I can add after having lived in Halifax in the 90's that you can figure it out yourself on the basis of what Pran said in the vid: 5 big universties (well, 2 big really ones) plus not all that much going on in terms of very serious economic activity equals crazy competition and low salaries when it comes to any type of office based work. But Pran is making an excellent point about it being perhps a good place for entrepreneurship. Please correct me if I'm wrong. But you never forget Halifax and especially the Martimers. I'm shocked Pran found it so hard to make friends. I made friends immediately and I came from Europe and my English was not even that good back then. Argyle didn't have all the bars back then either but I know your "pizza corner" street relatively well as I worked there in a relatively classy restaurant owned by a local celebrity chef. 😉😎✌️

The 1 Spring Garden runs like every ten seconds and it will get you nearly anywhere in Halifax that is between the waterfront and the Mumford Terminal, or at least close enough so you only need to do a short walk.

Awesome video BTW. Going to subscribulate.

I've never tried Cortado Tasting Room!!

Hi Flori! Thank you so much! For most of the vlogging, I’m actually just using a GoPro 8 with flat profile and the B-roll is shot on a 90D :)

Hahah that’s insane 🥶

Haha same 🙌🏻

Lol oh my I have to step in here and say my peace, bro HALIFAX is my home town born raised there. Moved out west To Vancouver then Alberta back to Vancouver, Kelowna, Cranbrook BC, Kimberley BC back to Kelowna back to Vancouver BC, yes love to Travel part was because of my job at that time my choice of course. Great people except Vancouver is the Worst 100% ignorant rude snobby attitude won’t even hold a door open and you’re right behind them how fuking ignorant is that? Believe Me I still say thanks just to make them feel like an idiot with no respect. But on that note their are good people still n this world. I may get shit or called names for pointing this out but my opinion it’s mostly the people that Come here from other Countries now became a Canadian but with out following the Canadian way unfortunately. Many that come across the borders illegally but allowed to stay is another problem Justin Trudeau created big time. Again in Halifax My experience 90 % were very respectful and polite. Help you if needed. No issues PEI was on another level years back, people were so so friendly especially driving the back roads as I call it off the main highway from Summerside to Charlottetown, people driving waving 👋 at you you wave back that’s the way it was friendly no matter where on PEI WAS LIKE EVERYONE Respected 100% , a little story I’m driving from Charlottetown on my way to catch the last Ferry ⛴ to Get back to Nova Scotia I had to pick up a bag of Spuds 🥔 for my uncle. I’m driving I’m almost at the ferry I realize damn I forgot the spuds I’m driving bam there is a Hut 🛖 on the side of the road which is very common for many fruits vegetables etc, anyways I stop lots of bags of spuds small to extra large 50 pound bags right a sign 🪧 with pricing I call out hello hello I thought they must be in the Hut sitting down nope was full of bags of spuds 🥔 and a Ice cream container with coins 🪙 and bills 💵 full to the top. A sign saying help you’re self and please be kind and leave you’re payment in the bucket take change as needed. WOW I did exactly that. No one in site not even a farm house 🏡 that I could see. I actually lived there at that time only for a summer but that was my first experience picking up spuds on the side of the highway to the ferry. But back then everyone or most people never even locked 🔒 their doors at night leave keys in the vehicles that’s what TRUST IS BUT OUR COUNTRY HAS GONE TO HELL. People are on edge stuck up rude ignorant selfish no respect for other people or their belongings or anything most not all. But it’s true the more they Open the Borders the worse it gotten, if you want to argue this point bring it on. So I’m not really surprised anymore that even my own Town where I grew up has gone to shit. Sad very very sad. I remember as a kid we hitchhike a ride people pick you up some drive you out of there way to make sure you got to your destination safely. True story I’ve also done it for people even in BC. I used to back in the 90’s pick up strangers go out of my way to get them to their destination if of course wasn’t miles away. I let people stay at my home over night feed them cook breakfast 🍳 in the morning drop them off to a freeway so they could finish their Journey. Yes there are good people still but but it’s not even close what Canada was. It’s truly shameful how bad Canadians got over the years believe me most are not True Canadian because True Canadians don’t STAB OR SHOOT PEOPLE ON THE STREETS OR THROWING HOT COFFEE ☕️ IN THEIR FACE OR SPIT IN THER FACES OR STEAL YOUR CAR OR BREAK N YOUR HOME OR ROBBING YOU IN A PARKING LOT OR KILLING YOUR DOG 🐕 IN THE YARD OR MAN THE LIST GOES ON M VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED WHAT CANADA IS TODAY. ITS TRULY ASHAME WHAT SCUM LIVE IN THIS COUNTY NOW. OK OK ILL STOP BUT YOU GET MY POINT I EVEN HAD SO CALLED FRIENDS THROUGH OUT BC WHO SCREWED ME OVER FOR THOUSANDS BUT OTS NOT ALL PEOPLE IN BC, ITS A FEW WHO SEE AN EASY TARGET A PERSON WHO WAS RAISED TO GIVE YOUR SHIRT OFF YOUR BACK TO PEOPLE WHO NEEDED IT MORE. When people see you have such a big heart ❤️ you’re done they are now you’re enemy. Yes scum bags you thought you could trust, once again it’s sad what happened to our Country watch you’re back because there is always another waiting to take advantage of you. This is one reason true Canadians I think lost their way with being nice or as open as they used to be because people lost all respect for others. It’s partly the mixed culture from Third world countries that have zero respect for our Country and how we lived with freedom now that freedom isn’t freedom anymore just take a look around you’re City you’re town you’re neighborhood watch the news TV OR RU-vid You will see how bad this Country has gotten just they last few years and getting worse by the day. So long story short it sounds like it truly don’t matter where you live these days you will always run into an evil person a disrespectful person a low life who hates seeing others doing better then them, then Canada has a major Drug issue across Canada just like USA OTHER COUNTRIES THE DRUGS POURING IN ACROSS-THE BORDERS. OK I BETTER STOP OR ILL HAVE NOTHING LEFT FOR MY BOOK 📖 IM WRITING ON HOW TRUDEAU FUKED 🇨🇦

