Hello Patricia!
Greetings from Brazil!
I'm planning to move to Calgary soon.
It was amazing finding your channel on UA-cam. Please keep going on!
Amazing!!! Hope you have a great move and thank you for watching ☺️☺️
@@patricialing Thank you! 🙋♀️✨
Hi
your honest opinion and detailed explanation is much appreciated.
you are absolutely right about reversal lane ,Jarvis street in downtown Toronto has a reversal lane in the middle of the road and its confusing.
I will be visiting Calgary in the beginning of April, hopefully no hail by then, lol
Thanks for watching! And yes hope there is none when you come to visit lol! Have a safe trip ☺️
super informative video! thank you and now i have a better picture of expectations when i move to calgary next month!
Hi Patricia,
What a pleasant surprise to stumble across your channel like this, definitely subbed😃
I'm an early career Petroleum Engineer looking to make my move to Calgary within the next 1 to 2 years. I'm currently in Australia where the oil and gas industry is very small, so this is a career driven decision. I hope you don't mind giving me your thoughts on this please ?
Hello! Thank you for subscribing ☺️ that’s awesome that you plan to move out here! Calgary is an awesome Canadian city. Now with the oil and gas industry, there are jobs for them. I would recommend securing one before you come out here as sometimes they can be hard to come by especially if you want a certain position. (Just like any other job) I do know that people that work for oil and gas do travel a lot throughout Alberta, they will work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks off or depending on the place you work for. You usually commute or get flown into a different part of Alberta for the actual work but I know some people do work from home which may be the case for your position. Sorry I am unfamiliar with petroleum engineer and what it consists of, but I am sure you will find a position out here. Definitely gets very cold here compared to AUS but very beautiful to live here ☺️ hope this helps a little bit. Thanks for watching
Cost off living houses are very affordable, food is pricey and depending on what you buy.
The weather is amazing….. but sometimes it’s very cold.
When I moved here from T.O. I lived in a townhouse condo with a garage. I have never had a problem.
Yes I miss the lakes and tress…
The recycling fee is included with Ontario you never see it when you return it. The good thing is you get the money back in Alberta.
Thank you for watching!! :D Happy you are sharing your experience with myself and others!
@@patricialing Hi Patricia, nice work. You get the money back for recycling? My understanding was that you should pay for it, not the other way around. Can u clarify, please?
@@ruabossy4700 hi, for the bottles and glass bottles for recycling you bring them to a bottle depot to get the money back that you pay for it at the grocery/store :) so originally you pay a certain amount but can get monies back for returning the bottles to the store
@@patricialing I see, thanks for the clarification. What if you decide not to drive and recycle, what's then?
@@ruabossy4700 there is usually a bottle depot in every community, so if you decide to not drive one should be close to where you live or you can take transit :)
Very informative yet again! Thank you 😊 more videos about Calgary please!
Thanks for watching
Hi Patricia great video . I do windshield replacement if you ever need one I would be glad to help
Great Video as always, Waiting for the next one.
Thank you very much! Appreciate it ☺️
Thanks for making this video. It's very informative
Thank you :)
I'm moving from the UK to Calgary this has helped massively! ❤️
Oh amazing!! Congratulations, hope you have a safe move! If you want any more information or want to see certain types of videos please let me know x
Thank you! We're taking another trip next April to finalize our plans! If you have any tips of meeting people if you that would be great as my partner will most likely be working away! Xx
@@rebeccacrossland5833 That's super exciting!! If you're on Facebook, there is many girl meet up groups and different types of groups on there. For hobbies like Hiking, skiing, snowboarding etc. The ones I can recommend for women friendships are; Calgary ladies friend network and girls connect Calgary :)
@@rebeccacrossland5833 How do you like it? (I lived there for 2 years and might be going back)
People get a lot of facial injections here. Also I'm not sure why people say there's no swimmable lakes to swim in the summer. I've found numerous warm and cold lakes that are fine to swim in. The Bow is great to swim in too.
