Hello,
I have been seriously thinking about moving from Edmonton to Toronto or Montreal when I graduate from college in Decemeber. Right now, I am more inclined to choose Toronto just because my French is mediocre at best.
I've lived in Edmonton my whole life. My main reasons for wanting to move to Toronto are:
-Way bigger music scene (I love playing and listing to live music)
-Winter is not as harsh
-There seems to be a lot of IT related jobs (The field I have trained in)
-I don't want to own a car
-I want to stay in Canada
-It's closer to other large cities like NYC
-It's not full of rig pigs and their rig rockets
-I have some extended family in the GTA
Is there anyone who's lived in both Montreal and Toronto (or even better, Edmonton, Montreal and Toronto) and could compare them? How competitive is the job market (considering I will only have 8 months of experience in my field and a 2 year diploma)? How bad is crime in Toronto? How open are Torontonians to "outsiders"? What makes Toronto great?
I've only been there once when I was 13 and will definetly visit again before I make any decisions. I'm also debating wheather I should tough it out here for another year or so and get some more work experience.
Thanks
