Congratulations to canada and beyond with 2 long ad and cost of living in Brunswick. Good job keep going.
Thank you! Will do!
Proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities has been much higher in Fredericton. Moncton, and Saint John for some time now than that of some equivalent size places in Ontario, BC, and Quebec and it has gotten worse over the last year.
Yeah we understand that, the market is going to high it needs to stop sooner than later
@@ToCanada_andbeyond I can see a correction in the near future, but not for the pricing of goods and groceries; price gouging has always been an issue in NB due to lack of competition.
As for housing, the time to get a good return was to buy before a year ago, as now you will probably not get the same return if you purchase today and sell a year from now. One thing I was surprised about when coming to NB was how pricey it was to eat out in restaurants; almost as insane as some of the biggest cities in Canada, but bakeries and ice cream take out was cheap; that being said, I have now idea why dairy is so expensive here. Over $7 for 4 litres of milk; over 25 percent more from where I came from.
Thanks for sharing your information.
How is general jobs market in St John?
You can easily find a job within a week. The retail market and the call Center market is pretty open and always in need for jobseekers
😍😍😍😍😍
😘😘
Thank you. This is very informative. I have a few additinal questions though...
1. What are the possible salary range for food industry workers? Like chefs, cooks, waiters, etc. or also those working in the hotels..
2. What industry does Saint John mostly offers in terms of work? Is it ideal for those in the hospitality industry (hotels, restaurants) or is it diverse?
3. How about school? Middle school/high school - what schools are recommended
4. As for health services - do they have a good healthcare system?
Again, thank you for your contents. It surely helps us weigh our options in moving to a new place.
We will be making our next video on job market in New Brunswick stay tuned it’s coming up
Look at other cities in Canada; there is a reason why this place is one of the least sought after places for Canadians to live and one of the hardest to retain youth and youth in the workplace even with the "affordable" houses. Also retaining new comers for the long run is very low here.
If you can't afford a house, this is not the place to be a renter, as you can make much better wages where rents are about the same or only about 20 percent more than here.
An example, you could easily get a job as a transit operator in BC and make 80K a year whereas in Saint John you would only make about 50K a year if you're lucky enough to get a job with them. In BC you could easily rent a nice apartment in the lower mainland for 1400 to 1600 a month including heat, and your electric bill would be about 25 a month. Also you would pay about half the provincial income tax rate of that of NB.
@@rps1689 actually Saint John is one of the most sought after places in Canada. 52% of out of province uhaul rentals to NB terminate in Saint John despite being only 16% of the population. 7 people a day are arriving in Saint John from out of province on average. Newcomer retention rate is actually good. Not sure where you are getting your info. BC is the absolute worse in Canada for rent cost vs. Income. 21% of renters in BC are paying over 50% of their income on housing - it shouldn’t be over 30%. There are many high paying jobs in Saint John waiting to be filled if you have the right skills, especially engineering.
Thank you for this informative comment. I do know that there are a lot of people moving within Canada to Saint John and New Brunswick.
@@travelport7868 No. Saint John is not one of the most sought after places. And NB only had a half of one percent net migration. You left out the numbers that leave Saint John and NB annually seeking a a better life.
NB has a high retention rate for the first year, but stats show it dwindles after 5 years, but time will tell over the next five years. Still provinces in Atlantic Canada have the lowest retention rates nationally.
Funny how no well experienced RN or doctor wants to come to NB with all those high paying vacancies here. Fredericton alone is short 300 doctors.
As for overall proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities for NB, it does fairly on average provincially, but not for individual cities. As the proportion of renter household income spent on rent and utilities in Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton is more than that of some equivalent size places in BC and Ontario where there are better jobs with higher pay.
Right now I can call a place that will give me nice 1200 foot square foot apt in White Rock BC (a very sought after and beautiful coastal suburb) that includes heat for 1500 a month with a utility bill of 24 a month. You could easily get a job like a dry waller make 5000 a month, making my rent and utilities about 30 percent of an individual's income. As an RN making easily over 6000 a month that is 25 percent of earnings.Heck a couple both working at a major grocery store in White Rock easily making a family income of over 5000 a month could afford would only be spending 30 percent of their family income. A similar apt to the one in White Rock in Fredericton or Quispamsis will cost about 1600 to 1900 a month and that doesn't include utilities.
