Best Cities In Canada To Move To Right Now
Dr. Odd

Have you recently been feeling under the weather with a bad case of wanderlust? Do you hold a special place in your heart for quality healthcare, genuinely kind people, and maple syrup? It may be time to pack your bags and head north to Canada.

We’ve picked out the best places in Canada for students to move to. Right. Now. So choose your favorite, say “that’s the one for me, eh!” and start learning the metric system.

1. Montreal

This absolutely beautiful city is the perfect place to escape to after experiencing the worst political year in American history. Montreal, home to McGill University and Concordia University, was recently named “Canada’s Best Student City,” so you’re automatically going to love it here. It has everything you love about a classic American college town without actually being American. It’s also close to New York, so you can still make day trips to your favorite hot dog stand if you want.

2. Victoria

All the way on the other side of Canada is Victoria. West Coast Americans will feel right at home in this bay city located right by the state of Washington. Here, Victorian architecture and outdoor activities are in abundance, so you’ll especially love this place if you fancy art history or if you’re one of those dedicated children of the earth that likes to go to the greenbelt year-round. Victoria is home to many students and retired people. Thus, the “grandma” of your friend group can finally have a safe haven in Victoria.

3. Toronto

For reference, Toronto is the one with that big pointy building that looks similar to the Space Needle. It’s the most populated city in all of Canada and the 4th largest city in North America behind Mexico City, New York City and Los Angeles. Toronto is a famous hub for both business and the arts, meaning B.S. and B.A. majors can live here equally and harmoniously. It’s also where the television series Degrassi has been set since the franchise was first founded in 1979. In your new life in Toronto, you can peacefully spend time thinking about how Drake used to attend “Degrassi High” while taking in the beautiful scenery.

4. Vancouver

Vancouver is celebrated for its ethnic diversity and large LGBTQ community. It’s like San Francisco but better! Located just northwest of Washington, Vancouver has something for everyone: mountains, a coastline, big skyscrapers, and a big glowing golf-ball-shaped building known as “the Telus World of Science.” That sounds DOPE.

5. Ottawa

Aside from the fact that Ottawa is the capital of Canada, the city’s gorgeous skyline belongs on the cover of a Canada travel guide. It has a mix of modern structures and buildings that look like European castles, reflecting the city’s unique and welcoming vibe. The city of Ottawa also has “sister cities” social and political agreements with Beijing, Cairo and Catania; in other words, Ottawa is that kid that always killed it at Model UN debates. Additional bonus: Dan Aykroyd is from Ottawa. Who ya gonna call?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
