Where in BC was she living?
I also heard that in order to find work easily in Ottawa you have to speak French but I'm not sure about this one. It may or may not be some random rant by people here and there.

BC was nice too, Its expensive but if you are into the outdoors its a beautiful place to be, and has the nicest weather in canada.
on that note Alberta and manitoba and saskatchewan were frozen wastelands, but to be fair i never been to calgary which i heard is nice.
The territories are ok to visit in the summer at least once in your life but to live there you better be making tons of money or else its not worth it.

but it is still a nice city to live. Plus if you have a good paying government job you can still afford a house and have a good lifestyle.
French helps to get work there for sure since most jobs are government.

In canada its all down to a few select cities and outside of that it can suck unless you are into the country life, which im not.

-Montreal is cheaper housing and rent wise. But its an old city and for a lot of people it feels dirty (which is true in some neighborhood, St-Michel *cough*)
-Quebec City is, well its Quebec city. Its a different experience but I've been there like once or twice in my life and have little intention of ever going back simply for lack of interest in doing so
-Ottawa. Nice and overall kind of a laid back place while still not being a small town either. To me Ottawa is a mix of a small town lifestyle shoved into a semi big city.
Those are the only ones I've been to sadly. Even right now, I'm not in Montreal per say. I'm in a remote town yet still kinda close to it just by getting on the highway. 30-40min drive. Idealy if I was to move to either BC or Ontario that's probably what I would do. Find a smaller city/neighborhood kind of close to the big city.

Do you guys still have to do all 4 parts in one go? Down here you can do 1 at a time. Plan on taking first part in July.

i hated accounting so much, but if you like it and are good at it, the world can be your oyster. my buddy has his CA and is making close to 300k or so a year with a company. but he is on the high end of what he does.
he got kinda lucky cause most accountants dont make half as much.

Well tl;dr for anyone that doesn't know:
* My dad has owned several houses/properties in Toronto
* Owned first house at 23
* Owned several at a time renting them out.
* Owned several in now very expensive areas.
* Didn't want to deal with real estate anymore so sold off all but one extra property as retirement fun.
* House sits empty while price goes up because of market.
* We live in smaller house than the empty one.
* I could have had my own water front condo.

The other this is I'd probably have to live there as is which means will everything in it. Did I also mention my dad is a hoarder? Not the messy type just buy and collect a lot of crap type that may be useful or was useful once. Which means no one could or would want to live there.
Also the rules oh man on top of the hoarding did I mention my dad is crazy? Generally part of the hoarding.
It's better that I live on my own in my own place. This is one of those too good to be true deals.

My dad has plans to knock down a wall in the basement bathroom to put a shower in because there needs to be an extra shower. Also no one but him is allowed to use the upstairs one because of his rules and he's fuuking crazy.

Plus you get to cheer for the Senators lolz. Pics of sister? ;P
My older sister used to live in BC, she said it was one of the best places ever to live. I'm moving to Ottawa in 15 days. I hope its better then Halifax this place is boring as fuk.

Parents bought a place in the early 90's for 300k and sold it last year for 1.5mil I grew up in that house and had so many memories. Was hoping I'd get it when they croaked. Now I have no chance unless I win the lotto or something.

Well my mom knows I'm not going to live in Toronto because of my career route. My dad still thinks I'm going to live in Toronto yet has no idea about my major. My brother has the only chance with his job but doesn't really want to live within Toronto maybe outside of it but still it's super expensive.
