥰 I’m really excited and i learned so much from this channel about Canada ♥️ thank you Yulia! Wish you still live there so i might be able to meet you someday 😊
thank you so much Namini! I’m glad my channel helped you in your journey 🤍
@@ThisisYulia it really did. Thank you so much! 😊🙏
@@naminijayaratne1411 lets connect i am also moving on jan 23
Me too!
University of Manitoba for me tho
@@emmanuelakpaja hey bro can u tell me how u did it privately
Winnipegger here! Yes winters are quite cold usually, though this year we have had many days above freezing cuz it’s an El Niño. We are also a short 2 hour drive to the Canadian Shield. Rugged cliffs and tons of lakes and forests! Winnipeg is a place where you can still buy a home even if you don’t earn a lot. I love it here because of the great people too. People tend to stay here for the people. And to escape winter we have a large bio dome with tropical plants with a waterfall, Mediterranean biome and butterfly habitat called the leaf
I'm moving back to Canada after 5 years living abroad. This is great information, thank you Yulia
Thank you Yulia! Love your videos
always a pleasure!
I love your videos so much! My entire family watches you 🤗🐣💗
Thank you so much Priscilla 💛
thank u ! контент супер, я уже посмотрела почти все твои видео и сейчас живу в Калгари и твой канал очень помогает и легко слушается и учится английский) Спасибо, мисс Юлия, за такой теплый ютуб-канал 💌
спасииииибо! мне очень приятно, что вам нравится 🤍
Nice list. My family has been in Canada, on the south shore of Georgian Bay in Ontario, since the 1820's and it never stops to thrill me when a newcomer speaks with such enthusiasm and cantor about Canada.
Did you know there are more Ukrainians in Canada than anywhere except Russia and Ukraine? It brings the conflict closer to home. I can hardly imagine how it feels for you. Keep well and keep safe.
Hello 👋 How are you doing today??
Oh! Newcomers should know this piece of information. Thanks for sharing. ❤
My people came to Canada from Ireland in 1795 and homesteaded near Caledon, Ontario.
There are ample of Cons which outweighs Pros when it comes to Study in small cities and neglecting the major ones its extremely challenging extremely for students when its comes to Public Transportation.
@@magdelenacloutier7523Use your little grey cells. Maintaining a second hand motorcycle is very costly for International Students.
This is an interesting video. It reminded me that a few years ago I had a small apartment building in Moncton NB I had a vacancy that I was filling and got an application from a fellow who claimed to be from South Or Central America ( Brazil I think). He wanted the room sight unseen and was arriving the next week. At first I was worried about a scam, but I held the room for him and true to his word he showed up. When he was settled I asked him what had brought him from Brazil to Moncton. He said that he was here to study at the technical school in Engineering which seemed strange to me but he explained that he already had some degrees in Engineering but that they were not in English or French which he explained meant that his qualifications were not considered good enough in some circles. So he said he decided to add to his qualifications at an English school to give himself some better credentials
So of the countries to study in English, Canada seemed the least expensive and in Canada it was a lot cheaper to live in Moncton than Toronto and many of the other major centres in Canada and the Technical College in Moncton offered the courses he was looking for.
So like the video says. If you are studying in Canada you might look at Schools in some of the smaller communities.
Hi! My husband and I moved to Waterloo in 2018 and just LOVE the region!! Unfortunately, it has been getting more and more expensive by the day. Pretty much like everything else in Canada...
Good, then we frame immigrants
@@adaptercrash 🤣🤣
Thank you so much julii so helpful 😇
You're so welcome!
Great info . Thx Julia 🌹🌹
So this great tips from yulia to all of us.. 💘 💘 💘 Thanks lot
Thank you yulia this information bless you
Thank you for this video . I would like to know more about cities around and near vancouver. Can you do another video please .🙏🥰
I am a freelance creative/video director. I do most of my work from a home office/studio (pre-production and post production). Only need to travel to Toronto or Montreal when shooting a specific location for a project. Your video is helping me (and creative friends) decide on working/living in a new affordable area. Used to be based in Toronto, but it is too expensive and full of people chasing the same dream. Crowded and chaotic. Crime is also on the rise, unfortunately. BIG THANK YOU for sharing your video and info.
