5 Pros & Cons Of Living In Alberta & Living In Canada⎜Moving To Alberta⎜Moving To Canada 

Are you thinking about moving to Alberta and have some questions? Feel free to reach out to me personally, I’m happy to answer any questions you have! 📧: allthingsrealestateofficial@gmail.com

I've watched 100s or 1000 videos about Canada, but I've never seen any video for which so much time and effort have been put, taking videos are multiple different places.. it's amazing.. also this is the first time I felt like commenting on any of those 1000 videos... great work !!

As someone from Alberta I will say that the cold can be that bad that it undercuts the advantage of a winter. Those days, there just isn't anything to do outside. But, it's not months of it. The amount of days like that are measured in days and weeks. Most of the winter is pleasant. It's pretty easy to adapt Very accurate video.

I do not think anyone can create such informative video about alberta...people who want to know truely about alberta must watch your content...one of the best but under rated content on canada ...keep up the good work... 👍👍

YOU JUST NAILED IT! It was by far THE BEST video of Alberta I've ever seen. I recently found your channel and I'm one of those from Ontario who want to move to Alberta. Your videos are so well prepared and with tunes of information. I'm sharing it with all of my friends from here. Keep up your excellent work!

The efforts, enthusiasm and value packed in the video is beyond commendable, it's just so so good. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !

I've just got my Study Visa approved and I'll be coming to Edmonton this January! Thank you soo much for the useful information presented in such a nice, relaxing manner! I can't wait!!

I love how real you are...the cons are SPOT on and yes you absolutely should be concerned about the cold, it's nuts!!!

What an amazing video. Yout efforts are much much appreciated.

As an immigration professional, I am always happy when people decide to come to Edmonton to study, work, live, and raise a family

Hey, nice video! My family is planning to move to Edmonton in around May-June. Currently we live in Quebec and Alberta seems like our best choice. Quebec is very french and renting apartments is quite expensive as well. We looked at a few townhouses in Edmonton, ( to be specific 3 bedrooms- 2 bathrooms) and the price is so affordable!! Can't wait to move :)

Such an informative video and I love how much efforts you have put into this video to show the real Alberta. The music could have been better but overall it's such a good video. Thank you for this!

You are the only person who is reply the all comments. I appreciate that good quality you have.

Thank you for this update ❤

Great video right here. I really want to immigrate to Canada, but indecisive about the province that fits me best......After watching this,I fell in love with alberta. The video was quite informative 👍 👌

Hello, from Ukraine, Kharkiv! Great vlog! Amazing! The best vlog about Alberta I 've ever seen! Helpful, informative. We think of relocating to Canada and right now Alberta is one of the most affordable and interesting province for us.

i swear this is the best video about calgary on youtube. Answered all my questions, thank you so much

I’m living in mumbai right now and we would consider 16 degrees as cold winter temperature and everyone would be seen in warm clothes. But I guess after months of freezing cold temperatures the body does get used to the cold climate and then 16 becomes a pleasant summer temp for most. Amazing video by the way!

Hai, your videos are really informative.. planning to immigrate to Canada… I am getting lot of knowledge by going through videos

this is the most informative video I have found about Alberta. I am hoping to move to Canada soon and I'd probably be heading to Fort McMurray for school but once I am done there, i'd most probably explore other parts of Alberta

Canada is absolutely breathtaking 😍

Awesome video! I really like how unique the topics were. I'm hoping to move to Alberta next year from New Zealand!

Seriously considering the Big Move from Ontario in 3 years when the kids are done school. Starting to look into it now...this video is terrific!!

Thank you for such a wonderful video! I find Alberta to be so beautiful and the housing market is a big appeal!

This is a really good video for ppl moving from Africa and the Caribbean!

Excellent summary of the video. Thank you for sharing this video, and I agree with most of the pros and cons. I will move to Alberta in a heartbeat.

So very thankful for this video. Very happy that my husband and I will be exploring out your way soon :). This is the best video I’ve seen. I love that you had so much helpful information!!

The best video I have ever watched. I am moving to Edmonton in a couple of months.

Great video. Thorough, informative, and you are a great presenter. I'm strongly considering moving to Alberta, and this video helped a lot. Thank you.

a very honest video featuring the pros and cons

Man I'm sold on... Will be moving next year to alberta bcz of this video

Horseshoe Lake looks stunning! And you had me at no crowds. Definitely would check it out for the tranquility. I came across it awhile back while looking up hidden gems in Alberta. I’m from Edmonton so I hope to visit there soon! It’s been so hard with the Pandemic.

