5 affordable places to live in Canada for students & newcomers

I'm going to tell you one thing right now: you don't have to go to the big cities when you choose to study in Canada, there are many cities to choose from and Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, that's not all of Canada. Today I share with you five underrated cities. For international

students

and all

newcomers

, honestly, make sure to watch this video until the end to discover the real Canadian gem. According to me, the first city on my list is Calgary, Alberta. Calgary has become so popular lately, with 1.5 million people. I chose to

live

there. I feel like Calgary is the perfect option if you want to

live

in a big city but don't want to spend as much money on housing in terms of education.

Calgary has a lot to offer, there are many universities like University of Calgary Saint Mary's University Amherst University, but they also have some universities like Bow Valley College and Sait. By the way, all the educational institutions I mentioned in this video offer graduate work permits. We are not interested in private education here. The average house price in Calgary is not that bad for a one bedroom apartment, you will pay between 12 and 1400 and a single person living in Calgary will need an additional twelve hundred dollars for living expenses. As for PR Pathways, I feel like Alberta is amazing.

They have many immigration programs and to be honest, they are much easier than Ontario or Quebec. The main industries in Calgary, Alberta are diesel extraction and some tourism, so if you plan to study or work in those industries. Alberta is the place, but also Alberta will be perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors and nature because there are so many beautiful parks around Alberta that you literally drive for 2 or 3 hours. You are in the Rocky Mountains. Have you seen this beautiful one? The next underrated. The city is Ottawa, that's where I studied. Ottawa is a pretty big city, there are 1 million people living there and to be honest when I moved to Ottawa it felt like a village.

I'm not going to lie when I visited Ottawa. A few years ago, my God, it felt like a city, they had built a Metro, they had built a lot of beautiful things. Ottawa has changed okay so if I was born eight years ago now it's becoming like this city like Big City Vibe and what I really loved Ottawa is the location because you're two hours from Montreal you're five hours from Toronto so that you are literally in the middle if you want to go see your friends in Montreal, two hours away if you want to see your friends on the weekend in Toronto five incredible hours and let's not forget the educational institutions in Ottawa we have oroyu we have the University Carlton but we also have Algonquin College, that's where I started, there's also the college burial and there's also less room, the housing could be at a higher price compared to Calgary so I would pay 1500 for a room but the expenses per day would be the same as in Calgary, between 12 and 1300 per person per month, as for PR Pathways, well, it's Ontario, it has Express. and tree, you have a provincial nominee, all the basic things, everything is available for you in Ottawa, as for jobs, you may know that Ottawa is the center of government, so there are many government jobs, but not always It's like I know there are a lot of office jobs.

IT positions, there are many positions in call centers. I would also say that tourism and communications are very popular in Ottawa because I don't know how many people visit Ottawa a year, but I look forward to it every time I go to Parliament. Many people trust me and if you reach this point in the video I want you to comment. I will move to Canada so you can summon all your desires and manifest your new life in Canada. You know what Tick Tock girls like. the life you want share in the comments I'm moving to Canada and we're going to the next city and the next city is Winnipeg Manitoba I rarely talk about Manitoba but this city is on my list for a reason Winnipeg is a little smaller than Ottawa is around it of 750,000 people, well, it's still a bit silly, right?

Manitoba has three universities, the University of Manitoba, the University of Winnipeg and Mitt, but there are also universities that are technical schools, so there is Red River College Polytechnic Booth University College and the Canadian Forces school. Aerospace again Winnipeg is not a huge city so the cost of living won't be very high so you can save on your housing, like PR again, provincial candidate again. Express entry, you can apply for those programs basically from anywhere in Canada except my favorite Quebec, so take the opportunity and apply for Express entry. The strongest industries according to the Winnipeg website are agriculture, pharmaceuticals, aerospace and a lot of heavy stuff besides mining, so if you plan to be a miner or work in the medical industry like pharmaceuticals, Winnipeg.

It would be amazing for you, and again, if you like quiet, peaceful

places

, I feel like Winnipeg would be perfect for you since you live in a big city, but it's not like Toronto or Vancouver with five million people living there. yes, a great city, a pretty quiet city, the next city is an interesting option and it is Cornwall, Ontario, this city is literally like a village compared to the rest of the cities on this list because only 50,000 people live there, but what is perfect is the location. If you like Miss Yulia and you love Montreal but you also don't want to live in Quebec because Quebec is like you know, we all know what Quebec is.

Cornwall is located an hour and a half from Montreal and an hour and a half from Ottawa, so you can live in Ontario, but go to Montreal for the weekend. I feel like, first of all, it's awesome because you'll be able to play through provincial nominee and express entry, which doesn't work in Quebec, so you're fine, but there are also some. educational institutions in Cornwall, so we have Saint Lawrence College there and we have Lawrence University, although the choice is literally a college or university. I feel like Cornwall is a great city, if you want to come study, get your degree, save on living expenses, party. to big cities like Montreal and Ottawa and it's perfect a one bedroom apartment in Cornwall will cost you 900 1000 uh try to find a locker for 900 in Toronto or Vancouver you can barely rent a parking spot for that amount of money as for PR I mentioned We already have provincial laminine, here we have Express entry, but Cornwall was also testing the agriculture pilot.

I feel like they closed it as of now, but if they open it again, you will have a better chance of getting your PR because you will. Having this pilot, Cornwall would be a perfect place for people who just want a quiet life but also want to go to the cities of Montreal for the weekend. I feel like we've been to Cornwall so many times because all the fun things like apple picking or like a corn maze, everything falls, you know, Miss Healing Labs, all the fall activities are in this area, so every time we go somewhere is the Cornell area, so if you have kids, let's say you're planning on starting a family.

Cornwall is amazing and the gem on my list is Kitchener and Waterloo, firstly Kitchener and Waterloo, they are literally neighbors so people often put them together. The whole area has about 400,000 people, so it's a little small, but I mean it's okay, Kitchener and Waterloo. They are so close to Toronto, literally an hour drive, but the rent will be much cheaper because you are not in the Toronto area. Some of the universities and colleges have campuses there, for example, George Brown or Conestoga. There is also the University of Waterloo. McMaster University and Wilfred Laurier University and if you are in IT or engineering you know that Waterloo is the biggest goat of all time because Google has an office there, a lot of big companies are based there because Waterloo is basically a tech hub and the La The best part is that Google hires a lot of interns from those universities from those faculties, so if you want to build a career, let's say in it or devise some plan to go to Canada Waterloo, listen to me, go to Waterloo, get that internship at Google and then I.

I'm waiting for a postcard that says thank you, I miss you and I work as a senior engineer at Google again, not all towns are born small and even if they are, you can always buy a car and go to bigger

places

, living in a smaller town means that you will. You'll be saving on rent so you can buy a car and go to a big city for the weekend. As a person who lived in a big city, you won't always spend all your time there. You have your schedule from Monday to Friday. you have to spend in a big city is literally the weekend, so maybe it's worth living in a smaller city while you study and then moving to a bigger one and that's all for today, if this video is useful to you, do not do it. forget to subscribe to my channel, like this video and I'll see you next week, goodbye foreigner.
