Should i move to Canada or Australia?


Question Posted Thursday May 5 2011, 12:36 pm

Im a guy, 18 years, and ive always wanted to move out of California and move somewhere more peaceful and happy.

AND I KNOW ALL OF YOU SAY, THAT CALIFORNIA IS THE "dream land" but its BS. I've been here all my life, and yeah, the weather is great, the girls, the beaches, sure. whatever.
But.
There is traffic up the ass...
People are rude, rich, obnoxious, stuckup
girls are slutty, unmannered, and have no values
guys are potsmokers and screw-ups
mainly, i just hate the people and the culture.
I've always wanted to move to Toronto. I went there last summer and my experience was great. People were nice, weather was nice and chilly, less traffic, more smiles, people were civilised( although not so friendly) but girls were classy and behaved.
Ive never been to Australia, so idk about that.
But 3 of my friends moved to the Southern Ontario region last year and each one of them tells me they love it.
Should i move there?

As a California native myself, and someone who has also lived overseas and currently resides in another state, I have to say that even with its problems California still is the greatest place in the world.

But to answer your question, not only are there immigration hurdles to moving to Toronto (which is in the middle of a housing bubble, btw), but just because someone else liked it doesn't mean you will. My mom loves the state I live in now, but I found that I hate it after I moved up here. Now I'm kind of stuck. The problem isn't the state or the area I live in, it's just what is a good fit for my personality.

So it is definitely be a careful what you ask for proposition.

To immigrate to another country requires permission of that country. So if you are planning to do anything other than visit you need to contact the Embassy of that Country and acquire the correct Visas and working permits.


That being said, have you ever heard the expression "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence."


What that means is someplace else always looks nicer than where you are, until you get there. Now that is not always true but every place has its own problems. I moved from Long Island, New York to where I presently live. While I would never move back to Long Island it doesn't mean where I live is a garden spot either. I would love to move some place with a more temperate climate and maybe even a slower pace. For medical reason that is not going to be possible. Sure wherever we move will have doctors and hospital, I'm just not willing to give up our present doctors at this time.


What it boils down to is in the detail you don't know. Just because it looks better doesn't mean it is better. Take the time to really find out about what your intended future home has offer versus what you will be giving up. Then decide.

By what you said I'd suggest you moved to Canada. You wouldn't want to move to Australia only to find out you hate it. My dad lives in Ontario, and yes, it's very nice. But remember this; wherever you go there will always be those unmannered, not friendly people and you can't escape that. But if moving is what you really want to do, I say go for it! I love living in Canada, so if that's where you choose to go, I hope you enjoy it! Goodluck and keep smiling! :)
