We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.

High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland

Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario

Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

Thanks for making this video, it's taught me to not click on any more of your videos.
You're welcome! Do you live in Canada?
Immigroup Inc fuck y’all gun world LMAO 😂
Your the best
You must live in one ☝️
I haved lived in 6 provinces and 1 territory in Canada. I have been coast to coast 9 times. My country isn't perfect, but there is no country in the world that I would trade it for. Where is the narrator from? I wonder if her country is perfect. All in all, this video is a large crock o' shit.
Guess what- living in the country isn't the end of the world. Can't imagine how you'd ever survive it! Oh no you might have to make your own fun and go out and appreciate nature. If these are the worst places in Canada then God knows our country is one of the best around. Cheers from New Glasgow, Nova Scotia.
CHEERS TO THAT. THIS VIDEO SUCKS.
The Happy Old Gay Guy! ! if you din't like our country you just have to stay away from it, we don't really care nor need assholes, and if you are already here then hit the road, we won't force you to stay.
The Happy Old Gay Guy! ! good for you, and us
The Happy Old Gay Guy! ! no great for us, since you left, that foul smell you have is gone with you
The Happy Old Gay Guy! ! hahaha, really i don't hate you but since you seemed to look for trouble i could not resist helping you, you know how we canadians are, we love to help people achieve their goals
Worst speaking voice in the world. Number 1: This woman. ☑️
She talks like she has a wooden stick up her ass..!
This is a computer generated voice...
reverse thrust u right
I was just gonna say that lol
its a computer you dumbass
1. New Glasgow isn't more expensive to live in than NYC. I've lived in both - that's complete crap.
2. I wasn't born there, and lived there until I went to university.
3. It's an hour and a half away from Halifax - get it together.
All of the cities mentioned above are still heaven compared to Iraq.
inthepocket iu
you are idiiiiikot
Last I checked, Canada hasn't just been destroyed by an imperial power, so it's kind of an odd simile to make.
Lots of us have very hard work,.and stay to do double shifts, as long as the place u work at is not ruined by frigging union crap,.That is what makes people do wtf they want, or be lazy cause they can't get fired and ur stuck with their dumb ass,.
Or the USA.
You know you can't take this seriously as anything beyond moralizing, judgemental, superiority from somebody who's never been to Canada when she doesn't know how to pronounce "Newfoundland." And who talks about St. John's major employers but doesn't mention Irving? What a waste of time. I'd rather live anywhere in Canada than anywhere in England.
well said!
your right i cringed every time i heard her say "New Found Land"
+radio boys Why did you cringe every single time you hear the word Newfoundland. I've lived in Newfoundland for about two years. I'm living in Toronto Canada.
Because she pronounced it and Winnipeg wrong.
the UK is just fine. Personally, I don't mind living anywhere as long as the pay is good and you can live and enjoy life, rather than struggle everyday.
Absolutely Ridiculous: "Cost of living 4% higher in New Glasgow, N.S., higher than New York City." The nonsense on these videos!
eric brufatto I love my h9me town new glasgow
it is foolish
This Video is Infested with Jewish Propaganda.
"NEWW GLAZZGOW IZ MORE EXPENZZIVE THEN NUUUU YORK SEEETYY!!!!" My Ass!
I prefer the isolation in Thunder Bay thank you very much we are more self sustainable than many other cities in Ontario
this place is plagued with alcoholism and hard drugs thunder bay is our murder capital
It’s a shithole
Murder bay
Thunder Bay is a dump
@@TheWho58 every city on earth cities has these problems
WHAT IS THIS GARBAGE I JUST WATCHED
Jason C I have no idea LETS PUT IT DOWN THE DRAIN
It's a robo voice
😂 🤣
Seven minutes of your life you will never get back.
Canada oh Canada
I find this video offensive
Armin2U What about it to do you find offensive?
The crime, because it's usually not that big a problem today, in fact, Alberta's police forces have become more better in stopping crime today, than it was back in 2013
Armin2U
There are no cities from Alberta on this list.
Armin2U Me too!!!!