I’ve swam in two Jack, bow lake and the bow river! Not too bad :) thanks for your opinion and for watching!
Thank you very much for your informative videos on Calgary, Alberta.. looking forward to more videos.. new subscriber here..
Thanks so much for watching and your subscribe 🥰
I wanna so much Go to Calgary, thanks for the informations
Super informative, what types of jobs are easy to find and which ones arent? what are the strongest industries? Thank you!
Thank you for watching! Based on my experience, any job in healthcare, trucking/towing industry, food and beverage, jobs in trades, delivery drivers/couriers and retail. I found these positions to be hiring the most. You can also look up your type of field and see what the results are! I appreciate the support :)
Hello Patricia, how is the public transport system in Calgary? For anyone without a personal car is easy to move within the city?
From my knowledge, it’s pretty decent!! To be fair I haven’t taken public transportation, only a few times but from people I know they said it’s not bad ☺️
@@patricialing Wonderful! Thanks for the kind insights. Keep well 🙏
@@esther-mordecai anytime!! You aswell 🙏🏽

Hello.
In your opinion which is better for real estate calgary or edmonton?
I heard from my friends that edmonton for families is better and you save more
I don't have much experience with Edmonton but I do personally know a family that has moved there and they would prefer it there. It is more cost efficient from my knowledge then calgary since it would be considered less desirable for some people.

Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the video. BTW, you are comparing Calgary (a citiy) with Ontario - (a huge province.) Which part of Ontario are you using as a reference?
Mostly southern Ontario :) thanks for watching
Yes.. this is a huge discrepancy.
@@colouredlioness2199 thanks for the feedback
@@colouredlioness2199 There is no discrepancy at all. Ontario is Ontario and no matter where you live in Ontario, the rules are the same across the province. She was talking about the rules which are relevant to all places in Ontario.
Planning to move there in 2 yrs cuz if shit doesn’t go down here in BC I already accepted it that I Will never own anything in BC .
Its hard to own property in BC I've heard :( Good luck!!
@@patricialing totally… our generations are mostly renting. Some ppl just gave up and just rent townhouses or homes that charge whooping $3000 a month because quality of life is very important to them, but couldn’t afford to buy .
I live in an old apartment one bedroom and it’s freaking $1600 a month . I could easily afford to rent a townhome but it’s throwing money away to the drain. I might have to make a hard decision if I don’t want to be poor 😭😭😭
Vancouver is an expensive shit hole for Canadians, but a haven for dirty money from overseas.
@@allhailsunshine052 I'm living in Surrey, it's very hard to buy a house here. 1.5 million for a detached house. Planning to move to Calgary soon
How is the job market for registered nurses in Calgary? greetings from Belgium
I would say high demand! Health care professions have high demand here for employment. Woo Belgium! Cheers! :D
Is Calgary liveable without a car?
Yes a lot of people don’t have a vehicle but if you are commuting far for work I would recommend one. Also depending where you live and how far you need to get to. But we have transit here (train and bus)
@@patricialing honestly that's one of my big fears of not living in one of the big cities. I get so much driving anxiety and am quite accustomed to transit/cycling.
I'm looking at different provincial programs for express entry and Alberta has some good opportunities
"Ontario is not far either!" : Can somebody explain?
I can explain no worries, the meaning behind is that it’s not too far to get to by plane and definitely not driving.
The plane ride is about 4.5 hours.
One of the worse cities in Canada...its winter 8 months out of the year and there is absolutely nothing to do and the only city in Canada where you lose money invested in real estate! I lived there for 4 years and thank god I left... back to T.O.
Thanks for your feedback! 😁
I agree with the real estate and winters definitely can be long 😞
Real estate should not be for making big bucks. Real Estate owners making Canada less livable and they want more and more. Greedy pigs. Calgary is a great city. Good thing you moved back to crazy Toronto.
No jobs yet people are still moving in
