Vancouver is the third largest city in Canada. How does the cost of living compare between Vancouver and Shanghai?

For those friends who are ready to immigrate to Canada and intend to immigrate to Canada, in addition to the expenses of immigration, of course, they will also fully consider the expenses of local living expenses. Take Los Angeles, Canada's largest Chinese city, as an example. What is the basic living expenses of an immigrant investment family?

The house price in each city is different, so the cost of each family is different. Houses can be roughly divided into apartment buildings, big city houses or townhouses (called townhouses or townhouses), semi-detached houses or single-family villas, single-family villas or single-family houses. The price is determined by region, type, campus and environment, which varies greatly. There are two options for housing, rent or buy.

Rent: Generally, immigrants invest in a family of three to four or more people. There are two main types of renting houses, two-bedroom apartment buildings or three-or four-bedroom big city houses (in fact, what China called single-family villas). Take Richmond as an example, the rent must be between 1200-2000/ month. This rent is mainly for the main area. If it is the core area of Los Angeles, the rent needs to be more than 2,500 ~ 3,000 Canadian dollars.

Buy: Immigrant investment is basically to buy a house immediately. The market price of a typical house in Los Angeles is around 500,000 Australian dollars, while a single-family house in Vancouver only sells for 200 Australian dollars. The eastern district is expensive, but the eastern district is slightly lower. Richmond and Burnaby (roughly equivalent to the status in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road) start at A $65,438 +0.5 million; Guirenlin and Suri (the position outside the Fifth Ring Road to Shunyi District) started from 65,438 Australian dollars +0.2 million. From10.5 million Australian dollars.

Transportation Travel In Canada, transportation travel is mainly by car. In addition to the car price, it also needs to include federal income tax and provincial consumption tax, which add up to 12%. Calculate a medium-sized SUV at 20,000-40,000 Australian dollars. If buying a used car is cheaper, there are two ways to buy a car in Canada, full payment and loan installment.

Another common way to travel is to rent for a long time. During the lease period, you can choose to pay the rent every month. After the lease expires, you can choose to buy the car or rent it and continue to rent it. In fact, many new immigrants will consider renting a house. Because the income in Canada is stable after three to five years, many families choose to change cars, so renting a house is about 500 a month.

The cost of ingredients depends on everyone's living habits at home. Catering is relatively cheap in Canada, especially meat products. Discount can often buy a catty of pork elbow and a catty of pork belly. There are too many grades and types of beef and mutton, ranging from 4 yuan to 40 Australian dollars. Milk egg sausage is not as expensive as domestic sausage, but its quality is much better. And the price of seafood is very cheap. When the crayfish in the supermarket is ultra-low, 8 yuan is only 7 kg. Other seafood is cheap. If you catch up with the fishing season here, it will be more cost-effective and fresher. You can eat whatever you want.