I lived in Alberta before and you did an excellent job representing the Province almost makes me wanna move back well done thank you

This is a super informative video! We are moving to Alberta from Sask and really excited!

I am moving out there in June 2022 just not sure where yet but i am exited !!! getting out of Ontario

Your energy alone makes me want to move here 💖 I'm looking around before leaving new Zealand

Great video, but you forgot about Waterton NP - it's just as amazing as Jasper or Banff, and often less crowded.

We moved to Central Alberta and the things we came to realize are that food, home insurance, electricity bills, and natural gas bills are very expensive. It does get very cold in winter for a few weeks, it’s often very windy, the possibility of major hail storms, and it stays daylight during summer months up until at times 10:30pm. If you need to buy a used car, the large majority that are for sale have over 200,000kms and still expensive, especially considering mileage. This is important to note as the out of province vehicle inspection is very strict and you’re better off getting rid of your older car where you relocated from as the cost to repairs as result of inspection are propably more than what your own used car is worth. Having said all that, we stand by our choice of having relocated here in Central Alberta. We absolutely love it here. The people are great, close proximity to the mountains are major reasons one would want to live here. The amazing beautiful scenery within relatively short drives are worth the relocation alone. Other pros to consider are the 5% sales tax, lower home prices in many towns and cities, and if you ski or snowboard, Lake Louise, Sunshine Village, Castle ski resorts will entertain and humble you.

I live in Labrador City right now and I'm planning on taking a trip to Alberta to see if I want to move there, thank you for making this video it helps

I love your video and I will love to know more on how to get to Canada in Alberta

love your video bro. you are truely making ultimate video. if i am shifting alberta i would love to see you. 😎

Being Landlocked is the best! Usually it will tend to have *Better Weather*

i really enjoyed watching video. its very very interesting bro.

Very Nice Video. Alberta is a beautiful place to live! Thanks!

I always love the badlands as well

Hey! I can’t tell you how much I appreciate this video. Great sense of humour too. :) I’m looking to relocate to Alberta from Vancouver mostly due to needing access to more affordability and better medical care. Appreciate your pros and cons.

Thank you very much for the information, also we appreciate the time you took to make this.

I LOVED THIS! I'm an RN, living in Brampton, Ontario, and I'm amazed at how little my over $100,000/salary gets me in the way of housing. I wonder what the job market for health care workers like myself is, considering the unemployment rate is so high? Any thoughts? Also, this video is so detailed, and appreciated, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to do this. Simply fantastic!😁😁😁

From Edmonton you can take SWOOP and be in the sun in US or Mexico for about 5 hours and very cheaply too! Good to get out of the winter cold and enjoy the sun for a couple of weeks ! Helps to make winter shorter!! Swoop does not fly out of Calgary yet.

Fantastic. Currently trapped in south Africa. Looking to escape and live in Canada by 2030. Now I can confidently cross out Alberta 😐

Thank you for showing us around!🤍💛🤍

Informative and interesting video. Thank you for all ur efforts behind this

Beautiful place Canada thanks for sharing this informative video my friend

Beautiful video and informative. Thanks

Enjoyed this video. Thank you! Will definitely check this video again before I move to Alberta next year :)