I know, Canada is a great and safe country to live in and visit, But this video is just trying to stereotype the crime rate, which is why I think it's offensive
Best place is here in the Southern Gulf Islands. Best weather year round & laid back. Everyone is friendly
And not a job in sight!!
Lots of jobs here if you are willing to work. I have a great job working for the government
I'll suggest to you that West Isles Parish (Deer Island) in New Brunswick has you beat. Probably very very close though - I would give Deer Island the nod because our ferry runs every half hour most of the day and is free - vehicles and people. And 90% of the people wave. And if there is any doubt so far - my 20 acres with about 500 of ocean front including a beach, cost me $50,000! We do get a bit of winter but this is Canada and Christmas without snow to me is unthinkable. Both great places and certainly better than downtown Saint John, Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver, ....
Shhhhhh Banana Joe, don’t tell anyone else please hard enough to get a place to live!
you need a lot of money to live there. rich retirees probably there
I lived in Thunder Bay with a child and the ex. It was cold and foreboding. The summer was never long enough and winter was freezing and dismal. Not much to do there. But the 'worse' place in Canada is better than the best place in the middle east.
Bullshit..
@@djizzah aahh Dubai, where they put rape victims in jail for adultery because the man who raped her was married, beautiful place!
New Glasgow NS has a cost of living 4% higher than New York City? I have to call bullshit on that one.
It’s bullshit nobody’s gonna spend high money to live in a shit hole
Funny I've always thought of Thunder Bay as being PERFECT!
Saint John, NB is a wonderful place. The people are extremely friendly and most of them share a United Empire Loyalist or Irish background. It does have problems with poverty, but people seem to genuinely love each other and are kind to each other. Again, a wonderful place to live.
what about that big fight between the crackheads and the syrians in the boulevard
Ok can you just stop?
I wasn’t born in newglasgow
But I live there
And I love it
It’s nice here
Oh god forbid you go outside
God forbid you live in a small town
It’s nice here
The weather is fine
Most of these houses are cheap
Everybody’s nice
You know everybody
It’s pretty good
If your a city person you can live here
My best friend is from a big city and she moved here about 3 years ago
She loves it
funny how a group supposedly helping immigrants come to Canada from foreign countries can have anything bad to say about any of our cities. when the simple thing is if it is so bad here why would you bother coming stay in your wonderful country were there is no unemployment, racism, or crime. Or you can go to the U.S. way safer there.
yeah actually, some parts of the u.s. are safer than some canadian cities. it doesn't matter which country your in. smaller towns will always be safe in america and canada. and larger cities will have the higher crime rates, applies both to american and canadian cities. more people =more crime. less people = less crime. when i was in vermont and new hampshire from quebec i felt more safe in those two places than i did visiting in nova scotia. hate to burst your ignorant sarcasm. so many anglo-canadians are insecure and have a huge inferiority complex.
True, but you can move to Ottowa Ontario. it's safe and a good place to live! I live there
+Kendra Stewart isn't Ottawa very expensive?
Yes and very depressing. Google Ottawa Sucks
righttt. we're the racist ones. "cough" Donald Trump "cough"
Actually, Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge (and smaller cities around here) are all great places to live. Also, I'm not being rude, but you can't even pronounce Newfoundland or Winnipeg. Why should immigrants trust you?
Thunder Bay sounds perfect for me!!! Thanks 👍🏻
I had a friend live in Cambridge right next to Kitchener and she loved it in that area.
TheVargr well she is a moron then!
Nanaimo is a tough place to find a decent job. There are only two classes of people in Nanaimo: there are the well paid professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants, etc. and the semi-professionals like teachers, government workers, and the like; And then there are those that wait tables, serve beer, flip hamburgers, and beg.
I am told by a volunteer than many Muslims show up at the food banks these days, which may me wonder even more why we brought them here!! Why bring them to Canada if they are unemployable?
OMG, this is so funny because I moved to New Glasgow only a couple moths ago! It's not bad. Came here to buy a nice house at an affordable price. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was number 1 on this video!
