- Hi guys,
In this video, I discuss what it's like living in Alberta. I list out the benefits of the province of Alberta with regards to the standard of living, cost of living in Alberta, taxes, employment in Alberta, transportation in Alberta, and some other factors to consider when moving to Alberta.
I compare and contrast Edmonton Vs Calgary. I hope this will help you decide to move to Alberta and what city you would prefer.

Calgary is great to visit, but Edmonton is where we live and work, raise our families, and establish life long friendships. It's where we come home to.
I will be moving to Edmonton with my family. Please can you assist with me accommodation. I need contact of a reliable house agent.
In the three years pre-Covid, North American Construction moved from Calgary to Edmonton; Aurora Cannabis moved from Vancouver to Edmonton; Flair Airlines also moved from B.C. to Edmonton; Google Deep Mind (AI) opened it's first office outside London in Edmonton; Improbable Worlds (gaming) (another Google affiliated company) also opened its (now) largest office outside London in Edmonton; three Chinese companies (E.H. Logistics, WeFaces, Lightbox) have opened their sole North American bases in Edmonton, and Edmonton based Stantec Engineering took over MWH, thus becoming the 7th largest engineering/design company in the World. All of those companies chose Edmonton ahead of Calgary and Vancouver.
Edmonton leads Canada in engineering, nanotechnology, AI, and cannabis, the latter three among the most important growth industries, and is ahead of both Calgary and Vancouver in all tech not related to O&G or visuals production. Edmonton is also ahead of Calgary in tourism and has the all the top 4 Alberta based financial institutions' headquarters.
Since 2012, Edmonton has been the fastest growing CMA in Canada, and since 2015 the Edmonton CMA has had both the highest GDP per capita and the highest disposable income in Canada.
Calgary has the fossil fuels industry and is the last top-ten city in Canada that votes right wing.
Plus with lower home prices and cheap short flights from Edmonton , you can spend your weekends in Vancouver or elsewhere if you want and probably have more money in the end.
North America Construction moved back to Edmonton as it was started here.
Home is what you make it. Your life choices, and decisions will contribute to how well you like your surroundings. Both cities have their pros and cos.
Thank you SO much. I really appreciate how thorough this was! Fabulous job and once again, thank you.
Good to see a video that says positive things about Alberta. I live in Calgary so I can attest to most of things you said in this video. I plan to do videos to share my experiences as a new immigrant to Canada, I believe people need to be well informed before moving to Canada. Thanks for sharing.
I am glad that you agree too. Make sure you share a link of your video in Calgary. Since you live there, you would have more unique experiences to share. All the best
@@abysworld Sure, I'll. Thanks a lot 🙂
Excellent video and very informative. Full of practical advice and tips. Hope to see more videos like this! Thank you for doing the research for me.
Anytime.
Moved here from Calgary and couldn't agree more. Subscribed too, keep it up - Thank you!!!❤
Thanks a lot for your support
@@abysworld where should i choose ? edmonton or calgary ?
@@HuongNguyen-em6sd Edmonton. The only culture in Calgary is fake cowboys who think living in a city of 1 million people makes you a cowboy.
This was really well done and informative!
I was glued to your smile. Listening to you for ages would be an adorable affair. Gr8 content, Edmonton it is! Jhaq from Montreal.
Well done Aby, thanks for doing this. Wishing you Merry Christmas.
Thanks dear. Merry Christmas to you too. 🙂
@@abysworld wow, your accent is gorgeous. Where are you from?
You made me fall in love with Edmonton already.
Thanks for this video
Thanks for watching
Don’t come here without visiting first...second of all it really is boring here and sucks shit
Aby I love, love, love your hair....Thanks so much for the Canadian Citizenship information, I'm making use of it. You are the best!
You are welcome 🙂
Thank you for sharing! I love this
Any outdoor enthusiasts Calgary is a must. Winters are much less harsh l. That’s what’s kept me here for 9 years. Great video!
Outdoor enthusiasts are at home in Edmonton too tho. The river valley is wonderful for hiking, ice skating trails, cross country ski. Edmonton As 4 ski resorts within the city limits alone. Amazing mountain biking trails, and kayaking and canoeing opportunities no more than a 10-minute drive from any home in the city. Apart from the chinooks, average temperature differences in the winter are often inconsequential! I love Calgary too tho.
