People don't believe this. All Canadian cities with a population of less than a million look like rural areas. These cities have small city centers dotted with homeless people and drug addicts. There are only a few normal cities in Canada where it is almost impossible to afford to buy a home. By buying real estate at such prices, you support speculation and increase the price of real estate in the region even more. The real price for real estate and rent should be 2-3 times less than the declared one. People with regular salaries cannot afford to live here normally.

So sorry to let you know that Kelowna is EXPENSIVE, VERY VERY VERY. I've been living here since 2021 and groceries increased more than 55% in 2 years, rent is almost as expensive as Victoria or Vancouver (there are no 1bed ap for less than 1200, not even in Rutland). The city is surrounded by mountains, so it has no more growing space, what made the rents so absurd. YES, IT IS BEAUTIFULL and I don't think I'll ever move from here, but I don't reccomend it for newcomers.

I used to live in Lethbridge from 2015 to 2017, it’s indeed cheap place for international students but I would never recommend the city for new comers honestly speaking. The city is one of the most dangerous place in Canada and there are very few opportunities for those seeking the PR. Most of students (including me at the time) moved to Calgary for better opportunities and quality of life. It’s very common to see syringes in the parks and streets and a LOT of homeless with mental health issues that can be dangerous sometimes. My apartment got broken into twice in only 3 years… I would recommend Medicine Hat instead which has about the same size and cost of living, but much more safe than Lethbridge.

Perfect cities for students with families or if you don't like social interaction, because are very boring.

Most important, there is no freedom of expression in Canada. This means that you cannot speak your mind at the workplace or in any place that is not your home at risk of getting fired, demoted, or having your bank account frozen with no court order. If this is what you are looking for, then this is the place to be. You will also have to work just to pay taxes if you come to Canada, regardless of how much you make. In exchange you will get a broken health system, unaffordable housing, a dysfunctional justice system, a corrupt and ideologically-oriented education, a super boring social life, and a place where it's hard to make good friends. There are much beller places in the world today, where people are treated well and you can have a great social life. The govt does not treat you well here and crime is rising quickly, Do your homework before coming.

For sure! It depends on which places we’re talking about and the quality of education, though. Colleges in Canada have started charging exorbitant prices for mediocre diplomas for international students who later find themselves sitting for years in express entry pools waiting for the promise of PR. You could find higher quality education still living in a developed country if you do your research and maths well! 😉 After all, let’s be honest, the lure of most of Canadian colleges is to attract students who want to study in English and get a PR, not sell them academic excellence. There are top tanked universities here as well, but most international students don’t have neither financial nor academic means to get there. Greetings!

@ronl1633 7 ай бұрын

Affordable in Canada is very misleading, newcomers do your research and have a very good paying job before you get here life here costs lots and lots of money.
