Why are you so freaking helpful. This channel is everything for me, I'm looking to move to Ottawa next year. Thank you so much for what you do.
Thank you Gloriaw!!
I'm going to Ottawa in the next months and these videos are really helping me to plan ahead :) Congrats for these really good videos.
Good stuff Andreas! Welcome to Ottawa!
I have lived in Kanata for 20 years and raised my two kids here. Love it.
Kanata is great! We are shooting videos there next week!
@Mukta Gaur Sounds great Mukta. Let us know if you need anything - you can reach out to us at info@homefrontcanada.ca
Kanata is beautiful!
Which are the communities where Indians prefer to live?

Loving the videos! Thank you for doing that. Subscribed!!
Thanks Guitar Elevation! Much appreciated! By the way, just saw some of your videos - mad guitar skills! You are talented!!
Great video. Thanks!
I went to Ottawa in February 2022. It was rather festive, with BBQs and bouncy castles for the kids!
Hey @cheaze69, thanks for sharing your experience! Visiting Ottawa in February is truly a special treat, isn't it? The city really comes alive with winter celebrations. BBQs in the snow and bouncy castles for the kids are just a few of the ways we embrace the colder months here. It's all about community and making the most of every season. If you're thinking of coming back or have any questions about other events and attractions in Ottawa throughout the year, feel free to ask
@LivingInOttawa it was great until Trudeau called the Mounties and kicked us out!! Kick Trudeau out and ask the truckers to make it an annual event and people will come back!!
Thanks for you video
From Colombia ❤
Welcome from Ottawa Canada! I helped a wonderful family relocate from Columbia about 3 years ago. Great people!
Oh now I can see the pattern here! Spelling it as "Quite" is a bait for comments, so the video benefits more by the algorithms.
If that was by design I would be a genius. Honest typo and TH-cam being TH-cam I can’t go back and change it without taking whole video down. But it is getting people talking
Very informative and detailed. Considering moving there next year. Subscribed.
Lionel, reach out if you need anything. Here to help.
Don’t move here lol 😂
You are a great person. Thanks for this video. My wife an I are moving to canada latest December this year.
We don't where where to settle but this video and your previous video on budgets in Canada helped a lot. Thank you so much.
Please we need help on the best accommodative and on the budget place in Ottawa can you help.
Thank you Frankie. Much appreciated. Feel free to email me at admin@living-inottawa.ca.
The information you gave in this video is a gem for me! Thank you for your efforts! I will be joining uOttawa as a PostDoc early next year and was worried about the rents in Sandy Hill area. Now, since the city is laid out efficiently and there seems to be a good transportation network, I will look for cheaper places - perhaps more near to the nature - which are also affordable!
The Rideau valley authority prevented one of my clients from building their dream home. Arrogant Treatment of good citizens for no reason! They owned the property for decades, had a trailer on it no problem. The water level never went that high but we designed a basement to a water flow code in place!
🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
Awesome video
Thank you Connie!
Can you make a video about all high tech companies such as: what they do? How office environments look like?
Thank you so much. This is great. Lets connect so that I can work with you in future.
Hi Amol. Contact information is in the video description. Reach out with any questions.
Good video 📹 pal
Thank you Jamie!!
Your welcome Pal
Hey Peter, tks for the content, it is very helpful!!
I am considering moving from Poland to Ottawa at the end of this year.
My wife will be a PhD student at Ottawa Univ and I will need to find a job. So we will come on a budget.
Knowing the high cost of living in the city, where would you thing to be the best cost-benefit neighbourhood?
Maybe is better to be downtown and avoid cost with transportation? or better to pay less in the suburbs and commute to public transport? or maybe gas+parking?
Would really love your input on that.
Tks, bless you
Kaleb, thanks for the support and comments. It depends - will you be buying or renting? If buying smaller towns offer easy commute times to the city but are still affordable. If renting and want to be closer to the university there are a few pockets that would work nicely. Feel free to send me an email and I can share further details. You can email me at info@homefrontcanada.ca. Happy to help! Do widzenia!
Thanks for the great and informative videos. My wife and I might be moving to Ottawa, can u help us to find accommodation there? Near uOttawa or easy to commute.
Hello Mohammad. Happy to help. In the video my contact information is in the notes section - feel free to reach out and our team can help your relocation be smooth. All the best.
