The only place for you to live in Canada is the Lower Mainland of BC, aka Vancouver or Victoria.
Victoria has probably the best climate in Canada but there's not much work there. Vancouver has stuff going on but it's rainier and occasionally gets cold. For a few days each winter, it will drop below zero and in most years there is a dusting of snow although it doesn't last long. Schedule this period (basically January) as vacation time.
Of greater concern is that Vancouver is expensive and rental accommodations are subpar. Forget about buying a house unless you are rich. The transit infrastructure is mediocre and the city is plagued by terrible architecture and a general blandness. This is offset by the tremendous potential for outdoors fun: skiing, sailing, rock climbing (in nearby Squamish), etc.
- bmh_ca 12y agoI can't speak for Vancouver, though I hear it is great, but some may also consider Niagara fairly mild. Probably not as nice as Vancouver area, but still not bad.