Excellent information🌟 Thank you!!💜

im mind boggled with the snow in may and june

Hi Mike, Great video very helpful 🙏🏽 thank you I will be in Canada 🇨🇦 🔜🥰

I lived in Jasper for 7 yrs. I was a cat operator (groomer for Marmot and 5 yrs in Lake Louise) Nice place to visit but don't live there. $$$ and very cliquey. I lived in Leduc for many years and it was a good time. I worked in oil (artificial lift) and made good money. Now I live in Rocky Mountain House and I'm getting tired of everything. The weather is freaking awful and if you don't have a greenhouse or hoop house you may not grow anything in your garden. Rocky gets snow in the summer and we are the capital of hail in Canada. Freaking hail that ruins homes, cars and crops!!!!! Real estate is $$ mega $. l litre of coffee cream 7.29, pound of butter 5.49, car insurance holy smoke. I am over 60 no accidents ever. Old truck and Ford Focus (together)for one year used to be 445 a year. Now my truck is 900 a year and my car is 465 a year. Gas 113.9 ltr (filled up today) diesel 179.9. Mechanics are at the very least 125 an hr. Utilities are fucking incredible. In the winter my electric bill (lights and heat) is around $700.00 a month and more than half of it is additional charges. More than half of it is extra charges. I typed that twice because I can only afford to live in the front third of my mobile. Mobile lots here in Rocky go from 375 ( I am at 410.00 includes water sewage and garbage dumpster) to 600.00 a month. Land taxes for me were over 350 but we remeasured my mobile and the tax was adjusted lower. Dog/cat tags are $30 yr for a sterilized animal. And the most stupid thing. I was at Sobeys and asked about our beef ie what we buy in our stores and where we get it from. Turns out the ground beef pork chicken turkey comes from a plant in Kansas. We sit in the middle of beef pork chicken and turkey land and our stuff comes from the States. Holy shit. You can purchase marked packages of 4H beef but you don't know what part of Alberta it came from. The young fella couldn't tell me where the cut beef etc., comes from. If you tell us to buy local you better buy local too and hire local. I don't know how it is in the rest of Canada but here we have a lot of new Canadians. We don't get hired to work and they import people from other countries. I know Rocky has many many many foreign people owning major businesses here and they want to bring their people over from where ever they came from. I get it but seriously we have the highest unemployment rate in all of Canada. Because we have so many people who work in well paying jobs all the prices are geared to them. Dental work is unbelievably expensive and the minimum wage worker has no chance. The thing that burns me for that is the people who have high paying jobs have benefits/insurance so they don't pay for it at all. Dentures, too. My eye glasses were around 380.00 and the eye exam I can't remember but not that much. As a province we are staunchly conservative. Out here in the country we get up and go to work and its yup do your thing just don't bother me. Say what you mean and walk the talk. We help each other when we can and we rally around when things go sideways ie Slave Lake fire (twice!) and the Ft Mac fire, the '87 tornado, Pine Lake tornado and other weather phenomena. I really appreciated the guy who mowed his lawn while there was a tornado approaching. Can't find the picture. His wife took the picture from their deck I think. We have fly fishing that is International Blue Ribbon water (The Bow River) and countless countless other streams and rivers that don't have a footprint along their banks. The hunting is world class too!!! I can tell you that moose and elk taste wonderful. I don't like deer, gamey. The scenery!!! Oh my!! It is a beautiful province and I guess I will continue living here because I don't want to live in Lotus Land (BC Bring Cash). It is a great province and you could do worse than to move here but you have to see both sides of the coin and don't think all the roads are paved in gold. Right now its ice ice ice. If you come here for work have all your ducks in a row because all the courses are expensive and you need a lot of them to work in the patch. Have a backup plan for if it doesn't work. Drop in for a visit as Rocky Mountain House is a nice place on your way through. In Nordegg we have fantastic camping and fishing and Abraham Lake is stunning!!!!! And the weather??? Wait 15 min and it will change, just dress for it. God Bless you and I hope I helped someone with this diatribe.

Very informative and helpful ❤️❤️❤️You gave so much effort in making this video. You deserve to be subscribed.

Totally get that feeling when the picture or video doesn't cut it. Came to Finland in 2021, and her lakes are just ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love your videos 🙏 I wanted to move to the Yukon, but I couldn't find any place where dogs are allowed 🤦 so going to my favorite province, Alberta. Always loved Edmonton, but Red Deer looks great too (based on the videos that Kyle makes: Living in Alberta). You two are my favorite! Awesome content. I am leaning toward St. Albert (remote work, so no commute 😅), so looking forward to contacting you as soon as I have finalized WHERE 😀 And the colder, the better 🤣

One of the best videos I've seen in some time

People complain about snow--but snow is Mother Nature's way of providing living creatures with water during the summer or hotter months--without snow your reservoirs would run dry like some states in the US. We should not complaint about Nature or question why it does what it does--it is humans that sets off its balance.

great video! so well made! thank you!

Nice video, lived in Edmonton my whole life & I thought this video was a good explanation of Alberta living !

Fantastic video my friend!! but if you also could add the property taxes in either pros or cons, that would be great. Because, I think thats one of the major expense for a family.

I am not sure your tax info is accurate. In Alberta in 2021 you can earn $19,369 before you pay any provincial income tax where as in Ontario the amount is only $10,880 and BC it is $11,070. If your income is say $25,000 then in Alberta only $5,631 is taxable at the 10% rate = $563 while in Ontario you would pay $713 on the larger amount at 5.05% and in BC your bill would be $704 .

This video is so informative. Thank you so much! I also subscribed and will be watching your other vlogs

Great video! Thanks man! Super

Interesting perspective MIKE and well presented. Calgary appears a good choice when I retire. One property was presented - a top floor condo in an older development with 1100 sq. ft. and a large workshop in the basement. I like both aspects and hear there are other such developments in the city. That place wasn't right for me and I am seeking listings such as in the future.