Doomsday
Sydney Blinick whats up?
I guess by now you know why its number one.
Very very late comment but don’t listen to this dipshit
On behalf of Port Huron, I apologize (even though I live in Utah). BTW, how good of a place is Windsor considering the fact that Detroit is often considered to be on of the worst places in the USA?
How many places did you get your sources from? Also if more than one which ones? I'm not hating just want to know what you uses to make this video
Money Sense and StatsCan, primarily. Also, the article the video is based on was written well before it was turned into a video. So the original article is probably 4-5 years old at this point.
I take offense to your suggestion that a town in southern Newfoundland or in Ontario was a bad place to be...I would suggest that if you suggest the idea that you have absolutely no idea what it means to be a Canadian.....
Nanaimo...are you kidding me? I wouldn't mind living there. I'm surprised no cities in NWT' Yukon, Nunavut, or any northern province cities were named instead.
From the description of New Glasgow, I can't help but wonder if Sunnyvale Trailer Park is in the vicinity ;)
The best place to live in Canada is Victoria. Or anywhere on southern Vancouver Island. Mild weather, hardly ever snows, and if it does, it only lasts a day (or less). It does rain a lot☔, but it's always green. 😊🌳🌲🌄
Every time she said "New Found Land" I was like wtf?! As I say it New-fin-land
+Maegan Clemo You are correct. You might have been able to tell by her voice that she is not Canadian.
+Immigroup Inc Yes I know she's not.
+Immigroup Inc yes but she still could have practiced pronouncing it. Just like when she pronounced Mississauga as Mississaugwa, it could have been a mistake she could have easily prevented.
+freeloaner30 I know. But there's nothing that can be done about it now.
I live in Canada and used to live in Newfoundland and I pronounce it as "New Found Land".
Oh I also forgot to mention Nanaimo has a world class Cruise ship terminal capable of docking Cruise ships of any size! YA real isolated!
Naturally the tiny towns in Northern Ontario are the worst? Unbelievable.
Honestly, It seems kind of silly to be comparing cities/towns in a place like Canada when all the top spots for the worst are are taken by small towns or cities. Pretty much every immigrant coming to the country will move to a big city anyways unless they get a job offer somewhere else.
There's no Hamilton? Wow that suprised me a bit
Kelvin Cao yea tells me the list is BS lmao
Sarnia sure changed.. downtown in the mid to late 70's it was a very busy hub
Is Kitchener , Ontario really that bad? I am applying in one of the universities there.
unemployment rate 5.7% And this is a lot?
I come from a small town in northern ontario with a population of 6400. There was nothing wrong with living there..
Winnipeg is the worst place to live in Canada. Come here and you will live in Warsaw ghetto, facing racism, discrimination, poverty, and hunger. There are no opportunities here and there is no support for seniors, families, people with disabilities and business owners. If you live here, if you have any means, get out.
Is saint John, Newfoundland still a bad place to live in? Please help me as I found a University there that is affordable but want to know if it has activities or not! Thank you.
+ItsTheRealDude
There's a lot of oil money there now, far as I know.
It's a beautiful place in summer. But I hear the winters are hard.
+Mark Awad There are very few neighbourhoods in Canada that are bad and St. John is not really one of them. It's a small city (even by Canadian standards) so obviously there isn't much to do there, unemployment is pretty high it rains/snows a lot and it's quite isolated from the rest of Canada but being a small place, the rent is way lower.
Saint John NEW BRUNSWICK
I'm a Canadian naturalized citizen, originally from South America. I find this video quite offensive, obviously done by another immigrant trying to "help" other prospective immigrants. Immigrants come in multiple varieties, ethnicities, personalities, and... souls. This is really unfair to the whole of Canada which I'm truly grateful I've been able to live here and learn from the people who really cared for the country and its people. I hate people who come just for their interest and don't give a hoot about the general Canadian population, don't care about the country which allowed them to stay. Please go somewhere else if you don't care.
This video was written by someone born in Canada, FYI.
Immigroup Inc bullshit
Seriously. From Bay Roberts.
glad you came, come up Northern Ontario for a holiday and well you wont want to go back home!
