Many people do not realize how important is a question: Where am I going to live? You, probably, already have visas and medical forms in your hands. Probably, you think you know were to go. You may have even flight tickets ready, but...
ARE YOU SURE?
Ask yourself one more time: What do I know about my destination? What the reason to go there? Big city? Friends? Relatives? Climate? Job? Anything else?

Entertainment: You will have big choice of places to go. Plus, Calgary is just one hour of driving from Banff, three hours from Edmonton etc. How about Stampede?

Climate is very dry. We have about 10-15% of humidity in the winter [but 50% in a summer time]. That is why you can see people walking without hats when thermometer shows -25. In a summer we have 20-25 degrees and a lot of sun shine. In Calgary you can survive cold much easier then in Winnipeg or Toronto.

A lot of people from inside Canada moved in Calgary last time for different reasons. Mainly, because Alberta offers high quality of life for the cheapest prise in Canada, not to mention the great job opportunities.
