Canadians:

So, I'm seriously considering to move over to Canada from Australia pretty soon, seeing as it is listed amongst the other top 20 countries also rated for lifestyle satisfaction but I'm guessing that could also be an overrated claim.

What are the upsides and downsides? Why should I move? What's the balance between work life and holiday leave? What's the tax system like? Is there an ongoing EDM scene (with the exception of Armin fan boys)? Etc.


P.S. Terrance & Phillip references aren't necessary.

Cow milk vs Goat milk?

It's a pretty varied place, which means the answers to your questions are pretty varied. A lot will depend on where you're thinking of moving too, what you're into, what kind of lifestyle you want, etc.

Taxes are progressive and fairly substantial ranging from 0 to approx 50% of your taxable income depending on what that is ([[ LINK REMOVED ]]
). Health care is good and largely free, infrastructure is comparable to the rest of the first world, people are people and treat each other as such, work-life balance varies by job and location but typically it's a 5 day week with 10 statutory holidays and 2 weeks vacation entitlement to start.

Re: Canadians:

well where do you plan on going? Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver? (nowhere else in is an option)

Toronto has one of the best EDM and underground scenes in North America with many great local djs and producers, Montreal has a smaller scene but more outdoor festivals and arena massives and Vancouver has random djs from 10 years ago play once a year.

The rest of your questions are stupid. try google. canadian holidays. canadian tax rates. boom theirs ur info.

EDM insight is interesting and helped heaps (thanks). Rest has already been answered almost instantly above anyway which makes google a little too late .

you're going to move from an extreme hot to an extreme cold country how much time do you think you'll need to adjust?

Summers just starting to creep in from the freezing climate that is about to end. Actually I'd rather just feeze my ass off since getting used to the heat here sucks already :P.

here we have lots of ice, wood, and lakes. if you're into living in the forest livestyle and hunting then this is a great place for you.

Our ski resorts employ nothing but Australians, so try working here one summer for a couple of months. It's a whole summer with flight, room and board for you and you get to taste our ski bunnies.

Dude Montreal has just about all the EDM you could ask for. I wouldn't say that our scene is any smaller than Toronto's. In fact, it's probably a hell of a lot more varied than yours. We probably get names here that you guys have never even heard of.

yeah, but it is the french factor that turns people away from montreal.

if you really want to get along with everyone in montreal you need to speak french. no doubt about it.

This is true. Look up Fairmont and try and get a job with them to work at the Banff Springs Hotel, or the Chateau Lake Louise for a winter. You will meet lots of Canadians, have lots of sex, lots of parties, and you can experience the winter/country.

If you like it, then you can work on staying. It's a good start.

You really want to live in Americas Hat? Being so close to so many Republicans across the border sounds like a nightmare to me















Nah it's pretty cool, I've got friends that have live in Toronto and some that still do. They all enjoy it, except the cold sucks.

we don't like australians. go live in florida. fight some crocodiles.

clubbing wise.. montreal...is the clubbing mecca of north america..


if you want to live a comfortable family life with access to tons of drugs...move to vancouver aka china....oh wait


and if you live in toronto..then the rest of canada doesnt exist.
