Hi Marc, i am connecting with you after a year. I am finally coming to PG this sept as a student. How is it during the covid era? how is the job market?
Prince George is booming. There are hotels, and Condos and housing of various types being built on all available lots. Our economy has remained very strong and is continuing to grow, so I'd say the job market will remain strong alongside that :D

Hello,love your videos.. please i will be moving to PG this August, as an international student of CNC...please what good neighbourhood can one stay,that's free of crimes and other's..because have heard lot's of negative things about PG... And what do you say about a student coming in with few months pregnant, with the intention of birthing there....
Thank you Marc, it is difficult to decide I have applied to different colleges as Intl student, now I am torn between Barrie, Ontario and Prince George :( can you give advise pls? thanks in advance!
If you feel that the quality of the education is the same at all 3, then you will have to decide which of the 3 places entices you the most for what the surrounding areas offer, and also cost of living of course. :)
Hi I really like your videos. I sent you a message at Facebook. I am currently the Philippine Recruitment Manager for CNC and am leveraging PG as the best destination for study and living.
I lived in PG for 3 years. There are some nice people there but I would never go back there with my family, the drug and gun crime is on another level! It also felt very isolated to me. To get to another city of any size is a day long drive or you have to fly. The other problem was, all the friends we got to know when there, moved away. It's quite a transient place.
Where are you living currently I'd you don't mind me asking? I've actually had the opposite experience. I've lived here a total of 6 years now, and I love it. Many of my friends from my hometown ended up here, and I've made many more that are new comers to the city that have settled here for good. After living in Ottawa (1 million people) I'd say the instances or fun violence and drugs are much less here, especially if you just stay out of the VLA, which is only a small section of the city. I won't argue that it's a bit isolated for sure though, haha
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge I now live on Vancouver island but we have property in NB so will be selling up and moving out of BC altogether..

I lived in Prince George for 22 years and feel quite blessed to finally be able to leave...i left a few years ago . I raised my daughter there and when she entered high school the peer pressure of drugs and alcohol are immense...she said basically "all" the kids were mingling with it and with fentanyl mixed in drugs now adays that is a very concerning matter ...she said that most of her freinds parents did some type of drug or alcohol as well.

