Is Regina the capital of Saskatoon or the largest city in Saskatoon? (3)

For most China people who want to emigrate, Canada is undoubtedly the best choice. This issue is no longer a controversial topic. However, the preferred cities for new immigrants to land in Canada are constantly changing with time. For immigrants from China, Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario were the best places to land in the late 1970s and mid-1990s. However, with the rising housing prices, the increasing cost of living and the excessive concentration of new immigrants, such as the difficulty in finding professional jobs, these two provinces are no longer regarded as the best landing places by many new immigrants. From the mid-1990s to a year or two ago, Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta became the best landing places for the second generation of new immigrants. Due to the financial crisis and the same problems as Vancouver and Toronto, Alberta is losing the title of the best landing place for the second generation of new immigrants, while Saskatchewan, Alberta's eastern neighbor and unfamiliar to many people in China, has gradually replaced Alberta as the best landing place for the third generation of new immigrants in Canada.

Then, when we choose Saskatchewan, we are faced with the problem of choosing which city to settle down in. Two big cities in Saskatchewan, Regina, the capital of the second largest city, and Saskatoon, the largest city, which city is more suitable for us? This question has been debated endlessly. The following is a general introduction of the selection process of some of my customers, which has been preliminarily sorted out for reference only. Comparing the online comments and field trips of the two cities, the initial impression is almost the same, and there is not much difference, so which city to choose depends on your actual situation. Perhaps most people will regard Regina as the political center and Saskatoon as the economic center. In fact, no matter what the center is, our focus is nothing more than work comparison, house price comparison, life convenience comparison and children's education comparison.

As for jobs, for China people, there is no difference in job opportunities between the two cities. Generally speaking, Regina is the political center, so there are more jobs in the service industry and government departments. However, Saskatoon in China has a relatively large population, and its economic development is not much different from Regina's. Because there are many people in China, the competition is definitely greater, so Saskatoon may not be as easy to find low-end jobs as Regina. There is not much difference for ordinary service technology work. Of course, Regina is more suitable for government, finance and other people who have the ability or want to re-learn in order to find a stable and high-income job. For highly specialized technical work, such as oil, mining and so on, it is different. As far as housing prices are concerned, it is an indisputable fact that Regina is lower than Saskatoon. Regina/Kloc-houses below 0/00000 Canadian dollars have more choices than Saskatoon, and the relative location and quality of Regina's houses will be 65,438+00%-20% lower than Saskatoon's. In the case of little difference in rent and income between the two cities, Regina may be better and more suitable for immigrants with little investment in the early stage. If you just want to buy a house, it is more conducive to indirect immigrants, and Regina has less investment and is easier to get started. In fact, there is nothing to say about the convenience of life. The big supermarket we often go to is very convenient in any city. There is almost no inconvenience to our daily necessities. If it is inconvenient, it may be just a little less than Vancouver and Toronto, which is not easy to find, but it is enough to meet the needs of life. For schools, there are good schools in any city, so no matter whether you consider your child's primary school, middle school or university, there will be good schools in the selected district. Compared with Vancouver, Toronto and other cities with more Chinese, places with fewer Chinese in Saskatchewan are more conducive to improving our English and helping our children integrate into Canadian culture and society. I finally chose Regina. First of all, the climate is relatively mild. Second, I prefer the advantage of a political center: Financial Street, which is convenient for government agencies to work centrally. Of course, downtown looks more like a city. Third, the main purpose is to do relative migration, so the pressure of buying a house is small and easy to rent.
