Dude why are you even considering America? If you like the UK and you enjoy democracy hate racism and hypocrisy. Then Canada is the country you want to consider moving to. The country is even ruled by the Queen who remains our head of state. Morally and ethically Canada and the UK are nearly a match.

The US economically will never recover but Canada has vast resources and a lower population to support. In Canada there are multiple different environments. If you don't mind snow then Toronto or Ottawa would be smart choices. If you don't like snow then Vancouver and the lower mainland in British Columbia would be the place to go. Want a job in gaming move to Montréal and you will get the impression you are in the EU.

Canada is the absolute perfect country to consider. Plus if you move here you can visit the US often. You get the best of both worlds. Canada has almost everything America does except the NetFlix library lol.


I've been thinking about moving to Ontario as well, I'd probably enjoy it more as well. As much as the Summers are spectacular I'm not sure on the Winters, I'm sure I'd get used to that though.

I would recommend Toronto Ontario. The winters here are far milder than the west (Alberta where I used to live had dreadful winters), and the summers are sunny and warm (some weeks can be too warm). You have Lake Ontario (massive lake) where you can go for a swim if you like, and you can drive to the mountains if you enjoy skiing in the winter, you have a wonderful night life, a VERY eclectic city, a great indie music scene, a great art scene, great cuisine, you are a couples hours away from the US. It is a very happening city, you get hollywood movie premieres here, every band on the planet passes through this city at some point or another, it close enough to the UK so you can visit friendsd and family with ease (can get a direct flight - Vancouver is about 5 or 6 hours from Toronto, yes Canada is massive, so that is another 5 to 6 hours to get to the UK, plus another couple hours if you have a connection within canada). You will probably be coming here for university, and Toronto has several world reknowned universities. And if you love it so much that you decide to live here then it has a bussling job market as well. And there is probably less racism/hate here than the US and UK.

Someone was saying that living in the south or bible belt is a bad idea, it depends where you live though. I lived in Oklahoma for about 4 years and met some of the best people there. It is not as close-minded as some think (those people are ones who probably never lived there and are making generalizations based on what they see on TV or what they hear). I had a great time there, I left not because of the people, but the place itself just doesn't have that much to offer.

Basically, Toronto is the shiz! Do your research though, don't just rely on what we have to say.
