- The amount spent each month varies and your situation will determine your expenses but the fact remains that Canada is expensive.
You might be a student in university or worker or something but you can still relate to the monthly expenditures.

I really love your honesty some people always make video saying Canada is good but not mention the negative side. Thanks
mustapha daudaimams there are many negatives check out my TH-cam video at The outlet show more info coming.
There are negatives agreed... But he clearly lacks money management abilities
No country is perfect :(
there is no heaven on this earth. make yourself happy if u can
You still can never ever compare to life in Nigeria.
I paid $950 per month for a two bedroom, two story house that was built in 2004. This was in Arizona.
In Toronto, I paid $1500 for a SMALL one bedroom apartment plus utilities.
Car insurance in Arizona was $88 for full coverage. (I was a cop there, so my driving record was excellent.
In Toronto, car insurance $150+.
Food costs way more, as taxes are higher.
I found that job opportunities are more frequent in the US VS Canada. The biggest difference in that regard, is most jobs in the US will hire you and train you. Most jobs in Canada require you to obtain certain certifications at your own cost before you even apply for the actual job.
hey man i want to know more about US,can we chat,i am graduate civil engineer and i want to move out of africa for better career advancement.
I live in Zimbabwe i can survive in any economy
Hahaha. I got u
I agree with you there totally 😊
LMAOOOOO

I love your videos, I just moved to Canada for my master's program and I can relate. Good job
How can I connect with you?
Can you please message me on +201009590500, I have a few questions
Why don’t you let someone live with you and share the rent!!! By the way Schooling is free here in Germany 🇩🇪 .
Harry Monere honestly? How can I gain admission in Germany?
@@jamesclement2806 u gotta take classes in german if u want the free tution
Harry Monere if you do that your landlord will kick you out!
but is it true germany is hard to get work as a foreigner especially the professional courses.
Harry Monere must be nice 𗀔 they killing us here in Toronto 😩𗀿
Living in Canada 🇨🇦 is very much expensive speaking from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦. I’m single but I spent nearly $1’500Cad a month.
That's cheap for Toronto, I guess, you are sharing a house with someone, but if you get a 1 BHK on your own, the rent alone is $1000+
Uk is much cheaper
I know, but what can you do, if your job lies in big cities only. If you choose to live in neighboring cities, the commute alone will kill you. :(
Hmmmm
ONYEISI SUCCESS let me come leave with you😂😂😂
1. Cut back on the eating out and find ways to socialize which don't involve spending money.
2. Get a Compass Card and use the skytrain and buses. This will save you money.
3. Ditch the gym membership. Get some weights and an exercise mat or a used treadmill if you have the space for it.
Just doing these things will free up money for other things. I live in BC in case you were wondering.
Tell me about Prince George
Love the walk-through...walk-through Peter haha! I just shared what I spend in a month here in Toronto! ✨
Thank you 🙏🏾
Honey, I made most of my lunches for school and work. I live lean as a student. Gym memberships can be very expensive. I was paying $68 a month at Goodlife. Crazy. It really depends on where in Canada you live also. Prices change. Find a roommate. Car is a huge expense. Take transit and rent a car for bigger trips. Much better way to life in big city.
Who noticed he is always walking past that clean 1997 Toyota Camry ? Is it for sale?😁
AutoNaija Yea you are damm right
I lived in Canada for a year and what I do miss the most is the great cars you can find for cheap!
I love you bro and you are hard worker for making your channel videos carry on !!!! And take huge love from Bangladesh !!!!
V. City I really appreciate your good works on this channel. Yeah it is a good thing for us to hustle in order to survive. Also, to keep a legacy for our future generation for a good purpose of remembering us. But, all this honour will fade away within a ephemeral period. Let's not be carried away by these things for all is vanity.
Try Australia and you will see what it means that a place is expensive. Although more pay
Very true. But you forgot phone bill
Worst place in the world for cell phone bills
dude get roommates in bedroom apartments, saves the cost of living and improves mental health for social needs
As a grown man, sharing his bedroom with anyone other than a girlfriend is just not ideal, even for financial reasons.
