As far as jobs, it depends on your field. Both cities have lots of jobs - focused in different areas. You can go to a job website and browse the openings in both cities to get an idea.samoo said:Thank you

If the basement is a legal unit with it's own furnace and maintained by the landlord, there are no ventilation problems. If there is a shared furnace, sometimes the return air for the upstairs unit will vent into your house! That means any smells upstairs makes flood your house. If the furnace is weak, check the air filter and ask the landlord to replace it if it's dirty (or you can vacuum it for a temporary fix).Boni M said:@ amikety
Can u pls tell me the drawbacks of having a basement accommodation for a family of three. Is it ok in terms of Light and ventilation.....
Thanks Steaky,steaky said:Since your first port of entry in Canada is Vancouver, you will do your landing formality in Vancouver. Your connection flight to Calgary is a domestic flight.
It's illegal to rent a 1 bedroom apartment to 3 people. It doesn't matter that 1 is a child or baby.ublerum said:I am looking for a basement or 1 bedroom apt in NE Calgary ..I am with my hubby and one son who is 5 years old. ! I prefer any place close to LRT or bus stop since we don't have a car ryte now! I would appreciate if someone would help in this regard.Thanks
I dont suggest you to live in a basement.. I haven't tried it for summers, but in winters.. its hell! Too cold, very less air exhaust, dry throats too.. you will have to ask your tenant upstairs to DONT TURN OFF THE HEATING, dont cook strange foods etc etc..ublerum said:I am looking for a basement or 1 bedroom apt in NE Calgary ..I am with my hubby and one son who is 5 years old. !

The windows can be small. They are required to be large enough you can escape out of them in case of a fire. Try to look at basements that are only semi-submerged or walk-out. They can have bigger windows. My windows are big enough to grow plants in winter.
Sometimes a basement can be cold in winter. Extra sweaters, socks, and blankets are a good idea. On the other hand, they can stay cool in summer.
I'm sure it is, but all the houses I've been in have forced air except 1 had radiators (very old house). I hate baseboard heating - grew up with water filled. Takes space out of a room and makes gurgling sounds...steaky said:So electric baseboard heating are not in use in Calgary? Otherwise, it would be very convenient for users to adjust whatever temperature they feel comfort inside their own unit.