Super helpful thank you!!
Our pleasure Christina!
Fun fact: Toronto is 1h away from Toronto!
Great videos friend !!!!! Muy bien !!!
Thank you Fabiola!
You mentioned artists in Altamonte. The home prices look very high. Where would you recommend for emerging landscape artists on a budget? Any areas closer in to the Ottawa River such as Vanier, Gloucester, and Orleans...or maybe down by Brittania Bay? Not focused on raising a family. More interested in easy access to bike trails, nature, cafes, galleries, and so forth. This is a wish list. :) Or should I just aim to move to Renfrew as Patrick Mills did?
Almonte has a variety of visual artists for sure - if Almonte is too much you can always explore Carleton Place or Arnprior even Pakenham or White Lake area as they are in close proximity and a little easier on the budget. Still allows you to travel throughout the Ottawa Valley connecting with other art communities.
@@LivingInOttawa Wow - can't believe you replied to my question! Appreciate all your suggestions and will check them them out. Thank you very much.
@@djw8888 My pleasure! Best.
Hey, what do you think of the neighbourhoud of Barrhaven , any fun things to do??
Barrhaven is a great suburb in Ottawa. Great for families and working professionals. They are creating a central business area to provide more work / life balance based on the City of Ottawa's 15 neighbourhood vision. In the area you can shop, golf, nature trails, dine out, etc. But Ottawa is not a overly large city so you can easily have Barrhaven as your base of operation and take in all Ottawa has to offer while living there or staying there depending on your situation.
It was very informative video...thanks
Thank you for watching!
The information is very useful and helpfully!🤝
Looking forward to move to Ottawa soon as posible 👍
Glad you find it useful - it feels good to help others!
@@InternacionalCalahorra Ottawa would be happy to have you!
@@LivingInOttawa if you could help me further i will be glad!😊🤝
@@InternacionalCalahorra Absolutely. Email me at info@homefrontcanada.ca and we can schedule a time to connect to discuss further. Best.
Loving the videos! Thank you for these insightful videos. My dream is to relocate to Canada and reside in Ottawa, Ontario Province from Kenya. Kindly recommend, some free visa sponsorship jobs websites in Humanitarian Work or United Nations Volunteers opportunities(UNV). Which is the best University to study Masters Degree in International Development Studies/ Subscribed! keep up the good work.
Thank you. I wish I could make those knd of recommendations but I am unaware of any. Apologies I could not be more helpful.
Moving to Ottawa in August, these videos are really helpful. Thanks!
Question: Is the Altavista area really bad? We're looking at a flat on Heron road near Bank Street. Should we stay away? Thanks again
Hello Arlette! Happy to help. Alta Vista is a great area - first established as a smaller neighbourhood in the 50' and 60' it is now a popular spot for families and working professionals. Hosing prices have increased significantly in the area as it is popular with it's location to key areas in the city. The area just South of Walkley near Herongate is a separate neighbourhood all together. Reach out to us if you need anything.
@@LivingInOttawa Thank you very much, will do!
Alta Vista is a beautiful area, with great amenities close by. Good luck with the move!
The house in Ottawa very expensive now, and quite crazy, the agent can sell the house over prices from 300K up to 700K and may be more, the buyer from Toronto or some where else out side Canada, they even pay off by cash, the peoples who live in Ottawa with minimum income can not get pre-approval mortgage from Bank they can not afford to purchase the house for 300K, also middle of Covid Pandemic, no jobs , Hi-tech slow down, How and what happen to Ottawa? it very crazy, hope the market not crackdown, if it does some one will lose a lot of moneys to investment in real estate of Ottawa.
You're wonderful 👏 💛 🏆
You are awesome as well!!
Is bayshore a gd area to raise a family ?
Thinking of moving from Toronto to Ottawa!
I heard that Vanier is an area to avoid.
@@danielz6436 Hi Daniel. Parts of Vanier would be best avoided. Other areas offer great value and then others are changing quickly. It's a big area and we will be covering this in a future video - might need to split into a Part 1 and Part 2 as there is a lot to cover.
Hi, is ellwood good neighbourhood to raise a family with young kids and teen agers. Are schools good there? I live in Toronto. Thinking of moving there in future.