Immigroup Inc does this individual from Bay Roberts actually consider themselves Canadian? In my experience Newfoundlanders consider themselves Newfoundlanders first and foremost. Many have a middle child mentality when it comes to their place in Canada, claiming that no one cares about Newfoundland and all the federal money goes to Ontario. This list feels like someone who is making judgements based on places they can't even imagine because they have never left the Rock. No, a trip to Florida, New York City, Toronto, or an All Inclusive Resort don't count. Going to the tourist area is not the same as actually seeing the world.
Cape Breton is the most beautiful place i have ever been, only 40 km from beautiful New Glasgow
Blue Sky hii i have applied an offer letter for CBU in aug. Can u tell please about this university and place
Only good for visiting not living ... bad weather , low employement , shortest summers .
Nanimo isolated? It is close to Cambell River. I have been there a couple times, and it is a good place. plus it is on Vancouver Island, a beautiful place.
Campbell River has a population of 35,000. which is much smaller than Nanaimo.
It's isolated compared to other cities of its size. It's 90 minutes from Victoria and a ferry ride from Vancouver. There aren't too many cities of its size in Canada which are a long (and expensive) ferry ride from the nearest large urban area.
i love how more then half of the places in this video are in the east im from Halifax nova Scotia
Nanaimo actually looks like a great place to live.
Kianna Shwaluk I've been there a few times and it's a very nice city :)
I live about an hour and a half away from there. It's stunning.
I love it there
NANAIMO IS AWESOME. GO TO I LOVE VANCOUVER ISLAND.
Maybe it's a great place to visit as a tourist, but not a great place to actually live. New York City is an awesome place to visit but I don't think I'd want to live there.
hah learn how to pronouce Newfoundland
hey stupid, hows the butt, hahahahahaha
HEY, HOW WAS YOUR DAY, LET ME GUESS, 20 BEERS AND A SORE BUTT.
If anything New Glasgow is cheaper to live in than NYC the average house price is around $120 000 hardly anywhere else in the world can say that.
what about sydney nova scotia and winipeg ??
I live in Thunder Bay it has cold weather but when you live in Canada you get use to it the summers are very nice and the people are nice the schools are also very good to and if they come from Iraq,America,China and India the people are not racist only some old people because they think it's okay to do that also there's lots of nationality like Scottish,polish, and a ton more we do have a lot of Finnish people but that's how it is also the camps in Thunder Bay I would say the best camp is northern lights resort or northern lights lake the camps outside of city limits its. 2 hour drive but it's worth it it's better then going to the koa also there's a mother camp when your coming to northern lights resort it's called red pine outfitters the guy that owns it is very nice and is very friendly also the guy at northern lights lake is nice to and friendly both of them are funny but I'm just trying to say Thunder Bay isn't bad and and I'm not trying to be mean but I'm 11 and I think Thunder Bay the best town it's actually very big
Even the considered "worst" cities/places in Canada are much better than any city in Brazil.
Not true Brazil is a beautiful country, I've always wanted to go to rio
Sincerely doubt Iqaluit is better than Sao
Rio is the worst city to live in Brazil, you have no idea the war zone that Rio is!
"Hey folks that have no place in our country, stay away from the shitty areas, leave those for people born here, set yourself up in one of the nice areas most Canadians would love to move to." FFS
Nanaimo is one of the most beautiful cities in the Country! It's harbour is absolutely stunning!
For the record, no one in Thunder Bay calls Lake Superior gitchee goomie. You pulled that straight from a Gordon Lightfoot song and thought it was relevant. Also, Thunder Bay has a very diverse multicultural population and are generally very accepting. If you encounter racism in Thunder Bay it is typically against native aboriginal peoples or lately people of middle-eastern origin. If you are not of these two ethnic groups, you'll likely fit in just fine. The isolation is a big hurdle though and while Thunder Bay is large enough to provide almost any need or desire, after some years you may find yourself feeling stuck.
It's currently closed for the UK, as you know. www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/iec/ Not 100% sure when it will be open. I will ask one of our consultants and get back to you.
