davidcastre - Toronto or Vancouver are media hubs, very expensive and Toronto is worse winters, but it's at the centre. Montreal is big too but you got to have the French.

Cost for a family of 3 to live on. Rents are up there and you can look on craigslist (add city name) to see private adds. craigslist toronto. Coming from Ecuador with all your Canadian Immigration papers, Right of Permanent Residence, or another similar sponsorshsip visa from an employer.

It took me over 16 months to get my wife's'Right of Permanent Residence Visa. Every country has a different length of waiting period. Copy and paste the link above into your search window.

With a permanent job offer, the process will move along.

Victoria, British Columbia is the nicest city in Canada and the warmest. I live in Nanaimo just over an hour north on Vancouver Island. I think Nanaimo is the best city in Canada with mother nature so close and good fishing.

good luck

Coincidentally I live in Nanaimo too and concur with everything the other Poster said. I sponsored my husband to come here from the USA and the process has taken right at the 2 yr mark to get him Permanent Residence.

Rent in both Vancouver and Toronto is high but slightly less if you can get into the suburbs.

Our dollar is sinking against the American $$ too making the cost of living higher each month.

Best of luck with whatever decision you make.
