The city is very safe and lots of free parking but the demographic has definitely changed since I was a kid, which is not a bad thing but it is definitely become very crowded. I love Mississauga but you definitely need a car to get around.

    I moved to Mississauga from Nothern Ontario a year ago and I love it here. Here's some other things I'd add:
    -It's very close to the Pearson Airport
    -There are a ton of good paying factory jobs in the northern part of the city heading into Brampton
    -1 hour drive to Niagara Falls and bridge to USA
    Also, coming from Northern Ontario, the winters here are SO much more bearable than they are up north.

      agreed, except the transit is probably the best in comparison with other ones ive experienced. although I drive now, during my younger years I bussed quite a bit, and busses never came late and maybe 1/100 busses wouldnt show, compared to other cities in the GTA, miway transit is definitely the best. nightlife is dead unless you're into bars around square one or port credit.

    Mississauga's an okay enough city to live in but can be quite boring. I always find myself going into Toronto proper to escape the monotony. The only nice areas are Port Credit and Streetsville, which you can get tired of visiting after awhile. Businesses close too early, no real nightlife. And no real job opportunities here, unless you're content working in a factory.

    @AtharAfzal Před 2 lety +3

    What a great video on mississauga.
    Although it gives such a great marketing video of Mississauga - I must say that the neighboring cities are far better as Mississauga is extremely crowded. You will face long lines at the grocery stores, a lot of traffic on the streets, schools not as well equipped with resources, condos with high maintenance fees, etc.
    Transit within the city is not as good however the GO train is a great option but that only gives you access to downtown.
    As he mentioned job opportunities are really good as there are a lot of companies there, one needs to realize a lot of people from other communities also take up jobs in Mississauga which contributes to more difficulty in obtaining jobs as it's more competitive and it also contributes to more traffic.
    Overall it's a nice city but getting more crowded and I'm noticing it's not as clean as it used to be in the early 2000s.
    Other things about Mississauga is Square One mall which I would say is probably one of the best malls in the GTA.

    I remember when Mississauga was a sleepy suburb in the 1970s. Now it is entire city in itself. Unrelated, is Dane FtM?

      @@Moving2Canadainfo Lol! Not that there's anything wrong with unicorns. More related comment, when did Burlington become part of the GTA? Grew up in Dundas here and Burlington was considered a Hamilton suburb.

      I was thinking the same thing. I believe he is a transman.

    Very good city, but only if you are super rich, I am leaving it for Calgary after spending a decade here.
