An American will probably be most comfortable in Alberta or Ontario. Alberta is very American due to the many US companies down there. I've read that around 10% of the people down there are Americans. The economy is probably best there.
IMO, BC is really going downhill. There are
a lot more weirdos and rude aholes down there. It looks like the weirdos have left Hastings and spread.

Come to Brunei, the country where there hasn't been a murder case for years, and where no one is intelligent enough to even contemplate murder/suicide.
Isn't it almost impossible to get a Brunei citizenship?
I am interested in hearing about life in Canada; Vancouver BC in particular. Tsu and I have considered leaving the US for many years. In light of the election we are more serious than ever. This place is getting scary!
Your family hasn't immigrated much, have they?
You make it sound so damn easy. To just move - like customs will simply let you waltz in.
But as you mentioned, you are a science professional so you'll have a better chance. An even better one if you have an education and a good sum of money.
THE BEER AND THE WOMEN are reason enough to come over to the dark side
Maybe in Quebec, but not Ontario.
Our students perform above the USA in school rankings so it would be a better place to raise children.
Isn't the Ontario school system vastly different from that of other Provinces in Canada (excluding Quebec)? Univeresities have different requirements for Ontario schooling.
The problem with the Canadian school system is that they don't really separate students. In the US, they have more money for more classes. In Canada, the bad, average and good students could all get stuck together in the same english, science or math class. The schooling in British Columbia can simply be horrible.
My Dad lives in Vancouver but I'm on the East Coast. From my experience Vancouver B.C. is the most beautiful city I've ever scene. I find the air quality magnificent and the weather to be great in Vancouver.
The cost of buying an apartment or a house is outragous in Vancouver though. Medical professions and most other professions probably receive less pay; however, in Canada I haven't heard tell of anyone with a good education and decent people skills not finding work and getting by - but I'm young.
In BC, I know quite a few people with bachelors in Computer Science or other degrees in technology that can't find work. B.C.'s economy isn't exactly great...or good. They have that new, "acheive BC" program now.
Seeking will be shocked at the prices of houses in B.C. and the tax.
That's such a poor 'joke.' It makes absolutely no sense. But is that seriously the mindset of a lot of Americans? That Canada is just like the States or aspires to be or is more or less controlled by America?
As far as Ontario and Alberta goes - yes. Whether you'd like to admit it or not, have much US influence.