+Russell 27 Halifax is a great place. The weather is a little rough for some people, though.
+Immigroup Inc For Saskatoon?
I have never been to Saskatoon myself, sorry to say.
like get a life
For a time Saskatoon was only second to Calgary as far as jobs and economic growth. With the bottom of the energy industry falling out, it has slowed down there considerably just like Calgary. I don't know how much better mining and agriculture is doing. The good side to Saskatoon is that the lakes are only and hour and a half drive from there with only half the tourists that one would find in say Banff or Jasper.
I was surprised that Corner Brook didn't make the list in 2014 as the Western Newfoundland City has endured nearly 1/2 century of population decline, low access to high quality jobs outside government or Corner Brook Pulp and Paper, poor business climate, high unemployment rate, lack of support for non Corner Brooker owned businesses from locals, low access to affordable housing, and high costs of getting an apartment relative to income.
Now that Corner Brook is under a leadership of a progressive Mayor like Jim Parsons, things are looking better for the Western Newfoundland City.
Well, the video made based on a list for 2013...Maybe if we make a new one, it will make it.
There is a funny book out about a guy who moves from Texas to Canada. He has an entertaining adventure, a little romance, and some unique coincidences as he transitions to Canada. Formerly sold under the title "The Crown Prince of Canada" it is currently available as "Crown Prince from Texas".
Lol, Waterloo was literally on the top places in one of your earlier videos.
+Baba Wethu Which one?
+Baba Wethu i live in waterloo now its awesome
+This is Ryder "now"
fuck Waterloo its expensive too
Wouldn't bad weather be all of Canada during 6+ months of winter?
Most of Canada does not get 6 months of winter.
Yes, we DO! Just look at a MAP!!! Even as far South as Toronto, weather is considered to be cold from November to at least April. Perhaps you just meant that the weather in Canada is usually rotten everywhere, but especially so in the places you mentioned?
It is bad - and in many places, it's cold and miserable for more than 6 months.
Maritimes have a special amount of snow. However Ontario and BC get it absolutely cushy
Southern BC is in Canada you know.
I lived in one of those small N W Ontario towns for 3 decades for the opportunity. I needed some sort of worthwhile qualification to get out and live in a decent place. So the first ten years had purpose but the second twenty years was a total waste of my life. I highly regret that. Now I live in Southern Ontario a place where I wasn't born but this area and affordable Southern BC are easily the best parts of Canada and I've been most places. N W Ontario really fits the expression " A nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there".
try living in Sudbury, Ont. we the residents refer to it as a black hole where dreams go to die
I don't agree Canada is always lovely
I love Canada 🇨🇦 and it's nice to live there
no it isn't
Saint John is shit, It's always cold and windy even in the summer 😂😂 also people are moving away from here becoz nobody can get a job
kitchener is a great place. I dont agree with most of the places on the list and very few of the stats are true
Ben Imperatore really?
Went to the University of Waterloo, mainly in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I also know a gentleman who has lived there off and on since the early 1970s, and he has shared some of his experiences with me. By and large, my impression of Kitchener-Waterloo has been fairly good, although it does have its sketchy parts, mainly due to the decline of its former industries. Plus it has Oktoberfest every year! I don't think it deserves to be on this list at all.
I live in KW for ten years and never had any problems at all. It is affordable, has a decent nightlife, tonnes of cultural diversity and great food. This list is f'd.
just gonna forget that thunder bay is a very big shipping city with a lot of industry. not to mention a great university and tina of cultural events in the town. yeah we’re isolated, it’s a big country.
I'm really surprised Kitchener Ontario was mentioned. I use to travel there often to get spare parts for my RC helicopters.
Naturally, small towns in remote areas or on south shores are the worst of the worst.
-Well yeah, I mean obvi........wait, what? What does creepy propaganda/AI voice lady have against remote places and shorelines?
You kidding me? I love Thunder Bay.
