I survived 2 winters in Calgary. Both years it started snowing in September and went to may. The worst part is the 8 months of grass being brown, and the lack of trees due to the prairie climate, besides going out west into the mountains, all around was just flat nothingness, brown in colour, no trees, felt like I was at the edge of the world. Beautiful city and all but I just couldn't accept some facts and had to leave.
i’ll take Calgary anyway compared to Texas deadly heat. i lived in North Dakota -50f unbelievable!it’s actually colder then Edmonton 😱also you talk about dry? Better then humid. My Daddy bought me a humidifier but for the opposite just pure agony😭Can’t wait until i go back to Alberta 💕
HaHa, I grew up in Calgary and we have a weather phenomenon called the chinook. It will bring warm dry winds in from the west off the mountains that regularly bring winter temperatures up above freezing for a few days every couple of weeks or so. We do not experience the very harsh winter that most of the other parts of Canada can experience for months. With the exception of the west coast southern alberta has a fairly mild winter. Lots of Sun shine too!
My friend this video was really helpful, we are moving next January and we are really afraid, we are from Mexico city and we like a lot your videos keep going!!!! Thanks for the so much useful information
Hi, about dryness and bleeding of nose.. I live in Montreal and when it's -20 nd above we too get same problem inside home coz of heating system at home so we too started using humidifier.. it's better with humidifier. I m confused why people think it's only in Calgary when I felt same in Montreal and people living here recommended me to buy humidifier to solve this problem... M Also planning to move to Calgary.
Hey Gagan , thanks man for sharing your experience. I don’t know much about Montreal weather, I hv lived in Toronto and Calgary. If you watch the full video, I have shown the humidifier in this video as well
I can 100% relate to many of the things said in the video. The air is super dry, and the point about static is true! And there is not much wind for the most part. I noticed the water is very harsh in Calgary (and surrounding cities); I recommend getting a water softener if you plan to buy a house. There are a couple of things that I want to share/emphasize: 1. The winter months (Dec-Jan) weather is bone-chilling cold. Coming from Toronto (10+yrs), I’d take T.O weather any day. All of my goose jackets were pretty much useless, had to layer up 2-3 times and wear 2 layers of pants - anytime I would stay outside for more than 15 mins. Especially taking public transit. It was brutal. 2. The Chinook can be tricky. It is obviously a huge +ve point as mentioned in the video. But with that comes one big -ve. Because of the drastic weather changes from -20C to +10C, the snow that melts on the road, freezes and becomes black ice. I have never experienced this much black ice in my life. I had to drive thru Calgary 3 hr (250Kms) in a day for a few months for work and I was genuinely scared, at night especially. You may see small patches of black ice in T.O but never 10s of Kms of black ice. 3. The video gets 100% right that there is just so much more sunlight compared to T.O. Even in winters if you are under sunlight, it’s not THAT cold. You may be tempted to open up your jacket or remove some layers, but don’t! Without sunlight it is freezing!
How is the Indian population in Calgary? Do we have a lot of Indian people to make friends (mainly for my kid who is 5 year old)?? And how is the quality of education for lower KG till high school??
There are so many Indian families here, you will easily get connected to the community. Education is good , however , schools are attached to the neighbourhood you live in. So , you need to do proper research on good schools and find your residence accordingly.
Thank you Ajay for sharing your experience. I was wondering how bad the snow fall is over the winter periods? I'm a little worried about driving in heavy snowfall.
I have been finding a video explaining the winter very clearly like this. However, today accidentally I found your channel. Your doing a great job and help the people who intend to migrate to Calgary Canada especially south Asians. I found so many important videos. Thank you for sharing these important information. I am from Sri Lanka and had a fear about harsh winters in Calgary. Now I understood that we can survive somehow. Please do a video explaining all seasons in this manner explaining the temperature and related things. Also do a video with regard to PR path after studies in the university. Thanks
We are family living in india, want to move to canada,we have crs of 451, with two kids under age of 8, my age is 36 with 3 yrs of managerial experience, what are our chances of getting pnp invitation or pr...plz tell and which pnp' s are open now
Hi Ajay B why is it so cold and the drying in Calgary Canada. Why is it so colder than any other state. Ok the weather can be extremely difficult and challenging so I do ask so many questions but that’s life in Canada Calgary. What about the roads do they grit the roads and the way you have to survive. Why is it so cold outside the snowing and the snowstorms. It’s in January February March December to March next year 2023 can get colder extremely difficult condition. Ok. How can you survive and the snow storm snow falls and how expensive it can be in Canada weather. Well it’s the snowing full of existence well you have to face the colder weather. The climate change and you have to survive it. The cost of living is too expensive so I don’t know. I wish it be like Florida or Spain weather. Why is it so cold outside and inside. What’s the cost of living high. You lived there so the extremely expensive and the weather can be harsh. Ok what about jobs in Calgary Canada. Ok
I’m in Toronto, seems Canada is only meant for polar bears….we humans are here just for the heck…… lol……..there’s a reason USA got 370m people vs 37m in Canada. My work takes me to the USA at least twice a month……wish I could move there. Weather and work is so much better there…..in my opinion.
I have a wheezing problem (it's triggering due to dust or cold). I got a project in the Calgary location. It can be manageable if I will come to Calgary. Please suggest. Thanks!
Hello I have a question, I'm at my last year of study (12th grade) can I continue my last year in calgary? And is if we wante to rent apartments is it affordable and what sites should we look (legit sites)
I am not very familiar with the the school education as of now. For rentals , rentfaster.ca is good. It’s always better to rent a place after you come to Canada .
One other thing for anyone to make note of is if you get much for migraines. The massive change in temps with chinooks can increase them. I come from Saskatchewan so it's warmer winters here in Calgary. I it was -46c a couple days when I went home.
@@AjayBalharaLive Thank you. The more people that move here the better. Now that you have an suv it's time for you to start adventuring down those back roads in the mountains. Old Man River area is a good start.
I lived in both Calgary and Toronto. Calgary has Chinook which gives you breaks from the cold but Toronto is straight cold for several months. Yes Calgary can be -30 for a couple of weeks every winter. Other than that the average temperature is quite comparable. Overall I prefer Calgary winter for the Chinook weather and winter sports.
You can always move to Vancouver. Lots of rain 🌧 but summers can be hot and humid. But a beautiful City. Just very expensive. Been living in Calgary since 1986. Love the sunshine ☀️.
Thanks AM, by the way if you are listening on headphones, then go to your phone audio settings and switch on mono, you ll get full sound in both speakers. My audio is super good otherwise.
When I was in India I use to watch vlogs in English and when I moved to Canada I mostly watch vlogs in Hindi or Punjabi... I don't know but I grab more knowledge when I listen in home country language.. my mindset is changed.. Haha 😃 paji Hindi mae awaj jaza achi lagti hai.
Oh yeah, I had this issue during exporting videos , sound only in one speaker. When you change mono settings in sound settings on phone or laptop. It will be fine. That being said, I have fixed this problem in my future videos. 😎😎😎
Way to go, my brother. Great video!!! I'm looking forward to start my immigration preparation process at the start of next year, with Calgary being the destination. Maybe one day we shall be able to hang out a bit!! Didier from Mauritius.