I'm sure you have been the reason others stayed
Very sweet comparison between Calgary and Edmonton. Your presentation is really good.
Thank you :)
Enjoyed this thoroughly. New Sub!
Good job, I'm packing to Edmonton now! haha! Thanks for sharing
Did u successfully move to Edmonton 😂
It’s really helpful, I really enjoyed the video!
Glad it was helpful!
My love for Abby though. Such a stunner. Intelligent and well spoken. You inspire me girl!
Hahahaha.. Thanks hun
@@abysworld Hello Aby how are you I got a question is Alberta Canada more laid back then Ontario
Very informative! you look great too, well done!
Thanks darling
Amazing video! thanks for the info
Glad it was helpful!
look look stunning!! , great content as usual
Thanks darling
Loved this video. Thanks
Many of the comments I see here bash Edmonton, but I don't see much in the way of bashing Calgary. Most people see Edmonton as the under dog city to Calgary and this is true in some respects, but it is not that simple. When it comes to weather, there are advantages and drawbacks to both cities. Calgary does get more frequent and pronounced Chinooks than Edmonton, but we regularly see the tail end of them. Calgary sees some nasty hailstorms in summer that completely miss Edmonton. Calgary may be close to the mountains, but Banff is a write off if you want peace and quiet and not too many crowds in the mountains. Banff is gorgeous, but who wants to ski there, when it's parked down to the Trans-Canada or Lake Louise is only accessible by shuttle in summer? Jasper is not 5 hours from Edmonton, under good weather and traffic, it's 3 1/2 - 4 hours. I would rather do that drive and have breathing room on the trails and ski slopes. Edmonton might be boring compared to some bigger cities, but when it's not pandemic times, we have one festival after another, many concerts and sports events. Calgary may have better public transit and a better road/freeway system overall, but they paved over large sections of their river valleys. Edmonton had the foresight to not destroy its river valley and we ended up with the largest urban park system in North America. Edmonton is not the most glamorous city, but people do not know or overlook the positive aspects. Calgary may be internationally ranked higher in measurements such as corporate head offices and design of the road system, but it is not that simple. One city is not better than the other, they are different with different pros and cons in each one. Saying either city is superior to the other is a point of view and not a fact.
I deeply like your conclusion. I guess living in both cities for several years is the best way to learn which city suits one's need better.
Both cities suck edmonton fared a little better when it comes to jobs. Both cities are too cold. If you want a better weather better jobs move to america
@@teekbooy4467 Thank you so much for giving the useful suggestion. I appreciate it. I am at the beginning stage of looking for a good place. Your idea reminds me Canada is only one of the possibilities and I should look for a larger spectrum.
@@teekbooy4467 Edmonton and Calgary are on the smaller end of the big city spectrum each with about 1.5 million people. If you want lots more urban action and culture, you can choose a bigger city. That has its downside, since cities with 5 million or more people tend to have abysmal traffic and pollution. As for weather, both cities experience differing levels of brutal winters. The upside is that Edmonton and Calgary have summers that average between 20 - 25C (70 - 80F) and you aren't roasting to death, unlike summers farther south. Most of America might have a better economy than Alberta's failing oil economy, but good luck paying for your health care insurance in the USA if you are of modest means. In the end, you have to evaluate a broader range of factors to determine which place better suits your lifestyle, preferences and finances.
@@yingju8217 Thanks. Certainly, the best way to evaluate each city is to look at a broad range of facts for both and consider what you prefer. People often jump to bias and don't look at the greater picture.
Great video 👍👍 also looking good .
Thanks 😊
Hi You almost reverse my previous view regarding moving to Calgary. I like your video because it has details. Could you share more info about school for young child and teenagers between Edmonton and Calgary. Thank you.
Schooling in both cities are quite similar. We have a good education system here in Edmonton.
Very informative video, wonderful 🙂
Glad you think so!
I'd be more suited in Edmonton as i am qualified artisan in the engineering sector..Thank you sis this was very helpful
Great job aby👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you
New subscriber here
Welcome and thanks for subbing!
Rad was also filmed in Calgary. Need I say more? Bowness Park. What a beauty... 🙌
Banff is about 45 minutes from Calgary, if you're drving 160 kms an hour! Give yourself 90 minutes from downtown Calgary to Banff Avenue, in Banff!