@@cybertroy2 dude i said bedroom apartment a 3 or 4 bedroom apartment will be cheaper than living in the basement. even still get a bunk bed, what you worried about what you think is ideal or having financial freedom so you can get the ideal later
No roommates!It would make me insane.
I really enjoy your honesty it's refreshing
Canada is peaceful, lonely, depressing, ...and I love your honesty. feels like we living same life dude lol.
How can I connect with you?
Can you please message me here, on what's app, +201009590500
Thank you for all your videos.preparing to go to canada and your videos are giving me headsup
Glad to hear this
Mate, those expenses are very similiar to what we pay in Prague, Czech republic, with the difference, that you'll make 3x more money in CAN. . . Sure, as a student, its tough to survive but after all, that's everywhere. The diffrence is that your purchasing power is way more than in central or eastern europe.
Dont take taxi, dont eat at fancy restaurants, dont buy fancy cars. Those things will be there once you'll get full time job =)
At least someone is telling him there truth
@@ayoodu2632 yeah, he should come study to Czech, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary etc. then he would realise that he is living like a king there...
@@lukaskrtek5212 But education is free in europe, in fact europe is practically a socialist continent, theirs so much subsidized shit.
good on ye bro for spilling it the way it is.
Yeah also kindly highlight the part time jobs that help make that 2k per month. Thank you.
Nice video
Love the consistency 👍
Vancouver is a pretty but pricey city! Accommodation (and other amenities) would probably cost slightly less in cities like Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Halifax, etc
Depends on your priorities! If are at Canada n you think n live for making money ...you will but need to sacrifice alot....
Canada is also a lonely place to be.
Super lonely..can’t wait to leave and go back home.
Echetabu Emeka depends on what type of person you are
@@hiboune15 Why?
Yes very lonely..I've been living here all my life..after travelling overseas I see what Canada lacks..social events..nothing fun to do here ...SAD
@@sunflowerjam3319 Why? I know also people in Canada who are very social
Boy???? I do pushups and squats period and I look more buffed, drop the damn Gym membership. Lol.
I’ve been thinking of this!!😩
of lift weights at home too and do some jogging for cardio too. it can be done cheaper....lol....
@@MsDesiree39 i like weighted squats and leg presses,how will i do this at home,i need gym.
@@calvoh9715hello, not sure how big u r but small weights like 5 or 10 pounds used at home at least twice a week for at least 1/2 hour, squats u can do by lowering your body and holding your back straight going as low as your hip height and holding for 10 mins at first and longer as u get used to it for 1/2 hr as well. Do these at least twice a week, Remember to drink liquids after. But u must keep doing this to make it work. Good luck. Is there a YMCA in your area? See if the gym is there and affordable for u as well.
Waow that's expensive certainly, mainly the housing and talk about heating the house in winter seasons and with medicals.... Better safe than sorry. Also i expect after a few years they pay 'cash back' if you don't use correct me if i am wrong please.
Where do you live/go to school? Our montly fuel bill is around $450 to $500 a month and that is just for my husband to get back and forth to work and weekly grocery trips. We can't afford to go on trips anywhere that will use up our gas. Our vehicle insurance is $108 p/m Our rent for our 2 bedroom apartment is $1095 a month and about to go up to $1150 p/m since our lease is up for renewal. We don't pay natural gas but our electric is around $165 p/m Then cable/home phone/internet is $265 p/m Groceries here are every expensive and cost us a minimum of $1000 per month So total we spend on basic living and food is just over $3000 p/m Up until a year ago those expenses were a lot higher our rent was $1650 p/m for a 3 bedroom house plus we had natural gas on top of that which included the carbon tax which came to around $200 p/m We lived in one of the cheaper houses most of them here cost well over $2000 per month to rent.
nice video bro... The Lord is your strength. More blessings.
how
How many hours a week you owe to work to pay your bills? And how many hours takes your education? It is interesting to compare how is it working in different countries.