Yeah, as if Edmonton isn't full of druggies, worse winters, fewer city services unless paying for more and geography that is nothing compared to our incredible .ountains, lakes, hills and valleys.
The reality is that all places don't work for all people. It sounds like you made a great move for yourself and your family, and for that I am happy for you! 😁
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge All it comes down to for her is cheaper housing (compared to what?) and lower taxes. Of course. When you have to pay for extra services, so lower municipal and provincial taxes are a mirage.
How's the crime? Prince George consistently rates in the top 20 on Maclean's top 100 cities with highest crime index. Also, some people say there's pulp mill smells sometimes. Does that depend on location in the city?
Prince George does have crime, which keeps it on that list but there are many things being done currently in the city, that is bringing more and more upstanding citizens to the downtown areas, and over the coming years it's going to naturally push out a lot of the remaining crime. I lived in the so called "worst" part of the city for 2 years during college, back in 2004-6 when things were even tougher than now, and I never had a single issue or scary moment. So with a bit of common sense , others should also not have any issues. There is no denying the smell of the pulp mills. Yes some areas of the city are better than others, but just count on smelling it from time to time when you live here. 🙂 Hope that helps, Michael!
We had friends who lived in the 'worst' area and they have a few stray bullets from a drive by shooting go through their living room in the middle of the night...there is definitely crime and particularly in the downtown area.
I really like your videos and I am from Sri lanka planing to study in UNBC, so may I know how is the part time job opportunities in Prince George twon city
Thank you for the kind words! There is no shortage of work here for those with some drive and initiative :D. If you are coming across the world to study I would think you have all of the necessary skills and character attributes to find good employment while you arrive 😁
I am planning to move to prince George to study msc. in business administration in UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA. How is the job market there? Can I be Able to sustain my life?
There are many great places to live. It depends on what you want to have around you. :) And public transit is also pretty easy to get to from mostly anywhere in the city. I think Prince George is the hidden gem of the North, and I find my quality of life here is excellent with so many amenities nearby and yet no traffic ! 😁
This is a video I'm shooting soon! Feel free to shoot me a text and we can set up a quick zoom call, and I can share my screen and give you a virtual tour of my favorite neighborhoods :) 250-251-5800
There are lots of great spaces for nursery schools and pre schools here in the city. Plus over 160 new daycare type places are opening up this year or already have in many cases.
Thats a great question. I don't currently have that list in front of me, as I have never looked into it, but with some digging im sure something like that exists. You can try indeed.com or kijiji.ca or even facebook to see if there are local companies hiring :)
Hi you may contact MC De Guzman of SLE she is great in assisting International Students interested in CNC like me. ILETS requirement depend on the school but she can help and you can watch her videos SLE.
remember, if you want to move to prince george, as a labourer, make sure you have a job before moving (or stay with friends while the family is still back where ever), other wise, make sure you have the right training and right schooling. its not as simple and as easy pleasy as this guy makes it. once you have a job in prince george and it pays good, do not be a big city person and quit. good jobs in prince geroge do not come around to often. even low paying jobs. even low paying jobs in prince george do not come around to often and when it dose, work your butt off to show that you are valuable to the company. low paying jobs lead to much better jobs to so take what you can get unless you are already trained.
Hi Joey, you are correct. It helps to have a job lined up , but that's true of anywhere you move. The same is true for having a skillset or past experience to make yourself more "hireable". But there are plenty of jobs out there for anyone who isn't adverse to hard work. Best of luck to anyone moving here! :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge The people who see your videos should realise its not all roses and Champaign like you make it out to be in Prince George. There is a reason why Prince George stagnates and dose not grow quickly like other places in BC and Alberta.. People like you just go out and paint everything so rosy and its not. Its a great place but it has not been so ROSEY like you put it since the 1950s and even some what in the 1960s. the time period where you could have just showed your face to a company and have a job with in a week if not that day. people need to know unless they have some sort of degree or several years of experience, there could be a good chance they well either whined up on welfare or living in one of the old tramp holes by the river across from the cut banks. and allot of the time it is not what you know but whom you know. Yes Prince George is a great place to move to but stop watching these "F"n videos because you will be disappointed. from someone who has been a PGer since the 1960s, these newbis have totally white washed Prince George's history, has kissed e-so many asses, they have no since of what Prince George was and is, natives are supper pissed of everyone thinking with this first nations appreciation crap to the point they have forgotten the real native history of the region. also NEVER listen to these johnny come latelys when it comes to sight seeing PG. go there visit the info center, go to the libraries and read the history and REMEMBER ITS A PULP AND PAPER TOWN! remember that before you go out dinning. i can go on but i am no tour guide
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge do you even know where the town of fort george is? what about the actual fort george and where it was? do you know where the native burial ground is in prince george? do you know where the German p.o.w. camp was? how do you go golfing in winter? how do you go sking in summer? do you know anything of prince george? i would not even ask you about the history of the military in pg or the history of the natives (when everyone has white washed it away)
Thanks for your input Arthur! I'm sure you were just using those numbers to drive home a point, but a quick google search will confirm that Prince George gets an average of 299 days of sunshine a year. So I guess you are right, 300 days was "bullcrap", as i rounded up to 300 for simplicity sake, 😂. To your next point, a person's interaction with the criminal elements of a city can be as much or as little as you make of them. I've lived here for a total of 6 years, and have literally never had a single issue. I even lived down in the VLA for 2 of those years back in 2004-6, in the Strathcona Townhouses, and had no issues. I'm sorry that it sounds like your experience with PG wasn't a favorable one, but I happen to find it a fantastic place to live 😀 Wishing you the best of experiences with wherever you are living now :) Cheers!
If you know who to talk to at the city to get paid for a video like this, let me know! Haha. The city has no idea this video exists, and non of my videos are monetized in any way. I hope that answers your question! 🙂 Thanks for watching! 🤟🏼
I love a good discussion, Joey :) Obviously everyone has their own viewpoints, but if you'd care to elaborate on your comment, I'd be happy to discuss :D Either way, thanks for watching and interacting! Have a great day!
Thanks for watching Dua! Unfortunately I can't guarantee you part time work, but there are no shortage of jobs here if you do a bit of research into what kind of work you want too do :)
Don't go! Prince George is the most dangerous city in BC, a lot of racism. I lived there, it was the most terrible time in my life. this is the truth. do some real research. there is a lot of homes that wont sell. they are looking for buyers
@@greattubing2880 Thanks... for this vital information. I am presently in SK and I have been planning relocating to P G. But the low cost of living kept me very skeptical..
I'm not sure what your asking? At 0:53 on the video I mention that the cost of living is low here, which is a good reason to move. Would you care to elaborate on your question, so I can answer it correctly? Thanks!
@@greattubing2880 In comparison to where, exactly? I lived in Ottawa for 8 years, and when compared to somewhere like that or Vancouver, Prince George is very affordable. That was a large part of the reason we moved back here :)
Thanks for watching Herman! Prince George continues to be a fantastic place to call home, and this last year has only highlighted that fact even more, as people and businesses move here for the lower cost of living than many larger centres, as well as the easy access to so many diverse activities. 🚣🏊⛷️🚵🧗
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge I have nothing against PG. I used to live there and I am considering a move back from Vancouver. If someones likes a quiet lifestyle it is okay there.
?? That's a vague statement. Can you point towards any specific statistics that have you thinking this? Prince George crime rate has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY in the last 15+ years, which is why we are not anywhere near as high on the list as we once were.
You mention moving cross country from Ottawa to Prince George, can you make a video about rhat? Ie: how you did it, where you stayed before you bought a house in BC etc. My wife and I are highly considering relocating from Southern Ontario (London) to Prince George area. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hi Rob! That's a great Video idea. I can definitely create one about that. I kind of cheated as so grew up here, so we stayed with family for a few days until our house that we bought was ready to move into and then we were all set. Obviously there are a few more steps, but I'll cover those in the video. :) Feel free to shoot me a text or a call if you have any questions about the process :) 250-251-5800

