Top 10 Most Affordable Places To Live In Canada Check now Canada stands out as an ideal choice for individuals aspiring to migrate, Canada is famous for being one of the safest places to reside. It has consistently been a beloved destination for those seeking a secure environment, a high quality of life, and a commitment to clean air. The advantages of moving to Canada become evident quickly.

The country’s diverse geography and vibrant urban centers contribute to its attraction as an appealing destination for newcomers looking for a new beginning. Quebec, a French-speaking province, boasts six exceptional cities, while New Brunswick has four cities recognized as the best places in Canada.

With its outstanding quality of life, stunning natural landscapes, and celebrated multiculturalism, Canada is secured its position among the world’s top nations.

Similar to the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Canada’s Medicare system provides essential healthcare services to everyone based on their needs rather than their financial capacity. The funding for this system comes from Canadian citizens contributing through taxes, ensuring universal accessibility. This relieves a serious burden for the majority of hardworking Canadians and is particularly encouraging for British immigrants accustomed to the advantages of a publicly funded health service.

Canada boasts a diverse climate, ranging from permafrost in the North to milder temperatures in the South. During summer, certain regions can experience temperatures reaching up to 35 degrees Celsius. While autumn is brief, it displays a spectacular display of vibrant colors that becomes an eagerly expected annual event.

While winters in Canada can be chilly, the country effectively manages the cold weather. For those seeking milder winters, British Columbia is a good destination. Vancouver and Victoria, are the warmest cities in Canada, maintain average winter daily highs of 7.1 degrees Celsius and 9 degrees Celsius, respectively, rarely dropping below zero.

The top 10 affordable places in Canada and the average cost of living are listed below.

Provincial Nominee Programs

Individuals who wish to immigrate to a specific province or territory in Canada can obtain Canadian permanent residence through Canada’s Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs). Immigrants can submit their permanent residency (PR) applications online through the Express Entry system. finally, their profiles undergo ranking against one another using a points-based system known as the full Ranking System (CRS). Applicants with the highest CRS scores are then issued an invitation to apply (ITA). Those receiving an ITA must promptly apply within 90 days and fulfill the required processing fees.

The PNP functions as a program where Canadian provinces extend invitations to applicants for Canadian PR based on their specific labor market needs. The eligibility criteria and selection process for the PNP vary from province to province or habitat, with some aiming to address specific job vacancies or sectors.

Adapting to change, and Day 1

Yesterday we started our trip. It’s not the trip I thought I’d be taking. It’s not the one I talked about in my first post, and it’s not the one I spent so many hours planning. That’s unfortunate, that’s okay, I am excited and glad to be on this journey.

What Changed

The road trip across Canada was predicated on the notion that I’d be driving the new car we ordered in January. The estimate for when we’d receive it was 3 months, which would have been the end of April. However, there are global microchip shortages affecting car production, and we still do not have our new car.

I knew this was a possibility, so I have had a rental car booked as a backup for quite some time. This would allow me to still take the tip, but would more than double the cost of the trip. In the end, I decided it makes more sense to postpone the road trip until next year when we have the car.

The New Plan

The first part of the trip has remained the same. Neil and I are on a road trip to Montréal that will take about a week. Instead of continuing across Canada from Montréal on my own, though, we’ll head back to Nova Scotia together. Then, I’m flying to British Columbia for a visit with friends there. 

There will still be road tripping. There will still be camping. There will still be time with loved ones and friends. It’s summer, and it’s vacation!

Day 1

Neil and I woke up bright and early and packed Kona, our rental car, with all the supplies we’ll need for our week-long road trip to Québec. We got on the road at around 7:45 am, which was a little later than planned, but still gave us plenty of time for the 1000 km drive to Québec City. 

The weather and roads were pretty perfect except for some rain once we crossed into Québec, but that rain was only heavy briefly, and it dissipated by the time we arrived at our destination.

We made three stops on the way. The first stop was in Amherst. I had to pee.