I bet the ordinary people like you and I should struggle with the same problems no matter what country you live in. But countries like Canada or USA have more opportunity to build your welthy life, may be not inside that countires, but in other cheaper places of the world.
What I mean is that you might earn money in wealthy countries and then spend them in countires with lower income. And in that case you would live like an upper middle class there.
Loved your honesty. Thanks bud. Also, you walk pretty fast. Hehe
Awesome bro. Thanks for the info!👍😊
I’m happy to help
Great channel nice advise 👍🏾I am over here in Toronto from what I heard Toronto and bc is like same with expenses. Who feels it knows it🙄 Not everyone can roommate some people are disgusting and as for gym you can partner up on Facebook with other groups in bc like here in Toronto and exercise together. As for those person who said cut the gym 🙄that’s for you not VCity staying motivated with work & school plus gym not easy so you need others with same mission like yours to train with he can try to cut but join a group. Doing it alone by yourself you may slack off because with work and school plus a new environment it’s not easy 🤷🏾♀️but when you have others around it helps👍🏾Canada is lonely so getting to meet new people will help🤷🏾♀️those are my suggestions well at least you don’t have the horrible snow to deal with that much because car wash money 💰😏. We always wants to hear the great news about migration well welcome to life it’s not all roses 🌹 and it does comes with thorns😏. I appreciate that Canada as allow me to be here but every province rules and regulations are different and students are allowed certain hours to work so trying to make 2000 kind of hard. Keep posting the true VCity someone got to be waken🤷🏾♀️ this is the reality of life in Canada👍🏾😁 then after you finish college you have to get a job in the area you study or you might not be allowed to stay here🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️wake up people
Yes, things are expensive in canada no doubt, overtaxed beyond believe, but need to be creative in how you live, especially as a student
In my opinion. From living in Nigeria i believe i am armed to live well in any economy. You probably should come back to know how to minimise cost and still get the job done. Decide why you're doing things before doing them. For example your gym membership. If you want to build muscle and be all mesomorphic, i think a 3 month membership should do. After that get weights at home and some bars to keep it up. If its general fitness and conditioning then you can do all of that at home too. You're not doing bad to me and I'm sure this video is not you complaining about your expenses. You live in a big city anyway and like in all countries the bigger the city the more the expense. Everyone has his life to live. If you're happy with your expenses then no problem. From what you say a part time job of $2k covers it all. So in the end canada gives you that ability to make more than you spend monthly. This is not the case in all countries
Moved to canada a month ago and this is what has shocked me the most😂😒.wish i knew this before
Tell me more. I’m about moving to Canada from Ghana
Keep doing you bro..
I’m a little confused. I live in BC, and have gone to one college and one university in the province. A gym pass was actually included in tuition, as was a bus pass. For the university, a swim pass was included too. And $200 a month on gas?! Where are you driving, and do you have a gas guzzler? I have a Toyota, I pay $60/month for gas. Maybe you have a long commute to school?
That being said, it is expensive to live here (your rent is actually decent for the region, for having no roommates).
Health insurance in BC is a maximum of $37/month currently, although it was $75 last year. If you are a Canadian resident then the premium is adjusted for your income, and if you make less that $26,000/ year you pay zero. Extended heath is included in your tuition as well, to cover most of the price of prescriptions and whatnot. This is pretty cheap compared to the US.
You know about Prince George BC?
You are great and sincere,nice video,An apartment here in Zurich - Switzerland a single room toilet and bathroom is 1,200 Chf (1,180US D ) minimum a month,what about cities like Montreal or Toronto is the Rentage similar or much expensive,
I love your channel. I wanna ask this, as a student in Canada heavily involved in soccer, is there any grants or money paid to the student? I’m a Nigerian hoping to come to Canada for masters. Please reply. Thanks
Cellphone services are a ripoff in Canada,being the most expensive of all major countries.
