Housing costs are cheaper in smaller cities
And remember, that while many newcomers land in Canada’s largest cities (Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal), most of the mid-sized and small cities have many of the same public and private amenities and services found in large cities but with a much lower cost of living, particularly when it comes to renting or buying a home.
Cities in Western Canada remain the biggest bargains in terms of rent and home prices.