I think most expensive province is Ontario but if you want to share or find fully independent rental properties Kitchener and waterloo is best with best university!
BC is BY FAR more expensive in general.
Finally, we are moving to Canada!
Thank You Miss Yulia for this wonderful and informative video. Miss Yulia, which province or a city should I prefer more, if i am into the construction industry (A civil engineer).
thanku in advance!!! 😌
Thank u for your video, can you ,or anyone advice me a college, which i can study broadcasting and videography program, i just know about toronto colleges, i need information another provinces.
Yulia. I just stumbled onto your channel. Very informative and intresting. I agree! Canada should not be an expensive place to live! (but it is).
I look forward to more videos from you, Yulia! Dakooyu!
thank you so much and welcome aboard 🙏🏼
@@ThisisYulia I love miss Yulia. Maybe I move to cornwall and I come visit. LIked and subscribed.
Hello Yulia thank you so much for this video, I really love prince Edward island, am moving there very soon ❤️
PEI is my most favorite place ever! I don't live there but would move there in a heart beat. It's so beautiful and just makes me feel happy whenever I visit. You'll love it there!
@@Littleone124 Awesome .
For sure moving to Canada 🇨🇦
Cool .. I’ll have to visit Canada one day
I think Mc master is in Hamilton.
And guelph is also a Cheap city to stay in which is close to kitchener and waterloo
So true! I wish Kingston's (where I live) housing market wasn't so insane. Because I really like it here..
Thank you Julia
my pleasure!
I´m moving to Canada! I´m ready to apply. Loved your videoo
Great video.. just wanted to mention Kitchener also has Oracle another big IT company
Kitchener and Waterloo are more than just neighbours. Even though they are separate cities, there is literally no rural area between them. I have gotten lost in one city's downtown and found myself in the other city's downtown. Beautiful area though.
They were called Berlin and Hamburg back in the day. But changed when the Germans tried to rule the world.
I’m moving to Canada! 🎉
I already live in Canada! My father immigrated and my mother's parents immigrated as well.
Appreciate your efforts 👏👏.
Thank you,
So nice of you!
@@ThisisYulia thank you
I am moving to CANADAAA!!!soooooonnn
Very good information really love your talking style I'm inspired & want to come to Canada & meet with you one day
London Ontario should be on the list girl,it's beautiful
I’ll add it to part 2 🙏🏼
If you're studying engineering (especially chemical or petroleum engineering), I'd highly suggest University of Alberta in Edmonton. Beautiful campus right next to the river valley (the largest urban park in North America), walking distance to all kinds of nightlife, and a top rated program for engineering.
Cost of living here is slightly less than that of Calgary, but it does get a little colder in the winter haha. There are also 3 or 4 more colleges located in the downtown core, as well as a large technical institute and a couple of Christian universities.
It's very much a college city.
How is the crime rate there ? is this safe place to live? how about calgary ?
@@SubhaForever21 Both Edmonton and Calgary are quite safe, though Calgary does have a slightly lower crime rate.
The area around the University of alberta is VERY safe, but it's also one of the more expensive areas in Edmonton. Downtown Edmonton has some issues with homelessness and property crime, but it's mainly concentrated on the Eastern edge of downtown - the areas west of downtown like Oliver and Grandin are quite nice and safe.
The university area in calgary is kind of ugly and boring in my opinion, but there's not much crime to speak of. Downtown calgary is only a 15 minute train ride from the University, but it does have some issues with homelessness and crime. Not quite as much as downtown Edmonton though.
God willing, I’m going to Canada. ❤🙏🏽
I'm moving to Canada on November.
Hope we can meet in Toronto
the way youv'e talked about cornwal makes me wanna move there
I’m moving to Canada!!
I’m moving to Canada next year!
I am moving to Canada and thanks for the insights.
Best of luck!
I'll move to Canada next year 💪🏻
*happy dance* 🥳🥳🥳
I love your content and I’m definitely sharing it more to my African community…
I AM MOVING TO CANADA!!!!!!!!!!
YEAH!! I CAN DO IT!!!!
LESSGOOO.....!!