Insightful! But 200CAD for gas?? As a student? I find that on the high!
I gather heat and water is included in your rent? This winter was extra cold and heating bill was $900+ per month for me. A person could always live cheaper but one decides what is important in one's life (for me living alone is important and having pets) and then you just tough it through, knowing that that cost won't always be there.
Good job Peter, found this video very helpful.
What part of Nigeria are you from?
He's a yoruba guy
Do you really need a car, gym membership, etc? You go to Univ of Toronto. Transit is amazing and you save tonnes from not having car and paying for insurance and gas. Your needs are conflated with wants
He lives in British Columbia not Ontario. Things are different and more expensive. The city he lives in doesn't even have trains and the buses are not reliable
Some places are hard to get to work without a car
@@elsieleblanca5836 transit system is fine here. A car is a luxury, not a necessity.
Hi Peter I love ur program, I need to know more about the colledge stuff and the university, is the colledge same as the univeraity
I love your video am a new subscriber i also love to move to Canada right now living in saudi Arabia
It's getting crazier in BC here... with inflation and increasing interest rates ;c.. Are you from BC too?
very educative.. can you add up a video about your part time job and how much you make.Thanks
I already did in some videos before but we can do again
I am from a different country, but same here.Basically, what you should know before coming that $1000 at home and $1000 here is a COMPLETELY different thing. From my 5 years experience, I can tell you that if you are a guy with wife and lets say 2 kids. You need to make around $10k per month to fit it. Otherwise you debt will increase substantially.
As a Vancouverite, I concur that it's expensive as hell living here.
Cool information bro
You are living big. You can actually divide your rent by sharing your rent. Canada has a good transport system. Car isn't really necessary
Stupid comment.... there is no canada wide transportation service. Muncipalities, regions have thier own transit with some having province wide like GO. Yes there is via rail or what ever but ur not taking that to work or school. Transit is depending on where u are. Canada is the second largest country in the world u cant say it has good transit cuz u went to montreal or toronto n experienced good transit. Thats ignorant... be smarter than that.
Hey!
200 to 300 for gas.
Is it for one person?
Business is good here though, right? I mean yeah you have to hustle at times but you can make really good money here. I know there is always someone out there making a few billion more then you but still I would say that the average Canadian is doing pretty damn well when you consider all the other options on earth.
We live well here. Plenty for everyone!
Exactly!!!!
300$ a year for a confortable student apartment in Nigeria. 900 $ a year as a student in Nigeria, you are a big boy
$900 a month bro
Not of a year
Dude your video is on the application page of MUN.
Wow👌
You wouldnt say America is expensive because it depends where you are in america. NY is expensive, San Fran is expensive... anywhere in florida not named disney isnt neither is a lot of the midwest. Same applies to Canada. Toronto or Vancouver are insane but elsewhere isnt as bad. Overall yes its more expensive than the states but the whole country isnt yonge street
Before this pandemic, l had planned to move there for my scholarships undergraduate but the expenses are killing me. But if l can survive in kenya l will try to survive, quick question, america or canada ?
We have the best society in the world.. Healthcare, Education and all our other programs. You pay for healthcare cause one day, you will need Doctor's and you don't want to pay or worry about bills that you could never afford. As it is, you can walk into any Healthcare center and know you'd receive live saving treatment anywhere in Canada. But you can't forget that Toronto and Vancouver it's very expensive to live in the cities.. Outside of Toronto you can rent a room cheaper.. Out past Barrie, we 3 were each paying $500 a month for our apartment and utilities shared..
Canada is great! Don’t get me wrong, I just highlight the ups and downs on the channel. Thank you for your perspective. 🙏🏼
@@VCityglobal Yeah, just don't ever forget how bad it can be. I'm gonna tell you a sad story I hope you read and understand why. A black guy came to our area of mostly whites, (My mom's family is black, we're half the only colored family in our area for like ever), I befriended him as did many others.. Later, he was murdered by the idiots I introduced him too.. Now the papers will say it was over drugs but the truth is he was murdered for dating a white girl, and her brother's friend liked her, and they didn't like that she was with a black man.
