I live in France. Should I move to Canda? What are the pros and cons?
>>
Fuck, made a typo in the OP.
Canada *
>>
>>52665804
Pros:

- Nice and friendly people

- Slower pace of life

- Beautiful landslide

- Cold during Winter / Warm during summer

- When it is cold it is also sunny most of the time, kind of awesome!

Cons:

- Shit tier food

- There aren't that many things to do (especially if you don't live in Montreal/Toronto/Vancouver/Ottawa). It becomes quickly *really* boring

- Shit tier money

- Inferior healthcare system (you still have to pay for some stuff)

- Actively oppressing Quebecois and kind of condescending toward French nationals

Continued

Cons:

- Waitress come check every 5 minutes if "everything is ok" and everyone asks you "how are you" => Avoid this country if you hate to smalltalk

- You need to tip

- Taxes are not included in the prices, they tell you how much it will actually cost you ONCE you are paying

- Women are fatter than in Europe and generally not as sophisticated or curious about the world

- People have no clue how to dress properly

Pros:

- Food portions are bigger than in France

- People are less concerned about how they look

canadian are easy girl or many feminist?

Is the pay better in Canada? I checked the GDP per capita stats, and it seems that Canada has a higher GDP per capita (by about a thousand dollars/year). Also, it seems as though the economy is performing better overall - France is stagnated (and has been so for many years), while the Canadian economy is growing.

I don't mind the Quebecois myself, but seriously, if that's oppression, I want to be oppressed. Btw I'm half Quebecois.

Food is shit in Canada m8

No hard feelings but it actually sucks really bad
>>
>>52666193
Yeah but inflation is crazy at the moment

100 euros = 150 canadian dollars

1 euro = 67 cents CAD

It depends of the kind of job you would be doing but basically don't come here unless it is a French company you are working for and they give you a premium for living in Canada
>>
>>52666608
Sorry btw it is the other way around

1 CAD = 0.67 euros

1.52

We should all move to Canada. There's plenty of space and resources.

>>52666783
Thats more or less our immigration schema only with the caveat that you have you to have a degree and decent income already.
Unless you're from Syria

Come home, white man[1]


*[1] Brazillians are actually quite white

Atlantic Canada (NFLD, Nova Scotia, PEI, New Brunswick)
+ extremely friendly people
+ very casual, slow paced
+ always a party somewhere
+ very unique and old culture for NA
+ oil rig work = great money
+ about 95 % white
+ there are many french communities in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick
- on average poorer part of Canada
- regarded as stupid
- alcoholism
- rather fat, like hobbit boat people

Quebec
+ with being French, you're regarded pretty highly
+ you'll fit in with french Canadian culture
+ small farm towns have the friendly characteristics of Atlantic Canada
+ lots of provincial subsidies
+ stable economy
- purposefully ignorant and isolationist
- disliked by non-quebecois
- problems with natives being uppity and shit
- very high immigration

Ontario
+ most non GTA (Greater Toronto Area) lads are pretty nice
+ strongest and most stable provincial economy
+ most opportunity in Canada
- very high immigrant population
- least happy province, GTA people seem miserable
- very high paced society

Manitoba/Sask/Alberta
+ farmtowns, very Midwest-like culture, except for Alberta which is Texas 2.0
+ high potential but unstable economy due to it being a highly oil-dependent area
- sketchy natives
- people seem to be obnoxious in Manitoba
- literally the most boring place in the world outside of cities, its like prairie limbo

BC
+ hippy cascadian culture
+ high quality of life in Vancouver area
+ wildlife is gorgeous
+ generally happy population
- very liberal desu
- huge asian population, apparently rathe rude
- extremely costly to live in Vancouver
>>
>>52666803
That's a good list although I disagree with some points. It is an interesting pov

>>52666803
>- very liberal desu

demonstrably false
>>
>>52666802
I'm actually a mix of White, Native American and Jew (only 6,5% jew though)
>>
>>52666857
Why are you even going to bother arguing against that its true.
>>
>>52666865
> 6.5% jew

Do you think the Gestapo cares about that?

Vancouver is crazy expensive and is pretty much a Chinese colony at this point

I spend six months there and woah.. (it was great) but it felt like I was in Beijing from time to time

kek, just want to know the perspective of a foreigner who spent a decent amount of time here
>>
>>52666872
Not him, but I've lived in BC my entire life and moved to many different locations throughout. The Chinese population is literally only noticeable in the Vancouver area. Go to Vancouver island, the okanagan, the interior or north and you'll encounter 90-99% whites. Vancouver is huge, yes and had a huge Chinese base, but BC is much more than that city
>>
>>52666968
desu i wrote the list with immigration priorities and theres a 90% chance he'll move to GTA, Vancouver, Montreal or Ottowa
