    Congratulations on your move, Frank. I look forward to learning more about Calgary through your future videos. My best advice to you as you begin this next chapter of your life is to "expect it to go well." Eliminate any fear you may have about anything. Wherever you go, wear a great big smile and expect that you will be welcomed and appreciated by everyone. Life is a mirror. Remember that whatever you project onto it will be reflected back onto you. Therefore, give the world the best of yourself. Wishing you much joy and happiness in your new home! 🙂👍

    Congratulations, man! If I was not so tied down to Ontario, I'd definitely consider moving to Calgary. That's how I found your channel in the first place all those years back.
    My wife and I were planning on going this summer since we've never been to Alberta, but some things got in the way. It looks to be the kind of mid-key (not low-key or high-key) type of place we're about (which is why we chose Ottawa over Toronto).
    I wish you all the best on your new Calgary journey!

      Virak bro! Always good to hear from you. You bet man - containers are the way to go. Only piece of advice I can think of it make sure to place most your items in boxes, so they are stackable for the movers (makes it a lot easier and makes more room within the container itself).

    What is your reason to move to Calgary this time? There’s nothing wrong with moving back and forth. I have a friend who had experienced a few different places in Canada. She moved out of Calgary and moved back because to her, this is the best place to raise a family and it suits her family’s life style

    So what are your costs of living in Calgary? Other than housing, like car insurance, groceries, things like that. How do the non-rent costs compare?
    Also, did you buy your condo or are you renting it?
    Thanks for sharing your experiences with us! Honestly I was more into Edmonton than Calgary, but both places have their own gems.

    • @FrankHuynh
      @FrankHuynh  25 днів тому

      Short answer: pretty much the same. It's the housing situation in Toronto that I REALLY noticed the difference.

      Depending on the year of make, some get vehicle inspection exemption. The Registry checks and would tell you if your vehicle qualifies. But I think this is agreement between some provinces and Alberta; might not be the case for all provinces.

    To all you people looking at calgary -dont be a sheep. Unless you have a secure remote job dont upend your life because you saw pictures of banff and the same moraine lake advertised everywhere.
    Calgary is a trap. High unemployment, high insurnace, high utilities, car needed for everything. Difficult career progression. Be careful of all realtors and landlords commenting.

      Although I am now a realtor - I don’t recommend moving anywhere without work lined up. I made the move back in 2021 with no work and it was stressful and I had difficulties finding a job. I do agree, I hope no one watches my vids and think they should default move to Calgary - there’s a lot more to consider outside the beautiful blue waters and mountains in Banff.

Two years later...I have 2 mortgages. Hahaaha.. it should be different this time.
