Hi all,

I want to ask about the best and cheapest place to live in Canada as new immigrant according to the following criteria:

1- A family of 4 persons (2 adults 2 kids).

2- The fastest place to process citizenship application.

3- Cost of living very cheap and affordable including everything.

4- Best schools and medical services.

5- Big Appartment of 2 bedrooms unfurnished.

and last how much the monthly payment will be for everything.

Thank you guys waiting ur advice.

This is a personal choice, what is "best" for me, may be terrible for you.

Do you have ties to any specific area of Canada?
What is your profession?

Note that fast citizenship applications don't exist; there is no rush, as you would already be in Canada :)

Finding very cheap living and the best schools is unlikely. Google "best schools in canada".

Do you want to live in any specific province?

Do you want to be in a big city, smaller town?

What do you want to do with your family time, would the pastime be urban or rural?

You really need to narrow your selection criteria.

hi guy!

I just want to live in Canada but I have no idea where is the best place to stay. my immigration application is PNP, anyone can give me an advice which province is the best place to settle. I just want to live in rural area because I believe the cost of living in this area is cheaper, but preferably near or has easy access to city.

It is a personal decision.

As an example - In the winter, living "close" to a city may not be good enough for you, the snow can be deep and roads do close until the ploughs go through :)
IMO The costs usually balance out, if you travel a long way for your job (because you live in the countryside), then it will cost you time and money.
Some people live in the cities because it is more convenient, even though the costs are higher.

Like I said, a personal choice.

There is nothing called best and cheapest place, if you are living in Ontario, you can come to Jane and Finch, thats really cheap but you have to compromise on the lives of your family, make sure you are wearing bullet proof jacket, and your kids will be influenced by other messed up kids in the neighbourhood.

If you need a good place to live you have to have to spend money and not be a miser, like good neighbourhood and schools and descent and civilized people.

Whats the rush on getting the citizenship? you are here and thats all that matters. There is no such thing as rushed citizenship. You'll have to spend 1095 days physically in Canada and thats the rule. Once you have spent the days it takes about another year before you get your citizenship

I think Canadian cities have undergone significant changes in the last few years. I wouldn't recommend staying in Toronto at first. Try out your luck elsewhere, as Toronto has a very "city" vibe, and one you may have difficulty leaving later on - even if you want it. I found this list of some other places you can consider. https://canadahustle.com/9-best-places-to-live-in-canada-an-overview/
Since your location is Surrey, why didn't you mention there instead of Toronto? Except for new buildings and demolishing old ones, there's not much change in Surrey in the last few years.

Seen tons of my friends stuck in Toronto, and unable to move out even when they want to. It's important to find a place you want to live in once you first come to Canada, as can be difficult to make the move later on. Also, Surrey is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada. Don't love it, but you can't compare the beauty of British Columbia with a city like Toronto.