Thanks for your input Arthur! I'm sure you were just using those numbers to drive home a point, but a quick google search will confirm that Prince George gets an average of 299 days of sunshine a year.
So I guess you are right, 300 days was "bullcrap", as i rounded up to 300 for simplicity sake, 😂.
To your next point, a person's interaction with the criminal elements of a city can be as much or as little as you make of them. I've lived here for a total of 6 years, and have literally never had a single issue. I even lived down in the VLA for 2 of those years back in 2004-6, in the Strathcona Townhouses, and had no issues.
I'm sorry that it sounds like your experience with PG wasn't a favorable one, but I happen to find it a fantastic place to live 😀
Wishing you the best of experiences with wherever you are living now :)
Cheers!
Enjoy Hixon then!I 🤣🤣🤣

Guess I am going to have to book a flight to BC
Definitely book a flight here hombre! We dont have ocean surfing in my neck of the woods, but we do have wake surfing! haha.
how much did the city pay you for the video?
If you know who to talk to at the city to get paid for a video like this, let me know! Haha. The city has no idea this video exists, and non of my videos are monetized in any way. I hope that answers your question! 🙂 Thanks for watching! 🤟🏼

wow this guy really nieve
I love a good discussion, Joey :) Obviously everyone has their own viewpoints, but if you'd care to elaborate on your comment, I'd be happy to discuss :D Either way, thanks for watching and interacting! Have a great day!
i am from Pakistan and now i want to come in Canada kindly guide me sincerely that can i get part time job easily in prince George?
Thanks for watching Dua! Unfortunately I can't guarantee you part time work, but there are no shortage of jobs here if you do a bit of research into what kind of work you want too do :)
Don't go! Prince George is the most dangerous city in BC, a lot of racism. I lived there, it was the most terrible time in my life. this is the truth. do some real research. there is a lot of homes that wont sell. they are looking for buyers
yes very easy, as an immigrant you'll be taken advantage like they didi with me, ths is the truth
@@greattubing2880 Thanks... for this vital information. I am presently in SK and I have been planning relocating to P G. But the low cost of living kept me very skeptical..
*manufacturing 😋
Haha! Nice catch 😉
Is it true, it's dangerous to libe 8n pg?
No more dangerous than any other city I've lived in if I'm being honest!
0:53 What's wrong with it?
I'm not sure what your asking? At 0:53 on the video I mention that the cost of living is low here, which is a good reason to move.
Would you care to elaborate on your question, so I can answer it correctly?
Thanks!
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge not true, the cost of living in in PG is very high. PleaseTell the truth
@@greattubing2880 In comparison to where, exactly? I lived in Ottawa for 8 years, and when compared to somewhere like that or Vancouver, Prince George is very affordable. That was a large part of the reason we moved back here :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge you are being paid to tell all that's not true
I love my town ❤️
It's a great place to live! 🙂 How long have you lived here?
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge my hole life aka 9 years
@@skymaster256 I grew up in Burns Lake, so I've been coming to PG for 36 years and have lived here for 5 :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge nice what’s your fav cougars player

Who is yours?
This guy is a real estate agent and he wants to sell you a house. So take his "advice" with a grain (or two or three) of salt.
Thanks for watching Herman! Prince George continues to be a fantastic place to call home, and this last year has only highlighted that fact even more, as people and businesses move here for the lower cost of living than many larger centres, as well as the easy access to so many diverse activities. 🚣🏊⛷️🚵🧗
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge I have nothing against PG. I used to live there and I am considering a move back from Vancouver. If someones likes a quiet lifestyle it is okay there.
@@althunder4269 What is having you want to leave Vancouver, if you don't mind me asking? :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge can you make a video on things to do and see in PG? TIA
@@xo7454 You bet! It's been on my list for a while, things have just been crazy busy this whole summer. :)
Crime Rates is so high in P.G.!
?? That's a vague statement. Can you point towards any specific statistics that have you thinking this?
Prince George crime rate has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY in the last 15+ years, which is why we are not anywhere near as high on the list as we once were.
You also have a serial killer in the area
Hi I lived in PG for a few years as my wife is from there but we left because of the crime, what is this about a serial killer?
What bigger area doesn't have its fair share of psycho's? The key is to not be Serial, and you wont get killed! 😝🤣
You mention moving cross country from Ottawa to Prince George, can you make a video about rhat? Ie: how you did it, where you stayed before you bought a house in BC etc. My wife and I are highly considering relocating from Southern Ontario (London) to Prince George area. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hi Rob! That's a great Video idea. I can definitely create one about that. I kind of cheated as so grew up here, so we stayed with family for a few days until our house that we bought was ready to move into and then we were all set.
Obviously there are a few more steps, but I'll cover those in the video. :)
Feel free to shoot me a text or a call if you have any questions about the process :) 250-251-5800