Yes, he dealt drugs, but so does every other white guy in that area and he wasn't violent, he wasn't a pusher, and did it to help his single mother with 5 kids after his dad bailed on them, they moved to our area.
www.yorkregion.com/news-story/1441836-4-plead-guilty-in-brutal-slaying-of-georgina-man/
His murder was an unsanctioned hit, a racial attack and the powers that be made sure that everyone who was part of murder, even those who had knowledge of it was put under, and they made their own leader take the fall for it all..

Sorry, the initial killers are still alive, but last I heard, they keep getting themselves thrown in jail as soon as they get out to avoid the mark they have on their heads.
How much is health insurance and minimum wage?
I'm planning to move to Canada for Masters degree.. I'm getting scared😭
Where in BC do you live in spending only $10 a month on bus tickets and which steve Nash do you go to. They were charging me like 56 bucks a month
Text me on Instagram
I was told student visa allows one to work only 20 hours a week. Is there a possibility one can overshoot that just tiny winnie little bit?
Generally not recommended ,as it is risky and can effect your work visa
Thanks for your video. You told the gospel truth. Canada is so damn expensive overall, you work many hours, money easily goes back to servicing bills whaoooo.... Calgary is somehow cheaper depending on your living standards. You need to cut down on cost substantially, rent and other stuff. If not, you will slave hard & not see any balance at month end.i look forward to a time Nigeria will be developed so that we can return home & set up properly. This country is a scam. Life isn’t necessarily better in Canada, its just like a spinning wheel keeping you in moderation.
Post graduate students do they go to school every day? How much are they stand to make a month?
Love u, love u, love u Peter forever
Guy! Get a selfie stick, it would help you for your videos. You didn't talk about going to the salon and stuffs.. Also clothes and other accessories you'll need that month. Well-done
Good suggestions! Haha you’re really thinking! Thanks
Hey bro come to fort McMurray, Alberta , when you off schools make some money
Saboune Musa can we talk
Is it possible to defer your admission in order to work more and go back to schooling after that??
Hmmmm possible but not easy
Good morning, please I wanted to know if international students can engage in online business such as selling of music in Canada...
900+260+10+10+35+200 ~>1410 appx 1500. Lets keep that at with misc exp 1800 thats cheaper than aus. I had to pay 1000 over this to payback a loan. Im happy im at the end of that loan :)
Why do you tell people that if they decide to save some money, they will have 0:00 in their accounts, where do Canadians save money, in the air.?😂 😂 😂
I think he meant 0 in their checking account not in their saving accounts but I'm not sure
People who are drowning in bills should consider living in their cars. Saves you from paying rent and utility bills. You can shower in the gym, charge electricals at the library etc.
GospelGuy in Canada🤷🏽♀️
So wait you still pay for your person photography hustle..i don't understand plz elaborate more
march 25 , no snow , which part of canada do you live in ?
I believe he is in Vancouver. So he will barely see snow in late March. But is spring across Canada.
It isn't cold in March in Canada?... yoir outfit.
It depends on where you are. Some places are cold even in May
Shouldn't be health insurance paid from the taxes? Or do you have a private insurance?
that is only for canadian citizens
@@gc9362 you mean citizens and foreigners with work permit visa, right? I thought that everybody who have SIN got state insurance.
Lukáš Krtek no only citizens and permanent residents get free health care in canada. everyone else has private insurance or none at all
😔 the price of living in Toronto is outrageous better off dead than being alive stressing over bills & debts😩 poverty is a sin...We in 2019 and people still suffering in Canada minimum wage should start from $20 per hour it’s time the government start help poor people instead of kill poor people with the price of living 𗀷🙏🏼
What about the school fees and books and everything ?
