What is the cost of living in Canada? Which city should I choose to live in when I go?

I can only help you analyze the cost of living in Canada in detail. About which city you should live in, you should look at your own conditions.

First of all, the biggest cost of living in Canada is housing. The price of each city is different, so the cost of each family is different: renting an apartment with two rooms, one kitchen and one bathroom in downtown Vancouver, about 70 square meters, costs about 1000 Canadian dollars; It costs about 800 Canadian dollars in Toronto; It costs about 600 Canadian dollars in Montreal; This kind of apartment has complete facilities and can live directly with bedding. There are cold and warm air, 24-hour hot water (free), and some apartments use electricity for free. There are plenty of parking spaces, gyms, indoor swimming pools and 24-hour security at the bottom of the building, which is as safe and comfortable as staying in a hotel.

Such apartment buildings are also graded by region. If they are slightly out of the city center, the price will be different.

Secondly, the daily expenses of the family. For a family of three, if you start your own business, it will cost about 300-350 Canadian dollars a month. During the Spring Festival, the prices of chicken, fish, meat and eggs in Canada are similar to those in Chinese mainland, milk is cheaper, and the prices of vegetables are similar to those in China.

The price of a universal monthly ticket for subway or bus is about 60 Canadian dollars. Prices vary from city to city, but there is little difference.

If you buy your own house in Canada and your children are very young, your expenses will be much easier. The milk money of a child under 18 is enough for your family. (See table below)

When buying a house in Canada, there is a discount for one-time payment, just like in China. But it's usually ten or twenty years' mortgage. Down payment: Those who have jobs in Canada are buyers who have invested in the past. The down payment is 30%, and the loan interest is generally 3.5-4.9%.