Have you been on the #1? That's about what people drive.
Lol... I stand corrected. Please drive safe guys ;)
I really want to visit Banff this summer though I know no one there. Get an airbnb for 2 nights.
New subscriber💃💃 Looking forward to staying in Edmonton soon by the grace of God.
Same here, I live in Calgary before, so let's see
Don’t do it lol. I live here. It’s wack.
@@tuneunleashed lol @ wack..... you really don't like it here eh!
Thanks for subbing!
@@tuneunleashed You're wack.
Beautiful content. Subscribed and shared
Awesome, thank you!
This video is so helpful and so amazing! I thank you so much for putting together such good, substantive information for us considering migrating to Canada. Thank you!
What Kae said. Thanks for doing what you do.
THX alot fr im def moving here
For me I have always love 💕 E-Town over cow-town even though I now live in Calgary but my heart 💜 is Edmonton
I do appreciate the way you say "we have this and that" in reference to what exists in Alberta. Indeed you've been welcomed to the point, you don't see yourself as an outsider/immigrant. Thanks for another informative video.
yup once you live here you get to be a Canadian and you're one of us. simple as that lol
Agreed.
I have indeed been welcomed and I consider Alberta home 🙂. Thanks a lot for always watching and commenting.
Great Job!
trouble with the parks west of Calgary is they are so crowded. U can't get a camping spot
Really enjoyed this video
Glad you enjoyed it
Love Edmonton.... nowhere else I'd rather be.
I studied urban and regional planning, i wnt to go into Masters in environmental management, I think I prefer Edmonton
Alberta has the best infrastructure in canada , maybe not the best weather but it a great place to have a life
Agreed. The weather is the biggest con
@@abysworld u married
That’s a lie ..You obviously haven’t travel through the other pronvinces
@@shessofly3024 not only have i traveled to other provinces , I've lived in 4 of them now for a a while in each , 4 years in Ontario, 2 in bc , 7 months in Saskatchewan and now 12 years n alberta , I just moved back
@@shessofly3024 Definitely not a lie. Alberta is the place where you want to make money. It’s the best province to live to be honest. The only problem is the weather which is inconsistent.
Hello,Aby. Hope you're okay? I haven't seen your videos for four months now. Are you still in the US? I really enjoyed your videos.
Is these two cities (Edmonton & Calgary) are really affordable to live and settle down in for sure. I would love to live in one of those cities plus I love the beautiful mountains landscape. I also heard Montreal is very affordable as well. BTW you kind of look like actresses and singer Zoe Saldana and D Woods(from the music group Danity Kane) 😀!
Montreal is very nice with a lot of diversity but I don’t think you want to deal with the Québécoise if you don’t speak French don’t come here and the facts that they openly racist
Thank you Aby! ☺☺☺
You are so welcome!
Thanks for the video
Ok interesting thank you for video 👍✌️😃
Can you please 🙏🙏 help me which city is the best to live Calgary and Edmonton
As an Edmontonian, I appreciate the City. On a personal opinion, I prefer Calgary. The driver's, the scenic beauty, the history. Alberta is beautiful in general. I am neither an Oilers or a Flames fan so I avoid some hatred there. 🤣
At the end she said “Make sure to do your research and decide where you would like to move to”
Me: But sweetie, You are my research:(
Lol!! Super nice content, Appreciate it, Keep up the good work 🤝
The majority of food bought in groceries stores is not taxable, in all provinces! Groceries in Vancouver are close to the same price as they would be in Alberta!
Yeah, but they're not.
thank you for this. i have been here (Edmonton) for almost 3 years and i can say this is very insightful. learned something new..thank you
Love this lady! She's a promoter of Alberta but she's also a fan and citizen of Edmonton! The Calgary/Edmonton rivalry continues! Not just in sports but in many other ways! It's A great diversified province with two great cities! I'm an Edmontonian and I pick Edmonton!
