I’m Canadian, and I absolutely loved 🥰 this video! I love the UK, but I’ll always live in Canada 🇨🇦 🍁 🇬🇧

I'm a Canadian living in the UK, Scotland specifically, and I feel overall this video covered the comparisons well. I find the UK is cheaper for things like public travel (like trains, buses and planes), food, phone and internet plans and rent (depending where you live obviously) but find it to be more expensive for clothes, owning a car as well as the expenses that come with it and anything electronic or technology based. For example, my partner has a car and has to pay for yearly MOTs, road tax, petrol (which is close to double the price of Canada) and insurance where as when I had a car in Ontario, Canada I paid less for gas, no road tax, had a set rate for my yearly license plate sticker (which in Ontario you now no longer have to pay for) and pretty reasonable insurance. On the other side of things, travelling in Canada, as beautiful a country as it is, can be a nightmare due to the sheer size of the country and how long it takes to travel and how expensive it is because of the size. As a kid I'd only seen parts of Canada and a couple bits of the Northern US due to how expensive it can be to fly and having to drive instead. In comparison, since moving to the UK I've been able to easily and relatively cheaply travel to many other European countries and seen a lot within the UK as well. Point is, there are pros and cons to living in both countries and I could see myself bouncing between the two the rest of my life. I genuinely enjoy Canadian winters but hate the heat in the summer there, so would love to go back to Scotland in the summer for the cooler temps. Both Canada and the UK are great in their own ways and I'm lucky to get to experience both.

I'm American. Lived in Canada and now live in the UK. Both are incredible places to live and work. Canada is great for the outdoors and especially if you love being out in the wilderness. The UK, well England, is highly urbanised but it's countryside is gorgeous! ❤ I think this is now going to be my pernament home. Love life in England.

While born in England, I grew up in Canada. I've been back, and while I am still British in many ways, I think Canada is a better place. I live in the Yukon, which is 99% virgin wilderness. There is room to think, and play up here! I once drove 295km on the main highway, and did not see a single vehicle on the road. Of course, this was only just past half way to the nearest city (of 28, 000) from where I live! If you like space around you though, Canada is the place to be.

I love living in Canada, but I'm Canadian lol. I've lived in almost every province. Done coast to coast roadtrips here. Traveled to other countries. Never lived in an country so I guess I'm happy here.

Moving to Vancouver from the UK at the end of the year and I cannot wait!

Canada and the UK have diverged somewhat over the last 50 years, but I'm heartened during my visits to old Blighty where we are still welcomed not just as friends but as family.

My Great Aunt Kitty emigrated to Canada from Bristol, England, probably after the Second World War. I think she married a Canadian, possibly a serving soldier she would have nursed in Bristol. Aunt Kitty visited us in the 1950s bringing various things from Canada, including magazines and a warm woolly coat for me. I wore it with pride thinking people would think I was Canadian myself!

[bensmith]

Hard choice but I would probably live in the UK (not London) and visit Canada, especially the Rockies ♥

I'm dual UK/Canadian citizen. Good show-down and it's a close call. Have lived in Canada for 25 years am ready for time again in UK. Why? UK has beautiful coastline, countryside, pubs, gorgeous lanes to cycle (S Downs, N Downs) London is beyond amazing compared to all Canadian cities in terms of the sheer scale and drama of the architecture. Love the abundance of trains in UK (compared to Canada anyway!) and being so close to Europe is very cool.
Mind you, I have lived the print off the map in both USA and Canada and would be sad if I hadn't. Hawaii is definitely too far from UK to visit much.
Both sides of the pond have so much to offer, why settle for one when you can have both :)

I adore UK 🇬🇧 and Canada 🇨🇦
The best countries in the world 🌍

My Grandparents on both sides came from England. Manchester and Prestwich. They came to Montreal in 1910. I’m 62, and still in Montreal. My Granny used to refer to England as The Mother Country ( old Vicky I bet) and I still have lots of family in the UK. Grew up other bangers and mash, roast beef and Yorkshire on Sundays and home made fish and chips. Lol. Even have a tea spoon from the visit, in 1939 of George VI and Queen Elizabeth (Queen mum) to Montreal. My grandparents were working class living in Montreal’s East End (now Hochelaga/Maisonneuve) in those flats with the outside corkscrew stairs all their friends were immigrants from the UK.

I have traveled all around the world..and lived in other countries..like people do alot now...but i still love England. even though its not perfect. ...my heart belongs there..my roots. !!

I moved from the UK to Canada for work and currently working on staying forever. Canada is so modern, clean, safe and naturally beautiful. And Canadians are some of the best people you could meet anywhere in the world. The UK and Canada are the best countries in the world in my opinion but Canada is easily a better place to live because there is so much opportunity to make good money here and get wealthier than you ever could in England

[InstantLuc]

I feel a lot of people who grew up in London will prefer Canada and be sick of UK. The reality is, UK's quality of life is usually better outside of London. Lived in both countries and prefer UK hands down for the time being.

Love the video. A small correction is that (according to wikipedia) Vancouver is actually the most densely populated city in Canada, not Toronto. Vancouver has 5, 749 people/km2, where Toronto has 4, 427 people/km2. Both cities are beautiful :)
