Life in Canada ??

[Snowisland]

The weather is different depending on where you live. I am in a small rural town in Northern BC. Snow started October 1st this year and will probably snow a little more this month. However, there are places in BC with much less snow and nicer weather. If you snowboard, snow ski, hunt, play ice hockey or enjoy similar things, this would be great for you.
If you prefer summer weather, there are places in BC with beaches and much warmer weather. Try outside of Vancouver, smaller towns. Vancouver is very expensive. The Shuswap is nice, too.
I enjoy the less crowded, less people area where I live. Less of a rushed pace. Traffic is not congested.
The pay is higher here because of the far northern conditions. Cost of living is also high.
You just have to decide what part of the country is best for you.

I agree job hunting is a challenge if one is at management level back at the country of origin. Even if you are willing to take lower-level job, employers would question your loyalty big time.

However, if you're "fed up" with your stressful lifestyle in where you are, want to quit anyway and have been saving, you can give a shot here. Lifestyle is what anyone would enjoy, you just need to figure out a way to earn some income. Even low income can get by an average lifestyle.

If you dont have a minimum wage job on full time basis then be prepared to live under poverty.
If you are on better/higher wage job then you dont have to worry even you can survive doing part time.

That's nonsense. If you are unemployed, you don't necessary have to live under proverty. You can live and enjoy your good life without even working.

Not only Canada. I guess you don't travel much.

I guess the social welfare is stong in canada if thats possible. Good for canadian people & govt.
I have heard that nordic countries have the best social welfare systems in the world.

Why would they necessarily need to depend on welfare? Unlike Canada and nordic countries, in tax haven regions in many parts of the world, they don't pay so much taxes as they do in Canada.

Not quite sure what you mean here.. If on EI, life is not that luxurious at all, a few hundred bucks a week don't really make you go far or have a good life. Or at least my interpretation of a good life is then somewhat different from yours..