@Mustafa Alam it's just people killing people they know and the crime rate is average now
I heard its full of drugs and gangs
I live in Sarnia. The pollution rates have gone way down since the year she mentioned. It is a pretty city with many beautiful parks, beaches and waterways. The downtown area is not dead, and there have been new things opening, as well as some plans in the works for something big at the downtown mall. I moved here in 2011 and I like it. I can find lots to do here. Oh and my dad was from Nova Scotia. It is amazing down home! Anyone who can't handle it not being a city, or having to actually work on things...yeah stay out. People down home are not wussies that need to be catered to. lol
I grew up in Michigan, close to the border crossing into Sarnia. Those chemical and processing plants are on Ontario's side of the river; so don't pin it on "American Heavy Industry". It's not called chemical valley for nothing.
Yeah, that was a mistake on our part. Thanks for pointing it out.
I went to Thunder Bay so many times and I never got robbed..
Shtfup Candian Jack!
The Shadow Gamer lol wut? what would an american be watching this..
i live in thunder bay and it’s awful. shit gets stolen all the time
HULK HOGAN lmao what does that have to do with me
Jenni then move, gtfo. No loss
Lol “cost of living in New Glasgow is high”
Did you visit Windsor Ontario?
What about Morden ? any thoughts ?
I do not like your opinions of these places.
At least it's better than USA crime rate 😑
If you move to a big city yes. If you move to a small town it's often worse
This survey is fair for most part. Much of it confirm to what I sense and have somewhat experience for the past 42yrs.
I live in kitchener its changed alot since 2013....its an amazing city. Very diverse, ive never seen hate crimes
I'm sure it has changed a lot.
As to never seeing hate crimes - I didn't think they happened at all where I live until I was in OAC and my friends were attacked. Had they not been attacked, I would have continued to believe that such things didn't happen where I lived.
this video is a hate crime.
I honestly don't see how Nanaimo makes this list (i haven't been to any other of the cities so i wont comment) seriously i have no clue its actually really nice and its bot really isolated where i live is isolated, definitely not Nanaimo. The person who made this video has obviously not been to Nanaimo
Brennan Sawyer m
Sydney Blinick m?
m!!
Hie, I'm planning to mave to Nanaimo as a student of VIU...Plz suggest....If its a good place to find employment as well....TIA
m
I knew Nova Scotia would have a location listed as #1 in this list.
Yeah same.
Ziggmanster Surely it is our wonderfully thriving economy and high priority in the eyes of the federal government.......right?
+Adam yeahhhh sure.
All of the Atlantic Provinces are Have-nots. No one looking for a working life would want to go there. Bring your money with you when you come.
Ziggmanster i
Well actually New Glasgow has a very well endowed hospital so it isn't quite as bad as depicted in the video. The video even spells out how there has been a long term decline in unemployment. The criticism about climate is fairly bogus too since almost all of Canada is cold and somewhat rainy in the spring & fall.
is Waterloo so bad? I was thinking to go there for my masters
hahaha... No. 2 is true. I am currently living in Kitchener- Waterloo area and this place is DEPRESSING....!!! for an international student.
Move back to india and starve then.
+KDHH69 or Surry BC...
really reinforcing that hate crime statistic, eh?
get back to India for the happening night life and latest dance clubs and clubbing music
From a K-W resident....no one is stopping you from leaving:)
This list should have Toronto.
Toronto should have been the #1 Worst Place to Live in Canada.
I love all the Canadians in the comment section who probably don't travel their own country defending the horrid living conditions in some towns. They think all of Canada has Toronto or Vancouver's standard of living.
I would not want the standards of toronto or Vancouver or any other huge city, I love my small towns and wide open spaces and fesh air clean water. I love green trees and grass farms etc... we do not suffer because we dont have big night life etc, less shit to waste money on
guys.. what do you think about winnipeg? please
I've only been there in the summer, when it's hot. I've heard it can also be buggy. In the winter, it's supposed to be cold. It's quite windy a lot of the time.
bEEN TO THUNDER BAY
I love my dirty city. love from Saint John (not saint johns 🙄)
KiwistyIes I feel ya haha

KiwistyIes same here
I really liked St. John N.B., great people, great food and nice scenery "Hopewell Rocks & Reversing Falls" were nice, hello from Prince Edward Island.
