permanently moving from Brampton/Mississauga to Calgary or Edmonton

[moga_PB29]

We husband - wife and 1 kid live in Brampton/Mississauga, Houses are very expensive in Brampton/Mississauga area, we want to only live in Punjabi-Indian/Desi community and we have planned to move permanently to CALGARY/EDMONTON (ALBERTA), we need not work/find job in Oil/energy sector in Alberta, (because we both are medical healthcare professionals, I almost passed license exams, will be soon ready to work in Canada, and Wife will study next year, so getting job in our medical-healthcare profession not an issue in Calgary/Edmonton). Weather does not issue for us, and we can happily live in low temp winters in Calgary/Edmonton.

Anyone Indian / desi living in Calgary/Edmonton from last few years, and please advise us about how's life in Calgary/Edmonton, house (small/medium/average) prices in Nort-east, North-west area in Calgary/Edmonton cities.

The few/main reason why we are planning to move from Brampton/Mississauga to Calgary or Edmonton cities are
1. gas prices (i heard gas prices low in Calgary/Edmonton as compared to Missisuaga/Brampton/Etobicoke area),
2. I heard sale tax is 5 % only (as compared to BC & Ontario is 12-13 %),
3. Small size average cost in average NE/NW area in Calgary Edmonton are 450 k to 475 k , bigger house cost 550k-650 k in Calgary NE area, while in Brampton/Mississauga cost is 550k/600 k-700 k for semi-detached, and 650k-900k for average detached home (we dt need a bigger house). is that true ?
