What is life like as an expat in your area?
When we asked people living abroad what life is like in their areas and how people spend their time, they said...
"Living in Canada as an expat or digital nomad offers many advantages. Due to its high standard of living and welcoming society, it is a great place to live. There are plenty of major cities to choose from, each offering a unique cultural experience and vibrant nightlife. Canadian cities are well connected, with public transportation, bike paths, and ride-sharing services making it easy to get around. The country also offers many outdoor activities such as skiing, hiking, and surfing, plus national parks, forests, and lakes. The cost of living in Canada is slightly higher than other western countries, so expats and digital nomads often need to budget carefully. The local healthcare is world-class and expats from all over the world can easily find English-speaking doctors and services. Canada also has a culture of multiculturalism, allowing expats and digital nomads to explore and take advantage of the diversity and friendly locals," wrote a member who made the move to Canada.