For lunch, we stopped at the Blue Canoe Irving Big Stop in Fredericton, NB. It had been quite awhile since my last Big Stop meal. It’s not exactly gourmet cuisine, but Big Stops are conveniently located right on the highways, and they have cheap, generously portioned meals. They are also very nostalgic to me - I have many memories of meals at the Big Stops in Saint John, which was very near to where I grew up, and the one in Salisbury, which was on the road between Halifax and Saint John, so a common stopping place when making the trip home to visit my friends and family. Big Stops feel familiar and comfortable. Like home.

Our last stop was a quick refuel and stretch in Edmunston. There are six exits from the highway into Edmunston. I told Neil we should just assess each one as we came to it and see which one felt right. We decided on the 3rd exit, and it served our needs.

As we passed into Québec from New Brunswick, Neil contemplated how long it has been since we’ve left the maritimes. It’s been longer for him than for me, but it feels like a long time. It’s nice to be traveling and exploring after the isolation and restrictions Covid brought with it.

Another thing we realized upon entering Québec is the time change. Our devices automatically updated to reflect the hour we gained, but we had both somehow forgotten that this would happen... We laughed about not having considered this extra hour, and felt even better about the time we made on a long day of driving.

We checked in to our hotel, the Hôtel-Musée Premières Nations in Quebec City. I’d heard about this hotel several times recently, and it seemed like a very special place. We didn’t get to explore the hotel much, but we did make it to the hotel restaurant, La Traite, for dinner. They brought us the cutest, tiniest cups of pea soup, as well as bannock and ciabatta breads to start. For our main course, they brought us mashed potatoes to share. Neil ordered the bison, and I got deer. They were both delicious! 

After dinner, we were both pretty tired, and also mentally an hour ahead... so we turned in pretty early.

Trekking on la route verte: From Riviere du loup (qc) to Edmunston (NB)

Nothing new tonight but it is still a bit too hot. I may go on the deck with my recharged computer. Yes, I am on the deck now and it is wayyyy better. I wa reading L’amant by Marguerite Duras and she said how, as a teenager and child, she envied those who could sleep outside in the summer. I once camped on my parents’ yard. To practice before leaving on a three weeks trip of hiking and camping alone with my dog in eastern quebec, by the St Lawrence river (Riviere du Loup). It was an excellent solitary trip with my new dog I had gotten about 3-4 months before that year (2002). I still remember the day I got him: April 8th, 2002. And I left for Riviere du Loup around July or August. I felt incredibly lonely for the whole trip if I remember correctly. And me and the dog once got very ill from drinking polluted water in a blasting heat wave when I ran out of water. Thankfully, there were also source waters holes along the way that were pure.

The trek I did was called La route verte (the green road) and it is usually for bikes. It is an old train track that crosses to New Brunswick, where we ended our trip (in Edmunston). I did not have a camera back then unfortunatly and i have since then lost my diary of the time. However very lonely I felt for most of the three weeks, it was an extraordinary adventure. Many very beautiful sceneries, crossing nature parks on the outside of small villages and towns.I’d pitch my tent wherever and whenever I was too tired to continue. My longest day of trekking was 25 km with about 50liters on my back in the heat of the summer. I was quite fit I suppose back then. I was about 26 years old. My smallest day of trekking was 11km, starting at 5-6am and ending at 11am to pitch my tent in a campsite near St something something village. I stayed about three days there. I had to walk to the vet outside of town to go get the supply of high protein food for my dog. I hitchhiked on the way back: it was 10 km away from the campsite. I forget the names of the towns. There was St Honoré and St Jacques (an amazing campsite in NB). There was St Louis du ah ah. And edmunston. These are the only ones I remember. It is a very long time ago. I did not meet any bears on the trail but I did see plenty of bear poop. Especially while traveling the ‘crest’ of the old train track between two villages in particular.  Most of the trekking was in wild nature but there was plenty of hiking right next to a highway in the dust and brutal sun too. That is where I found the source water coming out of the rocks (there was a sign saying ‘source water’). It was a very beautiful adventure with Jerry, my spca dog of about 5-6 years old I had gotten 3 months before. After that we were bonded solid for the rest of our lives.

https://www.bassaintlaurent.ca/fr/quoi-faire/velo/

P.S. It is a bike path and i think it is illegal to hike it, even back then. I met no one that told me off except one person that warned me not to get in trouble because I was hiking. I hiked the section called Le petit Témis. Jerry and I took the train from montreal to get to Riviere du Loup , stayed the night in the town’s park, and started the three weeks hike the morning after.

