Times have changed and I'm not sure we would totally recommend moving to Calgary. It’s now the third most expensive city in Canada. However, with the boom and bust that the city is known for, there's a high chance it could collapse like it did in 2008. However, rents have gone up by 25% in one year and there's almost nothing on the market. You'd need a salary of $150K just to buy a basic townhouse. When we get a moment, we'll try and do a part 2 because this is really getting insane and the government continues to make it worse.

I would have loved to return to BC to be closer to my friends and family, but THAT’S expensive! I think Calgary will get progressively more expensive because it’s long been behind in housing prices from everywhere else. For me, Calgary is the city you get when you combine Vancouver and Winnipeg. And it will be cheap for us to drive or fly to either city.

I've been living in Calgary for about 10 years and I can say it feels like a home to me, its summers are hot, its winters are cold and all of its seasons are equally beautiful. In the summers, the temperature usually averages around 25-30 degrees celsius each day and in winters its -20 to -35 celsius a day. Its not as cold as people say it is but the feeling of the autumn wind stirs something great in you and one think I like about it is that the teachers in our schools are particularly friendly and humorous, atleast from the schools that I went to.

"we have been living" & "I watched." while it's not too dramatic and everyone will definitely understand you and natives tend to be way less strict grammar-wise than we get thought in school I came to notice myself, it's still a general rule of thumb to better use perfect tense continuous for something that you started in the past and still keep on doing and simple past tense for something you happened to do in the past. just tried to point it out because those two examples are so close together (like low hanging fruits, almost 😅). and I definitely don't try to like, "pull you down" or something stupid (as coming off the wrong way is sometimes just too easy over the Internet) but wanting to help ya out, my fellow immigrant 😅 (okay, I temporarily moved back for now because it turned out, even Canada isn't like too easy to migrate to, but I used to live in Calgary as well. oh, and throwing my two cents in: the thing Europeans might underestimate the most is the wind, lol. no really, it's-umm-annoying most times.

What a beautiful city. A shame about the public transportation: I have a medical condition that makes driving very difficult, and the one thing I really did find frustrating living in Canada was the lack of options for people without cars. It's kind of shocking, too, for a country that is otherwise so good at being aware of accessibility: there are loads of reasons (old age, young age, low income, medical conditions, etc) why a person might not be able to drive, and it's sad that something that would make so many lives so much easier is not often available. Honestly, aside from thatched cottages, the thing I missed most from England was the trains. Getting around the UK without a car is actually really easy: getting around Canada, you have to fly or drive.

I moved to Calgary last year, July 2022. It’s a beautiful city but of course the cold days which I’m not accustomed to, coming from Ontario. I also noticed that roads are not cleaned during winter and the ice keep piling up which for one is dangerous and very unsafe to drive on. And not only the road but even on the major highways they take long to get them clean. I noticed no one commented on that and my pet peeve is seeing all these beautiful cars with crack windshields, every other vehicle has a crack windshield which is unfortunate and a turn off for me. So I’m thinking to head back to Ontario due to those concerns for me.

We recently moved to Calgary from Toronto. Calgary is great during summer - parks, trails, Banff, Canmore, lakes.. So much to do and see. HOWEVER. We had a snow storm in beginning of November and we were just SHOCKED by how the roads are. FYI residential areas ARE NOT PLOWED. Roads are in very bad conditions, plazas are not plowed and cleaned. Ice everywhere. It WAS A SHOCK to us. Nobody talks about it, but it is a huge problem for us. All locals I talk to here, saying "oh, it is normal. City just doesn't care".

My wife is also from Mexico City, and we have a second home there.

But the snowwww and colddd. But we moving back to Canada, don't know to where yet. We do love the snow, mountains, and Banff, always wanted to live close to it. We lived in Windsor Ontario for 20 years, now in New Zealand for 17 years, and it is getting too hot.

Oh wow. How was New Zealand ? Gets chilly too no? That was my (Matt) first solo backpacking trip

We started our Roadtrip to Vancouver in Calgary, and we definitely can confirm this being one of the most beautiful cities we have ever visited. Despite having 1.4M inhabitants, you can feel the impressive nature around you. Unfortunately, we only spent 2 days there, but if we ever travel to Canada again, we will spend much more time in Calgary for sure.

So many skip it for Banff, but it really is great! Glad you liked it!

Come visit The Hidden Gem local artisan market in Kensington, Calgary! We have 87 local vendirs inside showcasing their creations! Open 7 days a week! Great way to see Calgary local and small business all in one convenient spot!! See you on the inside!

Have you ever been to Oviedo,Spain?that's a clean city!!

Your videos are very informative. Motivated by your recommendations my spouse has chosen Relocate ltd as her agency for helping her reach the right employer in Alberta. Hopefully she is successful. Fingers crossed. Thanks.

Awesome. Would love to hear how it goes and what you think of them

I love the accent of the girl in the video so much.

Hello guys, thank you for sharing your thoughts. My and my girlfriend are from Argentina and we want to move to Canada. I was wondering if you have or have plans to make a video in Spanish (becase there a lot of latin American people who are interested in Canada) thanks for your time! 😊

Love the video guys! I want to move to Calgary from Toronto. I live in TO for 35 years but the city has become less and less affordable. How can I move to Calgary?

To be honest, it's not affordable here anymore. Things changed rapidly after posting this. Average rent now for a 2 bedroom apartment is about $2300. Average house is now $750,000.

Hello thank you for this vital information. How much will it cost me to move to Canada ?. I love your videos, thus exactly why I love Canada. Lots of nature and very good for road trips.

Yea it’s nice though I wish we got more snow because I like snow and go crazy when I see it

We were lucky this fall but Calgary usually has a short fall. I’ve lived here many years plus Ontario . We have gotten snow most falls by mid October. Leaves come out and wind takes hem off .. Ontario you can go into December before snow .

Yes, we kinda regret not doing so in this video, so we're gonna try and make a part 2 soon. To be honest, our thoughts have changed a liot in the last 8 months and personally would not recommend anyone move here at the moment. Prices are skyrocketing to record levels, including rent, making it less attractive. Even Kelowna is the same price now and offers much more in terms of lifestyle. Plus, Calgary is boom and bust and right now is boom, which means a bust is around the corner

I love Calgary ❤

Tough to say. I think Calgary wins overall for beauty and the mountains but Edmonton has a lot of festivals, is cheaper, and has many lakes nearby

Saludos Carla, vivo en Winnipeg pero andamos pensando en cambiarnos de ciudad, Winnipeg es bonito pero aveces es muy aletargado y viniendo de Ciudad de México donde todo es súper rápido y siempre hay algo que ver pues luego resulta demasiado tranquilo Winnipeg. Hace poco fui a Vancouver pero se ve que Calgary es más fácil de hacerse una casita que en Vancouver. Gracias por el dato de relocated.

This is Matt. Haha yes Winnipeg can be quiet. However, Calgary os very quiet as well compared to Vancouver, toronto and montreal. Outside of stampede, the downtown is quiet after work hours. Also, since we made this video, things have changed and calgary is very expensive now. Maybe $700k for a modest house