Where to?
hi Yulia, thanks for your video. My husband is working as a software engineer
will Vancouver, Toronto and Waterloo you mentioned in this vedio be good choice with more job opportunities when we go there?
i am a little afraid of racism, so all the time Vancouver is our first choice with large Chinese population there, but the high life expense is a problem
hey Winnie, I think Vancouver or Toronto should be perfect for a software engineer. many companies are hiring remotely, so worst case your husband can find a remote position 👌🏼
Very helpful video.
Hamilton, Ontario is the best place to go to school. It has cheap rent and McMaster University is the best University in Canada. It also has a great college, Mohawk College.
I'm moving to Canada!!!!
I'm coming to Canada!!!
yay 🥳🥳
Thank for sharing
I am moving to Canada!🍁
I'm moving to Canada! 😍
Halifax definitely belongs on this list! Several universities! The Atlantic Ocean!
Totally agree! I'll put it into my part 2 🤫
But not all that affordable, and with a terrible health system.
Yes!! Was so disappointed not to see anything in Atlantic Canada. Halifax definitely belongs in the top 5!
I´m moving to Canada with my family this december, Vancouver is the chosen city. Pls wish us luck Yulia! ; )
best of luck 🔥
I've lived here for the majority of my life and although it's far more expensive than it used to be (from the winter Olympics in 2010 on especially!) - it is by far the most beautiful city in Canada with the most temperate climate.... Although yes it does rain a fair bit from November till about march. But hey you're living in a rain forest! Lol. So if you can live somewhere and avoid having a car to commute you'll save a fair bit of money and headaches with traffic. But most of your money will go towards accommodations. I would say throw the '40% of your income towards a residence ' out the window. It can be a struggle, but if you have a good job lined up, and you're smart with your finances and know how to scrimp and be smart, it still is a great place to be! But be warned, it is still one of the most expensive cities on the planet, especially compared to what you'll (likely) earn. I hope it all goes well for you
I m moving to Canada..... thankyou for such great videos
I'm moving to Canada! 🇨🇦🙌🏻
This is really helpful in making a decision. Will research more on Kitchener
yaay Canadaaa!!
My biggest concern is job opportunities can you do a video on that for students and new comers?
I hope to move to Canada 🇨🇦 one day and I love your videos
thank you Maxwell!
Please can you do a video about vaughan-ontario?
I'm moving to Canada! 🤍
Canada sound like a great idea❤
Im moving to Canada!!!
“I am moving to Canada!”love from India 🇮🇳 Mumbai ❤️
Hi, am moving to Winnipeg this December with my family for TWP
Québec City is beautiful and big enough to feel like you're in a substantial city. Of course, it isn't Montréal, and speaking French would be pretty necessary to really enjoy the city to the same extent as you would living in English in the rest of Canada.
I agree but as someone who’s been through Quebec immigration, I always say stay away from QC until you get your PR 🥴
@@ThisisYulia Oh, sure, easier process to get PR outside of Québec.
I'm moving to Canada!
As a Canadian, not sure i could recommend coming here with cost of living sky rocketing. Some really nice Maritime cities were missed but good job. Maritimes often overlooked
Calgary is absolutely right. I was shock by how affordable the houses here compared to Toronto.
Problem with Calgary is that it's filled with folks from Texas and Oklahoma and those who wish they were. Horrible city.
KWC is no longer less expensive than GTA.
The prices here has increased significantly in terms of rents. Things have gone crazy if I might add.
Very nice video 👍 and information 👍
Many many thanks!
How much would you say is an average expense for students in Toronto for groceries per month without including rent and travel expense
I'd say $1,500 + rent & bus pass 🚌
Planning to study in Canada next year, particularly in Alberta, sadly most of the colleges there don't offer what i want , guess Ottawa might do it for me
Ottawa is great for studying and you can always move to AB after you graduate 🤩
What are you planning to study? Between U of Calgary, U of Alberta in Edmonton, U of Lethbridge, NAIT, SAIT, Mount Royal U, Concordia College, U of Athabasca and MacEwan University in Edmonton I thought Alberta covered almost everything in education. And U of Alberta in Edmonton is getting quite the reputation as an elite educational institution in Canada. It’s no Harvard or Stanford but is well respected.
Good information
I’m moving to Canada 🎉
I'm going to Canada!
