What do you guys think of Canada?

^ meh… most of the time its just to dudes rolling around on the floor.

QC like 3 hours from Montreal. Wouldn’t go unless you have a specific reason. If I had to make a pie chart of where to spend time, 30% Toronto, 70% Montreal - St Lawrence Street.

Canada is pretty awesome - ive had nothing but solid experiences. If Vancouver wasnt so expensive i’d highly consider moving there.

^ Whatsyourgovt - LinkedIn says it’s your birthday! Wooop woop. Also - agreed. Vancouver’s awesome. Mountains, oceans, and lots of outdoorsy activities. Office hours tend to be on the earlier side to parallel NYC/Toronto - this means you have time to get out and do something at the end of a work day.

I live in Quebec City, the old Quebec City is amazing and has some of the most beautiful spots in Canada. The problem is that it’s quite small and you can pretty much see everything worthy in a day or 2. It’s perfect for a relax romantic weekend but it has no nightlife, so don’t go there if you want to party (Montreal is perfect for that)

You don’t have to speak french to visit, almost everyone under 50 speaks english decently, especially in customer services.

Enjoy your stay!

^Whats up persistent! thanks for the shout out - and i knew you would agree with me on vancouver. I’ll add to that list cleanliness (both air and streets), best sashimi, and great people.

Happy Bday brosef

The only association for me is Hockey and Niagara Falls. However, regarding high European background I would expect to see more interest for European football by Canadians.

happy barf day son, get smashed on some firewhisky :+1:

i don’t think I’m gonna have time for QC. Is Ottawa worth checking out?

Soccer is definitely on the rise here for the past couple of years.

We have some of the best supported MLS franchises and the best team in the league (never thought I’d say that) that pulls in max capacity (30k) a game. There are streets long World Cup parties in parts of Toronto… it’d say it’s better supported in Toronto per capita than most American cities.

Cold but seems favorable place to immigrate for many. I visited Ontario but didn’t like it so much. No coffee bars with terrace on each corner, just Indian selling Hot Dog. Couldn’t smoke everywhere. Alcohol was more expensive than in my place. Good meal was expensive as well.

Some very interesting articles comparing US and Canadian immigration policies.

Although each has it’s biased slant, all pretty much say one thing in common: Canada primarily admits people who will most likely be productive members of society (highly-skilled workers and entrepreneurs/investors), while the US primarily admits relatives of people who are already here regardless of how likely they are to be financially stable once they get here. Not surprisingly, Canadians in general view immigration as a good thing, Americans not so much.

^ I know, I need a visa just to visit the US as a tourist but not for Canada.

Canada brings in.

Fact of the day:

Read the articles. Even the article in liberal NPR says: “Canada knows what it wants: high-skilled workers and business entrepreneurs like Thomas. As such, Canada assigns points to prospective newcomers for job skills, education and language proficiency.” Do they let in a small proportion of “poor” immigrants? Of course, but they are the minority.

Dear

you or your parents. You’re all immigrants. Silly discussion;)
