The majority of women are FUGGIN TERRIBLE...AVOID
The system in Toronto is designed in a way which siphons the earnings of the working class to enrich the top percentile. Rent extraction is very literal in Toronto, where people just work hard to pay more and more rent or mortgage to a landlord or bank.
Those who were already rich to begin with decades ago are ahead of everyone, and those who are being lured into this social experiment will become debt serfs for the rest of their lives.
High rents, decline in real wages, high car insurance costs. This city is one giant Mouse Utopia experiment.
I wish to tell you that Toronto doesn't provide these components to their fullest potential if you're not already rich, or an upper middle class Canadian who owns rental properties to profit from the labor of immigrants.
Many Indian nationals arrive in the GTA to pay $500 a month to share a bed with several other people inside a room, living WORSE than the slums of the Philippines, but paying the monthly Filipino wage to live in such crowded conditions.
The only jobs that newcomer Indian nationals get are labor and warehouse jobs with low pay and little job security. And when there are mass layoffs, some of the young Indian guys commit suiside and return to India in a jar of ashes (cremation).
Canada is selling newcomers a lie based on an economy that no longer exists. Canadians are feeling the squeeze, but the government plans to worsen this housing and economic crisis by opening the floodgates to more greater fools.
Canada was and is designed for the wealth elites who profit from this miserable economic malaise.
People are being forced to pay $800 or more a month in rent TO SHARE A BED with several other people inside a room. No chance of even getting your own apartment to rent! It's too expensive and there are no good paying jobs!
Toronto is a subtle politically correct police state which protect the capital of the rich and their public sector cronies.
You'll be working minimum wage and paying rent to sleep with a stranger, while the overpaid cops enforce the law to protect the rich. Canada is HELL.
Dual income professional couples have to work over a decade just to save a 5% downpayment, because rents are as high as the mortgage for a house.
Quality of life in Toronto is going down. People are paying $500 a bed to share a room with several other international students.
This is supposed to be Canada and not some overpopulated slum.
Do you realize that Canada is scamming you because Canadians are already stuck in a debt trap and broke?
Tent cities are common. Homeless is s as dire issue. Inequality is getting worse.
Getting approved for a room is even difficult. They charge $800 a month to share a room with someone else.
Toronto is becoming a third world slum.
After the mandatory vaccine program many doctors and nurses just retired or left. Yes they have great health care but what's the point when you wait months for your turn because doctors are hard to find.
Costs are incredibly high right now. Toronto is almost twice as expensive as New York. Living in Bucharest now I find it easier to live, doctors at every corner (private health infrastructure rivals that of Toronto), transit is way better, prices way cheaper and after a couple of years working here I can afford to buy a home.
I'm gonna work at canada
My skills are web design,Network,Database and Teaching English
Could you help me to find a appropriate job?
Let me summarize pros and cons here…
Pros:
Big, fast growing city
Criminal situation is not bad compare to many other North American cities
Easier to find a job than elsewhere in Ontario
Decent public transportation by North American standards
Nice weather. Good summer, spectacular fall, decent winter and no spring. Usually, winter changes into summer in a couple of short weeks.
Very good community services - excellent library, many ice skating/hockey places, public pools at the community centres
Most public schools are good
Extremely diverse city.
Many immigrants - easy to blend in. Some people claim Toronto is #1 in North America by the number of immigrants per capita
Cons:
Big, fast growing city
VERY expensive daycare
Very expensive real estate prices. A good condo will be a half of a mil CAD. A nice house is over a mil CAD
Land transfer tax in Toronto is almost 2 times higher than elsewhere in Ontario - you have to pay the land transfer tax when you buy a property
Rent is fairly expensive and not always includes the utilities. On many occasions the tenant has to pay hydro as well as the rent
Beer is very expensive
Conclusion:
I have to agree with many that if your income is under $50k, the life is not good in Toronto. Child care is VERY expensive. Public transportation is not cheap - $3.25 a ride. But! You don’t pay for the transfer. You can travel entire city east to west to the airport for $3.25 using a bus, subway, and another bus or a streetcar.
The bottom line - if you make close to 6 digits, the life is good in Toronto.