Hi Fatema. Ellwood borders on three different neighbourhoods of Ridgemont, Alta Vista, Riverside Park among some other industrial areas. It is near Ridgemont which is an older established neighbourhood. Mix of renters and home owners. It's also a mix of residential and industrial. With access to public transit. The area to the East of Ellwood is Riverside Park which is more residential less rental and less industrial. As it borders on various neighbourhoods it is difficult to gauge the exact stats on crime and education but it is a relatively safe neighbourhood but certainly on par with the average crime rates and education - not below it like the suburbs provide and certainly better then same of the rougher spots. Is there a specific neighbourhood you are interested in that I can pull data for you?
Hey I’ve been planning to move to Ottawa from India as an international student but I’ve got some questions and you seem like the best person to ask out there.... Soo
Q1. Which institution has the best reputation to get better job prospects among University of Ottawa, Algonquin College etc?
Q2. Does French play a major role in landing a job (part time or full time)?
Q3. As Ottawa is the capital of Canada and the biggest employer is probably the government, is it hard for non-canadians to land a government job? I’ve heard they prefer Canadians first and that may become a huge problem in landing a job
Hello Swastik. Happy to help in anyway.
Q1: it depends on which career you want to end up in. For example, if journalism or Engineering is something you aspire to than Carleton University offers one of the best programs out there. If Law is more focus, University of Ottawa offers one of the largest schools/programs in the Country. If trades, multimedia or social media than it's hard to beat Algonquin College offering. Some take focus on a degree in one area and compliment with additional training from another institution. It all depends on where you want to end up
Q2: French can influence your decision making. If you are looking for permanent position in Government of Canada as you move up the ladder into management French will be required but there are other senior positions in different industries/verticals that being bilingual is an asset but not a requirement
Q3: I am unsure of this one - I would defer this question to one of my trusted experts. I would suggest reaching out to YMCA Youth Employment Centre as they have extensive contacts and resources in the immigration field. You can reach out to them at eac.argyle@ymcaywca.ca
I hope this helps. All the best on the potential relocation and we are here to help if looking to purchase a property in Ottawa or across Canada.
Best.
Living in Ottawa Wow thank you for the response it means a lot and i am looking forward to do programming (Computer Science). It’s a back end job and I doubt french would be a requirement until i know my computer languages good. Just needed advice which institution to choose to pursue it and what would be the rate of rooms around it (I’d be looking for individual room). Sites like kijiji.com said around $400-600 but i just wanted to be sure.
Thanks a lot
@@swastiksharma2869 my pleasure! For computer programming French will not be a requirement. Algonquin (from my understanding) does offer a strong program in computer languages and the tuition is a little more competitive than the universities. As for room rentals this is a growing trend as rents continue to rise in Ottawa. We are seeing $600-$900 for room rentals across the city. Best of luck!
Living in Ottawa Thank you so much man! Very helpful!
Swastik Sharma absolutely! Best!
great video however i didnt really hear you talk much about Nepean ..how come?
Hi Ashlyn. Thanks for the comment. Funny you mention that - I grew up in Nepean and it holds a special place in my heart! We will be going deep into each neighbourhood in Nepean. I think I skipped a few parts of the city as I needed to keep the video short without putting anyone to sleep. :) Make sure to stay tuned for future videos. Speaking of which is there an area of Nepean you would like me to focus on?
@@LivingInOttawa My family and I are moving to ottawa from the Bahamas and my sister lives in Nepean so I'm just interested on living near her period. Anywhere close to Baseline. Thanks for your response looking forward to the new videos.
@@ashlynpelecanos5869 Hello Ashlyn! I would suggest starting your search journey through our tailored specific property search tool. I can certainly send matching properties to you. Feel free to send me an email to info@homefrontcanada.ca and we can set-up a zoom call to chat. Best.
@@LivingInOttawa I'm very interested on this area too, since I'm moving (all my family) next April/May. My wife is going to study at Algonquin College, so I'd like to know options in that specific area. Thanks in advance and congratulations for your channel, it is quite informative 🎥💯🙌🏻
@@alexsanroman3861 Thank you Alejandro. Please send me an email to info@homefrontcanada.ca and we can connect to discuss your search. Cheers,

Did they decide where the Hyperloop station will be located?
Hyperloop Station?