Hey I'm confused between Edmonton and Toronto. I want to study in Canada. In first I decided that I'll choose any college in Toronto. But then my relatives told me to choose Alberta. And now I get to know that Norqest college is available for me for September intake. But I was thinking to go to Calgary in Bow valley College. But it's seats are booked. So I wanna know that is I'm able to get good education and employment opportunities in Edmonton related to medical field
@@komaldeep8648 Toronto is way better to be an student edmonton its great but it might be boring if u are young
@@Silly_comb ok thank you
@@komaldeep8648 I think Edmonton would be the better pick as Public Transportation, Cost of living (including housing) is significantly cheaper in Edmonton. Also consider distances as commuting is extremely slow and tiring in Toronto due to local conditions such as traffic and construction/congestion. The colleges in Edmonton are also great! Overall I would say that Edmonton would be the better choice.
@@komaldeep8648 Also consider that Edmonton is very close to Calgary! Lots of people say Edmonton is “boring” but that is simply *not* true as the community is fantastic and especially in the summer there are LOTS of festivals that you can experience!! West Edmonton Mall also has fantastic things to experience.
Love Edmonton! I wish I could move there :)
Am a new subscriber please for civil engineer which city will u advice a new immigrant, Calgary or Edmonton
Thank you! =)
I am sold on Edmonton but being from the Caribbean Calvary sounds convincing with the snook.
Hello Aby how's the jobs in Edmonton now that we have pandemic? Are there lots of layoffs.
I am looking to go back to Alberta but this time in Edmonton, used to live in Calgary. Hope you can answer, thanks for your time.
I guess it depends on your field. My coz just moved to Edmonton and she's recently had 2 job offers in the last couple of months.
@@abysworld what industry does she work in?
I currently applying for a course in international business management. Between both cities which of them have a better job offer? Also for someone who has a health condition what do you advise?
NICE CONTENT.✌🏽
Interior designer have more scope in which province of Alberta Edmonton or Calgary
Thanks for all ...
Love Alberta seriously the best province in Canada. I live in Toronto now I feel like the life is being sucked out of me with the cost of living here. Don't get anything different than in Alberta anyway strongly considering moving back.
Rogers Place 18,000 not the largest in the Country, only in Alberta. Scotia Bank Arena Toronto 1900+ and Rogers Centre (Skydome) in Toronto 56,000+.
Both cities are better than Toronto and Vancouver when it comes to quality of life so I guess the secret is out because both cities are having booms just like in the U.S. with everyone leaving LA and NYC for cooler and more affordable cities like Austin and Nashville.
Think people miss out on the extra 5% income tax up to 120k compared to Ontario . Don't get you on sales tax but they get you more on the income tax
Good Info
Thanks 😊
I'm totally confused. I am 34 have 2 children and I consider to move there in February. Worked as a professional kitchen supply manufacturer(our firm) ( graduated as Aircraft construction engineer). We'll go to Alberta 100% but I'm not sure where to go
It is cheaper in Edmonton for housing and gasoline. If you're not a corporate hawk with abundance in pay, You might want to choose Edmonton. That said, both cities are good.
I am an Albertan and edmontonian. I love in the capitol city for 65rears. Those that tell you anything? I love my hometown hands down.
I only live in Calgary because my whole family is here. I don't see the point of moving to a different City at the moment. I think Edmonton & Calgary is very similar. We went to the Edmonton Chinatown years before the pandemic. The Chinatown in Edmonton is way more spread out & way more dead than Calgarys.
I agree that Edmonton's chinatown is like a dead zone. That area has been the zone for drug users and some petty criminals. I like Calgary's chinatown. Small and right in the middle of the city but very nice.
Is Calgary and Edmonton close? How many hours drive?
I love Alberta
The oil industry in Alberta has fallen and a lot of Albertians have moved to BC or went back to school to learn new skills.
Candian oil is more expensive to produce. It is very dense and need longer processing before it can be used.
🤩
Most of the festivals are in both cities. They preform in one and then pack up and move to the other. For example I think the same bands play both Folk Fests.
Calgary has Sled Island exclusively, I think.
Nice comparison! Thank you.
That is EXACTLY CORRECT!!
Could you put me through immigrating to Alberta Canada via a masters program...need help
I love this place
I am considering moving to Edmonton.
As a prospective international law student, what are my opportunities in Calgary? Do you think it will be in my favour? Because I'm moving in soon.
Edmonton has the better law school, the University of Alberta
You can apply for greencard after you graduate
Edmonton looks like a giant Forest Lawn.
