NOTE: I was thinking of Montreal because of the multicultural backgrounds being the more ideal environment for an immigrant to move to and because I’ve been fascinated with the National Film Board of Canada since I’ve seen their works (The Cat Came Back, Ryan, Boogie Doodle, The Sandman, Subconscious Password with John Dilworth) and I’ve been fascinated with living in the country since I would love to go to another country soon and sometimes I decide on here.

Any other city or province suggestions welcome.

    If you can handle the cold winters, Montreal is probably the best choice. Bonus points if you know French or are willing to learn (not necessary though yet). If you don’t want to deal with the cold, and don’t mind rain, Vancouver is best for it’s outdoors to urban ratio. Very multicultural too. Especially if you like Asian cuisines 🫡

      Vancouver is pretty expensive, but the metro area is definitely a nice option, especially with the transit that is improving.

      Montreal is a great city but you end up being at the mercy of the QC government’s language protection laws. So knowing French, or trying to learn it will be a must.

        Indeed.

        There are pros and cons to every city and town in our vast country 🙂

        Just a matter of what someone can handle and prioritize!
