oh that’s so funny!! I’m born and raised in Ottawa (been living in Toronto now for 6 years). I love Ottawa and have developed a bigger appreciation for it now that I don’t live there. Not to mention so much more affordable than Toronto haha.
I was surprised that Fido sells internet for $42 and CAA sells insurance??? Home $175/yr vs Auto $350 My Pace with a tracker ($50 per 1000km) where I use Scoop Insurance Broker in Welland Ontario... but somehow CAA policyholders own the company (has not De-Mutualized)... Living in 2 bedroom with Underground parking (heated garage) it's great for extentding the life of any vehicle. CAA also sells Travel Insurance.
This is my true story of a horrific experience that happened to me on renting apartments in Montreal, i had to look for a new apartment to rent due to having to leave my apartment i was at due to fire damages that was caused by another tentant in apartment complex,anyhow i soon there after found a new apartment,this new apartment was renting for $1100.00 it had just been renovated and really nice and clean,however my horrific experience was just about to get much worse,just at the time the covid19 outbreak came around i was settling into my new apartment and really happy i had found a new place,so i thought...i soon began feeling very sick in this apartment and i kept trying to figure out why i was feeling this way,well to cut my true story short,i found out after 5 months and becoming really sick that there were drug dealers who had set up a meth lab in an apartment agent to my mine and the fumes from cooking there meth drug had been seeping into my apartment getting me very sick, still today i have lingering horriffic symptoms do to this meth poisoning, i have seen doctors and explained to them about my bad experience,i have persistance symptoms of lung problems, sinuses and bad headackes which start in this place,i found out the chemical these drug dealers were using to cook this meth was called Ether which is a mix of sulfuric acid and alcohol along with other very toxic dangerous chemicals,however the Ether chemical mix has a very sweet smell not a bad smell which is very deceiving to the sense of smell leaving you thinking how wounderful the air smells around,if you`ve rented you know there are all kinds of smells around,however it was to late by then ,how i found out it was a meth lab is a long story,i had been poisoned really bad but just as bad as getting sick is that when there is meth contamination that seeps into apartments,everything becomes contaminated,i mean everything,from cloths to furniture,tv bed,the smallest objects everything,i couldn`t take anything with me due to meth residue contamination,meth lab spores are really bad,they will linger in everything for years continue making one sick and very hard to wash or get rid of,i had to dispose of everything i had,thousands of dollars lost,all my belongings,it was horrible so horrible,the land lord had no idea this was going on in his building only later to know,also from what i have found out is that these dangerous meth lab apartments are common,i rent from a friend now and will never again rent from others,i still am sick with long lasting bad symptoms fearing for my health ,so i say Renter beware.
Hi, thanks for the video, I will be living in Ottawa starting from this September. $60 for mobile plan, which provider are you with? And is that unlimited data?
@@MarkFarfan dude, approximately how much is the loan for $1700 of monthly paid of mortgage ....I´ll be living in Ottawa this year and this information is valuable for me
@@marioporras223 Of the $1760/mo for the mortgage, I think about $950 of that goes towards paying down the principal and the rest to paying off the interest.

Hahah that's interesting, looks like a nice cost of living to live in a pretty sweet place! Great video, thank you for sharing! 🤩
It is a pretty nice place to live :) Thanks for watching!
Very useful video, thank you! It would be great if you could make a video on how much a family of four spends per month.

Hey!! I'll be moving to ottawa in january for algonquin college, Your videos will be helpful. Will stay connected.
Good luck!
Which course did you take?
@@MarkFarfan can i contact u
Through facebook or inatagtam?
A perfect Video for what i was looking forrr
Thanks for information. The living cost is nothing if there is job opportunity for the people.
It's $2,788.30. You're welcome.
Wow my head gets dizzy just listening to all of your expenses! I am scared to come there!
You could live here on much less if you really tried to stretch a budget!
@@MarkFarfan I believe you!! I have 3 months to decide!
Clairon Haynes i got a week to decide godamn it
I already moved here 2 months ago!
Clairon Haynes ive signed the lease today and moving out tomorrow 😄
is your mortgage fixed or variable. 2 years later, what are you paying now.
Great video, love you content 🇨🇦🍁👍
Thanks!!
Cross that off. Let's go take the situation in Quebec City.
Hi Sir, could you give me some guidence or information about which the best area for housing in Ottawa ? Thanks
Hi, thanks for the video, I will be living in Ottawa starting from this September. $60 for mobile plan, which provider are you with? And is that unlimited data?
Welcome to Ottawa! I'm with Koodo mobile and it's not unlimited data.. I think it's 8GB
@@MarkFarfan may I ask how much did you paid for it? I just arrived, I got Fido, not bad
Very informative.
Very good video thx
Dude. White font on a white background? Seriously?
Sorry I offended your design sensibilities? I'll do better next time :)
what do you do in winter for transporting without a car? I guess its not possible to walk
I used to take the bus quite a bit! Now I work from home though so I don't have to worry about that
Can someone who is on odsp get a room to rent or basement apartment for a fair price?
Do you have interest on student loans in Canada?
oh i live in ottawa too
So, as a single person... I'm going to die soon.
Lol, it's definitely more expensive thay way! You still have hope though:)
It literally looks like the most boring city on earth, and Canada is the most boring country on earth. That’s why I wanna move there.
CPA has good life there from india
I will stay in the usa
This is Deff a more pricy lifestyle. Can easily live off of $1500 a month in Ottawa.
Oh yeah, I'm not living super cheaply! But $1500 per month? That would be impressive
How do you afford a big trip every year with only $250 a month 😦
Hmm, maybe I shouldn't have said BIG. But I can definitely get a nice trip in for $3,000!
@@MarkFarfan Haha I was like "what's your secret!" My goal right now is to save up for a Switzerland trip and it is.....so expensive
Oof yeah, that one isn't going to be cheap.. I hope you get there soon!!
I love how there's no phone bill on here, family leeches off Netflix might as well pay my phone bill
Phone bill is under miscellaneous:)
It’s not bad . it’s a great city otttawa. Toronto fucked up city . High rent high car insurance
Ssh...&
That food bill....
You did not factor "Wife-management" :D :D :D :D
Brother what's the scope of job opportunities for bilingual?
If you can speak both French and English that opens a lot of doors, job wise!
@@MarkFarfan what if I can speak Chinese and English
Have a kid or 2
wow I think your mortgage is quite expensive
Yeah, I definitely couldn't afford it by myself! Split two ways it's not so bad though.

Man, you spend a lot of money on everything. Don't split costs with your fiancee, it'll cause you grief later.
Boring place
indeed
Is more for family
Only if you're single and under 35.