New Brunswick implements 'circuit breaker' measures heading into Thanksgiving weekend

As COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations continue to rise in New Brunswick, the province is implementing circuit breaker measures.

The new restrictions will last a minimum of 14 days in regions that are the highest risk.

That includes parts of Zone 1 (Moncton region), parts of Zone 3 (Fredericton region) and the entirety of Zone 4 (Edmunston region).

As part of the circuit breaker, people must limit their contacts to a single household.

It means that indoor and outdoor gatherings are not permitted beyond a single household, except in public places where proof of vaccination is required.

Travel to and from circuit breaker areas is also prohibited, except for work, health-care services, post secondary education or childcare reasons.

Schools will stay open, but sports and extracurricular activities will be paused for 12 and under.

Businesses, entertainment centres and events can remain open and continue to accept those who provide proof of vaccination as well as children under 12 who are accompanied by a vaccinated adult.

The restrictions will take effect at 6 p.m. on Friday for a minimum of 14 days.

THANKSGIVING WEEKEND RESTRICTIONS

New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs says social gatherings of unvaccinated residents are driving the province’s current COVID-19 situation.

As a result, public health is requiring that everyone limit their contacts to single household for outdoor and indoor gatherings during the Thanksgiving weekend, beginning on Friday at 6 p.m. through Monday at 11:59 p.m.

"The area of greatest concern right now is casual, in-home gatherings," Higgs said.

MANDATORY VACCINES FOR PROVINCIAL WORKERS

New Brunswick will also begin implementing mandatory vaccinations for workers in certain sectors of the provincial government. It also includes those working in long-term care and early childhood education.

The deadline to provide proof of two doses is Nov. 19, six weeks from Friday.

In the interim, those who are not fully vaccinated and come in contact with a positive case will be placed on leave without pay.

Early learning and childcare facilities that do not ensure their staff is fully vaccinated by Nov. 19 will face the possibility of losing their licence.

CASE DATA

The province is also reporting one COVID-19 related death and 90 new infections on Tuesday.

The most recent death is a person in their 80s in the Edmunston region. It brings the total number of COVID-19 related deaths in New Brunswick to 69.

The province currently has 782 active cases of COVID-19.

There are 50 people in the hospital, 23 of which are in the ICU.

"The great majority of these hospital patients, 82 per cent, have not been vaccinated," said Dr. Jennifer Russell, chief medical officer.

Of those in hospital, seven are vaccinated, two have one dose and 41 are unvaccinated.

"The growing caseload of COVID patients is straining our system," said Russell.

"We have been managing … but it is really at the point where things are extremely, extremely stretched."

This story will be updated.

NEW BRUNSWICK

Sep11/21

Hello from Atlantic Canada,

Geez , they get up early here. Another new time zone.

Forest time. Yesterday we cycled on a trail through the woods all day. It was tougher then the river valleys we were accustomed to on this leg . In the morning we escalated 2000 ft .And Edmunston kept moving as our bikes tallied 152 k. Dark when we got to our 3 star.

The trees are just starting to turn. It’s a little early for the renowned colours of NB but the changes are noticeable. Part of the ride yesterday was through cottage country and the cabin shuttering was another sure sign that fall is on the way. . It was a many Saints day again as we exited Quebec, our favourite village name was St Louis du Ha Ha.

Today we peddled through Madawaska country and are destined for Perth-Andover.

All of us remember where we were 20 years ago today. Unless directly impacted with personal losses society moved on. Changes brought on by those horrid events are with us today and we accept them. Air travel for example. As the song of the day says , most people are good.

Cheers

Bill and Ken