Is Kitchener - Waterloo still that bad in regards to hate crime and its other problems
I'm from Waterloo and I know that our comunity is not about hate at all
Although I have lived in the Greater Toronto Area for almost 40 years, I spent my entire childhood, as well as my early adolescent years in Thunder Bay. I don't remember it being such a bad place to live; it had virtually everything it needed to be considered a viable city.
In terms of isolation, the nearest major Canadian city is the capital of the Province of Manitoba (i.e., Winnipeg), which is approximately 8 hours away by car.
If you prefer the hustle and bustle of a large city, Thunder Bay isn't for you. However, if you prefer a slower, quieter life, with plenty of access to the Great Outdoors, then Thunder Bay is a paradise!
This woman is full of shit. She mentions "(Sarnia's) view of, and proximity to, American heavy industry," while the industry she refers to is all on the Canadian side of the border. It's all petrochemical related, "Chemical Valley". But yes, Sarnia has its share of pollution problems, mostly air related, and if the wind is right, it all goes to Michigan. I'd take everything she says with a large grain of salt.
MrMaenambeach I feel like she thinks Sarnia and Windsor are the same place.
lf you open your lenses in some African countries especially Zimbabwe in particular- these cities you mentioned are havens compared to Zimbabwe.
the paper mill in pictou ns should get some notice we are polluted bad here to
how in the world is Windsor not on here?!
Bunch of B.S
How the f*ck is Windsor Ontario not in this list? Worst sh*thole I've ever lived in. Got out of there quick-fast LOL
Windsor is not bad, you need to spend some time in Sudbury
Because the Maritimes is royally fucked
why
I was born in Winnipeg went to Thunder Bay then to bay Robert
what about winnipeg, MB?
This list was appalling.
I think it's hilarious to title a video WORST PLACES TO MOVE IN CANADA and capture a town in about three sentences, both briefly, and shallowly, with no real reason or substance at all. I also think its hysterical that you would parallel the towns unemployment rate (Bay Roberts, Newfoundland) with all the jobs around as if to say "get off your ass you lazy Newfoundlanders, there's tons of jobs!" This is what gives some sociological studies the stereotype of being both shallow, unsubstantial, and misleading with statistics as the only source of premise for the argument (because we all know that statistics paint a very broad picture and can be interpreted in every which way). PS, fix your sound balancing, its way off.
+OneMansStand 64 Thanks for the feedback.A couple things: this is just a youtube video, it is not a sociological study, nor does it intend to be. And you may (or may not) appreciate that author of the article that this is based on is actually from Bay Roberts, so I don't think this is a case of people beating up on Newfoundlanders.
Thanks for your reply! 1. I didn't say it needed to be a sociological study, however I do express the uselessness of such a video. 2. It portrays his character badly if the person who wrote this not only did no research before tarnishing a towns reputation but also bashed his own town. You may think this isn't a bashing per say, but to say why you should absolutely not live somewhere most would consider is a "negative" comment.
You can make a video and claim it has no need for validity all you want, but the viewers also get to say how useless, incorrect, and harmful such videos are
+OneMansStand 64 Fair enough
+OneMansStand 64
And, that may be one of the reasons the tarsands is populated with Newfies.
I would really like to know where you people get your info from?
StatsCan and Numbeo and Wikipedia. But the ranking is entirely arbitrary, as you might imagine. The article the video is based on is 5 years old.
I live in Saint John, N.B., and lemme tell you, the only real bad place to live here is the far north and south ends. Also the lower west (Those are the more poor areas). Other than that, it's a fine place to live. I was born here, so, I don't notice the smell, but it can't be that hard to get used to, right?
I live north.... RIP
North Saint john?
+Zee Utuber tep
I'm from Moncton and when I go to Saint John I don't realize the smell
HAHA. Stopped watching when you named my city. One of THE BEST places I've ever lived. Don't exactly trust the list after that.
Which one was that ?
