Hi Patti! Welcome to Prince George! Did you make your trip successfully this past March? :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge hi! I did indeed and am in love with PG!
Thank you for your videos! We have been thinking of visiting PG and your videos helps a lot!
Well obviously I think you should absolutely visit here 😁
We plan to come. Sent you dm and emai. :)
Great video !!!!
Wow great! Good to watch this video!
Thanks Imam! And I appreciate the private message with another great video topic from you!
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge my pleasure, waiting to watch your next video. Keep it up, your video is so informative. 😊✌
Great video! Very informative :)
Thank you Pamela! It was fun creating it :D
great content :)
tnx for ur good information
You're welcome !
2020 and still going strong 💪🏼
Thank you very much for your comments i' about to go to do my study in PRINCE GEORGE, hopefully it will be the best city i have chosen
Thank you Marc, it is difficult to decide I have applied to different colleges as Intl student, now I am torn between Barrie, Ontario and Prince George :( can you give advise pls? thanks in advance!
If you feel that the quality of the education is the same at all 3, then you will have to decide which of the 3 places entices you the most for what the surrounding areas offer, and also cost of living of course. :)
You mention moving cross country from Ottawa to Prince George, can you make a video about rhat? Ie: how you did it, where you stayed before you bought a house in BC etc. My wife and I are highly considering relocating from Southern Ontario (London) to Prince George area. Any insight would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Hi Rob! That's a great Video idea. I can definitely create one about that. I kind of cheated as so grew up here, so we stayed with family for a few days until our house that we bought was ready to move into and then we were all set.
Obviously there are a few more steps, but I'll cover those in the video. :)
Feel free to shoot me a text or a call if you have any questions about the process :) 250-251-5800
I really like your videos and I am from Sri lanka planing to study in UNBC, so may I know how is the part time job opportunities in Prince George twon city
Thank you for the kind words!
There is no shortage of work here for those with some drive and initiative :D. If you are coming across the world to study I would think you have all of the necessary skills and character attributes to find good employment while you arrive 😁
Thank you, Mac. Is Project Management in demand in PG?
If I look around at areas like Boundry Road (east of the city) and all of the other developments happening right now, I would be shocked if more quality project management personal weren't needed.
Are you thinking about planning a move here? :)
Hi I really like your videos. I sent you a message at Facebook. I am currently the Philippine Recruitment Manager for CNC and am leveraging PG as the best destination for study and living.
Hello,love your videos..
please i will be moving to PG this August, as an international student of CNC...please what good neighbourhood can one stay,that's free of crimes and other's..because have heard lot's of negative things about PG...
And what do you say about a student coming in with few months pregnant, with the intention of birthing there....
Hi Marc, i am connecting with you after a year. I am finally coming to PG this sept as a student. How is it during the covid era? how is the job market?
Prince George is booming. There are hotels, and Condos and housing of various types being built on all available lots. Our economy has remained very strong and is continuing to grow, so I'd say the job market will remain strong alongside that :D
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge oh great to know, i will be pursuing a hotel degree from CNC hopefully should have a bright future ahead. Thanks for replying sir. Will be glad to meet you.
@@chetanupmanyu7230 I'm looking forward to it! And a hotel degree is perfect in a place with a boatload of new hotels (7 got built last year! More to come!)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge This is super amazing. Kudos to you for such content and info.
I lived in Prince George for 22 years and feel quite blessed to finally be able to leave...i left a few years ago . I raised my daughter there and when she entered high school the peer pressure of drugs and alcohol are immense...she said basically "all" the kids were mingling with it and with fentanyl mixed in drugs now adays that is a very concerning matter ...she said that most of her freinds parents did some type of drug or alcohol as well. I was also in a good neighborhood and had theft in my yard...and the stories through the years shhesh . As the years went by it progressively declined....i left a few years ago and freinds have told me it is much much worse now...i was told of a few fatal overdoses that have occured in the young since i left...i am now in Edmonton best decision ever and loving it...great hospitals, schools, nice wooded walking trails all through the city and some nice ravines and river through it...cheap cheap housing and less tax and major airport ...ok fantastic shopping too and my amazon deliveries are at my door in a couple days 😁....i also found people much freindlier...i wish i would have come years ago
Yeah, as if Edmonton isn't full of druggies, worse winters, fewer city services unless paying for more and geography that is nothing compared to our incredible .ountains, lakes, hills and valleys.