You forgot big Augdin. : )
Lmao
You really did not compare both Cities. You should've just talked about Edmonton and that's it. Calgary has a lot more job opportunities than Edmonton, which is the basis for someone to consider one City over another one. Similarly, new graduates have lower barriers to entry into the labour force than Edmonton based of Alberta Labour Department. Calgary has lots of activities during summer time but most Calgarians will trip outside the City for winter adventures just like Edmontonians do. So when you weight all in, Calgary is by far a better and more resilient City than Edmonton. .. and yes, I am a proud Calgarian who had lived in Edmonton for few years.
I can understand the loyalty to Calgary. And to be honest I prefer Calgary too. But due to crude oil crash, the job market in Calgary is way worse that that in Edmonton. Calgary is also a little more expensive that Edmonton e.tc. I am sure I must have embellished Edmonton more just because I live there, but I did try my best to compare the cities. That being said, I wish I lived in Calgary as opposed to Edmonton so lucky you.
is the why all Calgary's office towers are near empty?
@@wrightbrent73 not related specifically to Calgary though. Alberta competitiveness as a whole is lower and have suffered over the past 8 years so other jurisdictions look more attractive than Alberta and therefore, Companies chose to relocate. Calgary just happens to have more HQs than Edmonton so it’s more notorious.
@@wrightbrent73 yap
@@wrightbrent73 cheaper options...NE SE office spaces
For people who love gardening, Edmonton has a longer growing season than Calgary as it is at a lower elevation.
Yeah 8 days longer. That’s barely anything. I’d trade the 8 days for the warmer winters. I lived in both cities and Edmonton is freakin frigid!

Hello thanks for the video.
I was wondering if you can help me with a question. I am looking to relocate to Alberta this year. I work in the health industry in my home country, but should I not get a job straight away I am willing to take on other jobs. So my question is $50000 per year is a good salary for a single and young person to live in Alberta for the first 6months/1 year?. I know the question is a bit vague as it depends on the person but just wanted to know if i will be able to at least cover most cost during my first few months in Alberta if i am to take on other jobs.
Calgary is better than Edmonton.. to me it does have a very blue collar vibe … go Calgary 👑😎❤️🙏🏽
Please I’m moving to Canada for work and school which shud I move too
Depends on where you get admission into school.
Which is preferable
Calgary or Edmonton. Alberta is the place to be in this country.
Edmonton Realtor here! You were pretty objective but perhaps only one thing that I noticed. The concept of Edmonton being more 'blue collar' is like getting a nickname in highschool, and still getting called that as an adult even though it no longer relevant to you at all! Edmonton has a growing tech centre, and I would say much more hipster than blue-collar.
You are right that Edmonton has a growing tech centre and that it is less of a blue collar city than it was previously. But when compared to other cities and especially in my admittedly limited (5 year) experience, I still find it a very blue collar city.
To be honest as software engineer, Edmonton still has a lot to be desired when it comes to tech, Calgary is more welcoming Aby’s World is right.
Good job mam if possible please upload with subtitles
Any construction opportunities in Alberta?
Thanks
Tons. My husband is a carpenter by trade and many of my clients are trades people. The unfortunate thing for employers is that there are often so many opportunities that highly skilled people with good work can quit a job Thursday and likely have something lined up for monday. -Edmonton Realtor
Aby,hope you're good? I miss your videos 😭😘
I will come to canada as international student. Can Edmonton is best for me regarding education and job
In terms of Education they’re both good but Edmonton has a slight edge but in terms of metropolis city feeling Calgary
👍🏻🙏🏻💐
Thanks
How fast do you have to go to get to Banff in 45 mins
Crazy fast. Not recommended.... Lol.... my bad it more like 90 mins
Hola, gracias por tu información. Y espero en agosto de este año ir Calgary con mi familia (esposa, niño y niña)... Mi esposa empieza a estudiar y yo a trabajar...

@@gp7910 Who cares what you think. Greetings from Calgary!
I use to leave in Edmonton for 23 years now I leave in Calgary for the lost 13 year I agree with everything she said. My experience is that people in Edmonton are more friendly and services are better. People in Calgary are more to them selfs not very helpful. They feel they are upper class with more money. And their for thy think there better then people from Edmonton.
That is the corporate sector, but now it is dead.
