Would you uproot your life, leaving behind your family, your job etc if you dont like the weather in a country.

(Obviously theres always more than one advantage of moving someplace but to build a life somewhere, would weather be top 3 factors in choosing where to live).

    I’m going to move next year, and the weather definitely is one of the reasons (not the main reason though). At least half of the year the temperature here is above 30°c, 60%+ humidity and basically no wind. I somewhat got used to it after a decade here, but I’m sure I’ll spend more time outside when I move away.

          Not worried about the housing crisis? I see a lot post about it but I don’t really know what is it like. If you have a good job in IT, is it still an issue?

            IT in Canada doesn’t pay that great, not compared to the salaries you see in the US at least.

            It’s incredibly unaffordable in BC, Ontario, and Quebec. Maritimes and prairies are decently affordable.

                It’ll vary depending on the city, but generally not. Finding something affordable near downtown Toronto or Vancouver will be next to impossible, while in smaller cities like Edmonton, Calgary, or Ottawa, it will just be really, really hard.

            It’s definitely an issue. I’m saving up some money before moving there next year.