I see you left out that utilities is included in that 21 percent that pay over 50 percent of their income on rental housing also the the generous grant BCers get that have low income that rent.
Would you tell me the best are for internation student studing at NBCC stay(in your opinion)?
hi thanks for watching. Do you mean best places for rent? PLease explain more so we can help you better
thanks for your videos, which is very helpful. I am also an insurance professional in Dubai, I would like to know which course helpful to get job in Canada ( short or long term) what your review about RIBO or CIP. appreciate your response.
Well, if you find a job in insurances companies they pay for your licensing, each proving in Canada have different insurance Laws, for example if you are working in NB you will have to pass insurance exam to be advisor. You can apply for insurance company, if you land the job you can then apply for work permit and enter in Canada.
How so much has changed in a year and how time flies.
Brings to mind 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.
You are correct! We were not expecting big jumps in NB, now it seems almost impossible to find cheap housing in NB. We will make video on this soon.
I also feels like we have been too biased towards NB, never discussed the hardships immigrants have to go through. Like housing, jobs, expensive groceries etc.
@@ToCanada_andbeyond Yes. I have been helping some local immigrants with groceries and prescriptions.
It's a shame what is going on in NB. NB should at least have annual rent increase control especially if they are giving landlords more tax breaks and loopholes to get away with things most landlords could not get away with in many other provinces.
@@ToCanada_andbeyond Are you familiar with NB ACORN?
🤗
🥰
Is there any scrap yards available in NB
What you mean by that exactly
Hi guys, thank you for your awesome videos. The smell in Saint John is still a thing? Does the city smell bad? Should I avoid any neighborhoods?
There is no such thing as smell in Saint John, city is clean but it is recommended not to live too close to Oil refinery.
@@ToCanada_andbeyond Thank you so much for answering. If it's not too much trouble, can I ask something else? Can you guys drink tap water?
Yes you can and you should filter it before drink it actually
Yes you can drink Tap water but we recommend filtering it first, boiling water before drinking is best way to go.
Kindly tell me the minimum rent in saint John,,
Is there single room available for rent? Or 2 rooms , in the range under 1k?
Thanks in advance
I think you can find under 1k 1 bedroom Aprt easily or bachelor Aprt. Check out Kiliam online
Can I pay my rent and other expenses by doing part-time jobs as an international student in moncton?
It really depends I don’t wanna give u false information. I know studies won’t be paid by working part time
Very informative video..The rent amount you shared is for 1 BHK or 2 BHK??
So for 2bedroom aprt the rent is around 1100 to 1300 I have seen a lot of ppl rent 2 bedroom aprt and then have roommate so eventually your rent will go down
@@ToCanada_andbeyond so we can say for the family of 3 .. monthly expense is $2500 per month.. Thanks for sharing this video..removed so many doubts.. suggestion for new video.. Child Benefit program..Day care cost etc
@@zeshantq Sounds good Will keep it in mind.
@@ToCanada_andbeyond That's very pricey for Saint John especially after have to adding utilities to it.
Hi .How are the schools in Saint John? How about the health care ?
Please watch this video as we shared information about your questions.
Let us know if you still need more details l. We will try our best to find answers for you
Health care ,by Canadian standards, is below average to average, but access to primary healthcare is more of an issue.
Hello, I am currently studying at York University in Toronto. I'm thinking of coming to NBCC St John. Is the city good for students (job opportunities)? Comfortable for Muslims? I mean the halal options and masjid?

Hello guys! Your vlogs are very informative, i just want to ask what is the sim service provider of your wife? Hoping for your reply. Thank you in advance
Hi there, Jihen use Rogers and I use Bell as phone career. 😊😊
i am coming as international student in CNA college
and i am coming with my dog can we get part time work easily there or it is hard ?
Yes pretty much in less than a week. Jobs are available everywhere
@@ToCanada_andbeyond hey thanks for the information 👍
Please subscribe if you have not yet
can you give me some information about medical treatment?
Hi there, Medical is very bad specially now a days as hospitals are short staff, but if you can get your personal doctor with referral from friend you should be fine because you will have your own doctor. However, emergency rooms are nightmares. Sometimes you have to wait up to 8 hours
If a student lives in NB and working 20 hrs A week Deos He/She Will survive on odd jobs part-time jobs... Please tell me humble request...