Move to Alberta health insurance is free for anyone legally living there
its good some one is saying this stuff Canada has allot of problems
The expenses there is more like medium i would say. Here house got mad. U barely can get anything for 1200 eu , Dublin probably u won't find 1600 eu even a 2 bed apartment now
@1younguy yes not that u not gonna find cheep but u might have face homelessness even if u have enough money because there is not enough houses for rental market. Gym only 10$ a month, here the cheapest one no less than 30 eu jezzzzz even that one u won't get in big city 3
@J OneLife ??????????
In america you can get car insurance for like 45 bucks a month
Get a roomated dude. I'm canadian and Ive never not had a roomate. Save you're money, you need it in case of emergencies of for investing.
Get rid of your car, terrible idea cars are a money sink.
Try to budget you're groceries, I spend about 50$ a week or 200$ a month.
Hope things improve for you.
Roommate for a condo or a house cuz thats also atleast 900$ a month
Hello would love to learn more in living in Canada
In Nigeria you can survive a month with $300 bruhh
Same in Ghana .900dollars on rent is way too much
@J OneLife wow
I dey tell you, $100 to $150 here in Nigeria is a comfortable amount for a students monthly allowance
Min wage is also $50. You aint going to make $300 a month except you have a very good job. Its not easy to get a good job too. Except you're a Doctor or a physio (like me) or some professions that are relatively easy to find a job. The last time i checked i still got no job. I don't think think its totally about how much you spend but also how much you are empowered to make in a month
How does an immigrant student finance such a lifestyle?
$300 monthly for gas? Car insurance? Taxi's? Gym membership? Netflix? Restaurants? You're right, you cannot pay for school costs on a part time job? How do you manage? Rich parents? Work under the table??
Work under the table adding two hours over the 20 hour limit annnnnd MAXIMIZING ON SUMMMER JOBS....try working in the theme park it really helped me last year
You didn't say how much medical Insurance cost?
Which university are you at?
Hi Mr Peter. Can you tell us more about staying in Regina as an international student. Can an international student also join a soccer team there.
You can join the soccer team if you’re good. We did a video on University of Regina and spoke about it there
@@VCityglobal Mr Peter. How about working in part time in Regina. Because I heard that some companies may offer some bonuses like medical or something like that. And is Regina cheapest city to live in.
Isn't health insurance required there, bro?
what about if you're on full scholarship?
Bruh you talked about working more hours but doesn't the government limit the working hours to 20 hours a week?
It's actually restricted....
can cash job actually if anyone wants to earn more,: which actually is illegal but many do in big cities like Toronto
I've never heard that before government restricts your hours?
Are you from Vancouver BC?
Very salient points. There are some memberships I can do without though as you mentioned.
But if you are someone who can manage mony efficiently you can save money.
1) Get enough home and continental ingredients when in your country or have family buy and send it for you.
2) Home cooked meals and eat out when you dont have to cook. (you have no idea how much you save)
3) Wonder if discount stores like Lidl and Aldi are in Canada though not bothered to check.
4) Share an apartment if you cannot afford one.
5) Transport, carpooling, the gym and entertainment are important (to me though).
Most importantly....DONT KEEP UP WITH THE JONSES.
Signed; Just a normal Nigerian.
Oh my. Why is the standard of living so expensive in Canada. Also, you spend $300 a month and still buy food with friends. Wow!!!. Please learn how to cut down costs even though you have the money to spend. You can share you netflix account with someone and share the payment and you can also share you flat with someone.
Family also
Wow, I go to college in US from Africa and I spend no more than 800 a month in all, maybe 850
You have some kind of scholarship?
Dragnesi yeah. All I pay for is rent, utilities, food
You forgot hydro bill, water and WiFi ..oh and taxes
I thought Canada had a free health insurance scheme like the
UK (NHS)???
As a Canadian born and raised here ..they say it's free..lol..the high income tax that comes off our cheques pays for this..the care u get sucks totally :(
Lol you are a student and you spend more than a worker working 40h a week in Canada :D
You forgot out the outrageous phone bills