Aww, that's a bit discouraging to read. I'm a nurse looking to move there potentially from the UK and I know going for work is a lot different than University as it's simply more difficult to make connections and friendships as an adult. But I have been met with a lot of that, employers and recruitment agents not responding to emails/phone calls...

True true! I think there’s more bars per capita in Newfoundland

It’s a regular practice

@@PranNarang that is weird! I heard if I don’t give tip, for example Services in restaurants will not be happy!

Appreciate it man! And that would depend on a lot of factors and if you wanna live downtown or not! might do a video about it soon!

Thank you so much! I hope you guys are able to get to Halifax soon 😊

Hi Yue Meng, may I inquire if you engage an immigration consultant or DIY? Which scheme, if u could share....? Thx ...

@@alisonseah hi, yes I've engaged an consultant who happens to be my high-schoolmate. He's already a Canadian Citizen helping others to migrate to Canada. If you want I can connect you. I'm applying via FSW program

@@yuemengleong4999 Hi Thank you Yue Meng, i am not at that stage yet...now at "finding out" phase....but what's the fee like though? Can explore....Thx :)

@@alisonseah it depends on your situation. Solo, couple, family with how many kids, which program, all these effects the price. Best you have a consultation session to understand and ask everything

Hi Joey! I wish I could help with that but I don’t know anything about the school district. There’s a lot of schools in and around Halifax though so I’m sure it won’t be too much of a struggle! Good luck 😊

The Halifax reddit page is a good place to ask.

@@Mariana-ub9ie thanks

Canon 90D and GoPro 8 :)

You can shoot me a dm on Instagram!

Yes it is true that it is very difficult to get a family doctor in Halifax and all of Nova Scotia. It can take a few years. But once you have your health card indicating you're a resident of Nova Scotia, you can go to a walk-in clinic and see a doctor so you won't be without care. With regard to losing electricity after bad storms, yes that does happen. Most times you get your power back the same day, but if it is a severe storm it will be longer. I live in Halifax and have only been without electricity 1-2 times in 6 years. Some neighborhoods are worse than others for some reason.

@@privatename8228 do you know, is the health care system is also worse in vancouver or its better in vancouver?

@@adritakhanom7567 Sorry I don't know the answer as I have never lived in Vancouver. And, although it's in the same country, it's almost 6,000 kilometers away. :)

Yes

9 years

Kijiji

Absolutely it is very safe out here 😊

🤣🤣 Oh, la... If you're not gonna feel safe in Halifax then I don't know where else on planet earth you can feel safe...

Right not there’s not many jobs because of Covid but in general, it’s fairly easy to get a serving job :)

Yess!

It's not that hard man haha