That’s a good question to be very honest about it as a student you will be required to provide a proof of finance to be able to pay your bill and tuitio. Your part time job might help a bit but don’t take it as the only income for you to pay off your bills
Let me know if you need more details
@@ToCanada_andbeyond Thanks for answering my question.
One cost of living in Saint John, it the human cost. If you have underlying health issues especially in regards to lung related ailments. Also the amount of heavy metal toxins are high and its not good for seniors and children.
Many people in Saint John are impacted by the toxins in the environment mostly children, which many still end up with permanent damage, but you don't often hear it in the media, because the family that owns the source of the toxins pretty much has a monopoly on the media and has taken over making policy for government in the province for decades.
Saint John gets about 70 days of fog in the year, and this is the best time to avoid going out because the fog restricts the movement of air and captures the heavy metal toxins so you usually breath in more of it when there is fog.
Wow how crazy is that. I do notice that Saint John gets foggy
@@ToCanada_andbeyond It sure does. And I like the taking photos in it.
New & shocking info!
Is this common in fredericton & moncton as well?
@@hia5623 Moncton has much better air quality compared to Saint John, as Saint John pumps about 200 times more pollutants into the air than Moncton does. Fredericton has good air, but the surrounding areas are over sprayed with pesticides and herbicides. The eeriest thing I first noticed when coming here and still do, is the region from Fredericton to Moncton lacks birds; I rarely see a flock of birds in the sky and there was hardly any bugs out last summer. I spend a lot of time outdoors daily and trips between Fredericton, Saint John, and Moncton over the last two years. I recall decades ago seeing so many flocks of birds and bugs here.
Can we find a mosque at st john? Planning to study there
Yes there are 3 mosque in Saint John Nb
As a student for one bedroom apartment how much rent i would pay.
Now rates are increasing, for 1 bed it can cost you between $400-$700/month
Thank you so much
Hi, my family and I will arrive in saint john in august. I have a young daughter and we thought it best to buy a car. Do you know a good and reliable place to see some cars?
This is very wise to have a car right of the bat , because you will need to travel specially in first few days. There are many dealerships here in Saint John selling used cars. But we would recommend if you have little know how about cars buy it from FB Marketplace Or Kijiji you may save some money and get good deal! 🙂🙂
@@ToCanada_andbeyond ok, thanks a lot for the help :)

with 100k as salary tentatively how much can be saved
spouse not working
2 child dependents
owning car
monton work location
It really depends! I would say you would be getting around 4K a month after paying all taxes then think of 1200$ rent and all the other expenses! You could save spurns 1k a month. But if u r a PR holder u will be getting benefits for ur wife and 2 kids
That's 52% tax
can you give me reference link to calculation, from some EY link I saw tax is around 34%
I pay 59% tax a year! Everyone would be different. You have kids so maybe your tax would be lower or you might still pay and at the end you can claim it back.
Even if you would use online calculator it can’t be accurate to the point
how can 13.75/h wage could be fair?
There is low cost of living here in NB, you can still save good money by making 13.75/hr
It isn't for many, as groceries, utilities, and taxes are high in NB. Even if you had a house paid for here, it is a higher cost of living compared to some other provinces with a paid off home. There is no lack of people especially seniors here in NB and even in Saint John that had paid off homes, but had to sell them because they couldn't afford the utilities and taxes on them and are now renters.
One only has to compare a city that is relatively the same size of one in BC to NB for example. Benefits for seniors in BC are much superior to that of what is available for those in NB. Provincial Supplements for couples on GIS in BC is three to four times more than what they get in NB. Also the pathetic benefits seniors get in NB are very socially invasive and the qualifications are ridiculous leaving a lot of seniors left out whereas in BC they would not be. Also BC has Safer, which one of my tenants use; 23 percent of their rent is rental assistance. I have to remind them that they have more disposable income as renters than most low income seniors with houses in NB.
Plus groceries are about 30 to 40 percent less and are taxed less in BC. No wonder so many seniors in NB on fixed incomes are cashing in on their house becoming renters; they can’t afford the property taxes, which are insanely high here and there is no discount for seniors on the equivalent here of the home owners grant like they get in BC. My neighbours here in NB are renters, and they sold their house because they couldn’t afford paying the utilities and taxes, which was came to 800 a month for a small house assessed at 300K. It was only assessed at 190K. A person in BC with a home assessed at 1 million would pay that much in total for taxes and utilities.