Why don’t you have a million subscribers? Bro what a nice video!

Loved the video , good job. As for the weather I don't see the cold as too big a problem but being unpredictable is more of an issue, lol. I've worked in Ft. Mac and I understand what you mean. Thinking of moving to Alberta from north of Toronto. Just doing my research. Again Thanks.

Whatever it is ..I love Canada ❤❤

Been thinking about moving back to my home country cuz of crazy housing sales and income taxes here in Canada til i heard some stories about Alberta. See you Alberta in 2023/4! Nice content by the way, thanks for sharing.

thank you so much for all the info, super useful

Thank you so much for this video! We're thinking of moving to Canada and Alberta is definitely on our list. We'll be in touch if you're still taking any queries!

Informative blog ... Thanks

i love how 3.5 hours away there’s a beautiful park, but i’m so used to BC mountains it’s weird to think of them being so far away

Thanks for the explanation! We are leaving Vancouver soon because life here is too expensive, even for someone with a high paying job!

Hi. Nice video , really enjoyed it. I will be moving to canada in May 2024 , which is next month. Any tips for me ?

Great video. Here I am sitting in my rented apartment in Whistler, BC, looking at Alberta because of the affordability. I have to check out the condos and apartment costs in Edmonton more closely.

Great video Mike…

Amazing video! The effort applied is admirable! My subscription and my respect is yours!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS

Excellent video!

such a well done video! thanks for this

I’m thinking of escaping the endless covid lockdowns in Ontario. Alberta is appealing. I want a small affordable city with awesome natural outdoor amenities

We are a family of 4 from ontarion and wAnt to relocate to Alberta but we don’t know how we’re to start.😅

As an Albertan and Edmontonian, You covered pretty much everything I was expecting to see in this video. Most of the time yeah the weather can get really clear, and other times, just really really cold. But its most of the time vice versa for summer. We can have our hot summers as well. I feel thats mostly in part due to climate change, but Canada has always been known as a cold and chilly country As for Jasper and Banff I hard agree on that. You really really REALLY need to go and see these for yourself. Videos and Pictures just don't do these beautiful landscpaes justice. You have to get the full experience to see these and feel the full size of these big mountains tower over you because its just that magnificant. I've been on a few road trips down to Jasper and they just look absolutely imaculate you can see the clouds touching the top. Tip: Don't drink the river water. It looks clean but Idk if there is any harmful bacteria in the rivers lol If there is anything I'd say these two cities have going for them is that yes. The housing market isn't as evil as it is in, say, Vancouver or Toronto. As covered in this video most houses are at least under or above 2 million CAD. One thing I expected to see in this video for the cons were traffic. Now I can't legally drive just yet but I've heard some really really awful stuff about the traffic and transportation for Edmonton. I don't think I can say the same for Calgary as I don't visit Calgary that much anymore lmao. And with the new LRT valley line expansion I can already see a few problems arise from that But Otherwise you did great with this video. I admire the effort to actively go out to these places just to get footage. Because Jasper and Banff are at least 8-10 hour drives there and back. No one, absolutely no one should be behind the wheel for that long lmao. Other than that I was also expecting you to cover the Mall because every other video HAS to include the mall.

Thanks for your great informative videos! We are evaluating whether to rent or buy in Alberta. We are wondering, what are the Albertans go to places to shop for places to rent? Kijiji? Craigslist? Or other? Thanks!

YOU EXPLAINED EVERYTHING SO PRECISELY.

Love the energy keep it up

I love what I am seeing I would definite love to live there

Man. Been there last month from May to June 2022 so I know exactly what you mean about the Jasper and banff. Most beautiful places in the world in my opinion, and Been thinking about moving to Alberta

Horseshoe lake is the cliff jumping spot .with ice cold ..Kool aid blue water..I may move there next ...but Banff is more of a city ?.huh thanks for the video

Great content !👍🏼

How about architecture and design industry? Im moving next year to Canada and im thinking about going to Alberta 🤔

Nice video. You make me wanna move to Alberta

Ok, you got me at "put on my skates and get the mail"...and I don't even know how to skate.

Hi mate, me and my family are looking at moving to calgary from the UK i am a truck driver and my partner is a teacher would this put us in a favourable position in terms of tax? And im looking at getting a temporary work visa to get in first or would you recommend going straight for PR. Many thanks.
