I live in Victoria BC. Tons of immigrants, most are ESL, no issues. Definitely not one of Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver/Calgary/Edmonton. Where are the issues exactly? Because I've lived in quite a few places here and don't know what you're talking about.
- hollerith 7y agoA city (town?) with many ferries a day going between it and Vancouver is not a typical rural Canadian location.
- tempestn 7y agoEven without the proximity to Vancouver, Victoria is hardly rural. It's a small to medium city of around 350k people, as well as being the capital city of BC. The west coast in general is also quite a small-L liberal place. So to answer the parent's question, you would expect to find more intolerance in smaller towns in the interior and the north.
- blaser-waffle 7y agoVictoria is also surprisingly expensive relative to its size, and has comparatively few jobs. Great place to be if you can swing it, though. Better weather than Seattle/Vancouver.
- soperj 7y agoThis was all in response to being outside the big 5 being terrible for immigrants, which is clearly wrong. People go to Vancouver relatively infrequently. It's a hour and 45 minute ferry ride, but then there's basically an hour on each side getting to the ferry plus waiting in line for the ferry(which can be a very long time if it's busy). It's not something people here do regularly. I fly elsewhere more often than I go to Vancouver. Also lol to town.
