[quote:Anonymous Coward 833681:MV82NjYxMDBfMTQ3OTAyOTBfMTZCRjAwMTU=] Stay where you are. Canada is very expensive. I live in Toronto and the cost of living and the average jobs don't meet up. Unless you have a second income from a spouse, you'll be in trouble. Transportation in Toronto sucks. If you don't work in your really local vicinity, you'll be fucked. Lots of people so if you are coming from L.A., you will get sick of it here. People are really rude too. I don't know where all these people are seeing friendly Canadians. There is a huge amount of immigration so if you are not used to that, it could be an issue. I don't mind it but i knew people who have left because of it. Their building smelled like "spices" and hated it. Canada is terribly overrated and the jobs are NOT that plentiful in Toronto. You better have a good list of top degrees and solid work experience or you'll be out of luck. Many post grads are working at supermarkets or other minimum jobs due to lack of opportunties. I went to a job ad for a call centre for 50 position and there was a total of 1,400 applicants, mostly immigrants. Please think twice about coming here. It's NOT the hype or Oasis from America you think it will. It has it's ups, like healthcare and a few other things but unless you come from money or have some to put a business up, I'd stay away.
