In CNN's list of the most livable 10 cities in the world of 2014 , Vancouver and Toronto are listed. Vancouver is in the third and Toronto is in the fourth place. Canada is the only country that has 2 cities included in the list.
Vancouver and Toronto are very different. Vancouver is well-known for its beautiful scenery and nice weather. It is a nice city for tourism and retirement. Toronto is the commercial and international city. Many big international world headquarters are located in Toronto. But Toronto has a long and cold winter. Not everyone likes it.
It is not easy to choose a city for newcomers to Canada because it is such a big country. Newcomers choose a city as a destination may be based on the following several factors:
- You may already have family members or friends in that city.
- The city you have visited and fell in love with it.
- You have done your research and believe it is the place you like.
Someone has shared a story with me about choosing a city. The family originally wanted to settle down in a city where their friend settled. Before they left for Canada, they attend a related seminar. They met someone who shared an experience with living in a small city in the northern province. They considered that it a good city for their children to learn English as only fewer immigrants going there because the weather is colder there. So they settled down in the small city. The husband landed a job shortly. People there are very friendly and helpful to them. They think they had made a good decision to move there.