The reality is that all places don't work for all people. It sounds like you made a great move for yourself and your family, and for that I am happy for you! 😁
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge All it comes down to for her is cheaper housing (compared to what?) and lower taxes. Of course. When you have to pay for extra services, so lower municipal and provincial taxes are a mirage.
Prince George is a great city! AND many wonderful people too. Go for a visit. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
I completely agree, Norman! 🤘🏻
I lived in PG for 3 years. There are some nice people there but I would never go back there with my family, the drug and gun crime is on another level! It also felt very isolated to me. To get to another city of any size is a day long drive or you have to fly. The other problem was, all the friends we got to know when there, moved away. It's quite a transient place.
Where are you living currently I'd you don't mind me asking?
I've actually had the opposite experience. I've lived here a total of 6 years now, and I love it. Many of my friends from my hometown ended up here, and I've made many more that are new comers to the city that have settled here for good.
After living in Ottawa (1 million people) I'd say the instances or fun violence and drugs are much less here, especially if you just stay out of the VLA, which is only a small section of the city.
I won't argue that it's a bit isolated for sure though, haha
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge I now live on Vancouver island but we have property in NB so will be selling up and moving out of BC altogether.. MY wifes family moved to PG in the 50's from the UK and Germany so they have seen and watched PG grow and to be honest they will be selling up and also leaving,,
I lost track of the times on the drive in to work I drove passed a shooting at a house and the Police had it all tapped off..
I grow up just outside London Uk and I was shocked at the crime in PG, yes its mostly in the VLA but it does spread out, friends of mine had bullets fly through there house by somone doing a drive by shotting on one of their neighbours..
For the size of PG it should not have the crime that it does
@@adrianharrison5208 Yikes, I'm sorry to hear that you and your family have witnessed so much violence and crime here. I grew up in neaby Burns Lake and have been coming to PG my entire life, and have now lived here a total of 6 years myself (2 of those were in 2003/4 right on Strathcona in the VLA) and have been fortunate enough to not have any incidents or close calls myself.
I am certainly not disagreeing with the reputation that PG has earned in the past, but am merely speaking of my own experiences, and the general improvements I've witnessed that are ongoing.
As a side note, I'd love to help your parents out when/if the time comes for them to leave, if they do not already have someone they are working with! I wish all of you safe travels in your transition out of BC!
hi, how about the nursery school/pre school there?
There are lots of great spaces for nursery schools and pre schools here in the city. Plus over 160 new daycare type places are opening up this year or already have in many cases.
What are the 5 best areas of the city to live for someone coming out of province?
This is a video I'm shooting soon! Feel free to shoot me a text and we can set up a quick zoom call, and I can share my screen and give you a virtual tour of my favorite neighborhoods :) 250-251-5800
Do you know where i can rent a room long term in PG?
Check with PACE Realty or NEST Realty, (you can google them) as they are the prominent property managers in the city
Are there Supply Chain jobs available in PG? I'm a prospective International Student of Supply Chain in BC.
Costco٫superstore٫save on٫ Timmie's etc.
The CNC school no need IELTS? For international student?
Hello Gutierrez Family! To find the answer to that question, your best bet would be to visit cnc.bc.ca/
@@viviancordoves4220 Thank you for sharing that Vivian!
Hi you may contact MC De Guzman of SLE she is great in assisting International Students interested in CNC like me. ILETS requirement depend on the school but she can help and you can watch her videos SLE.
Is this area considered as a regional area of BC?
I'm not sure I fully understand your question. But Prince George is in the central interior of BC :)
How's the crime? Prince George consistently rates in the top 20 on Maclean's top 100 cities with highest crime index. Also, some people say there's pulp mill smells sometimes. Does that depend on location in the city?
Prince George does have crime, which keeps it on that list but there are many things being done currently in the city, that is bringing more and more upstanding citizens to the downtown areas, and over the coming years it's going to naturally push out a lot of the remaining crime.
I lived in the so called "worst" part of the city for 2 years during college, back in 2004-6 when things were even tougher than now, and I never had a single issue or scary moment.
So with a bit of common sense , others should also not have any issues.
There is no denying the smell of the pulp mills. Yes some areas of the city are better than others, but just count on smelling it from time to time when you live here. 🙂
Hope that helps, Michael!
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge Thanks for your reply.
We had friends who lived in the 'worst' area and they have a few stray bullets from a drive by shooting go through their living room in the middle of the night...there is definitely crime and particularly in the downtown area.
@Living in Prince George yes there is crime and the pulp smell is real.
Pulp smell used to be more often. The frequency has been greatly REDUCED over the last 10 years. Crime. Stay out of the VLA area and you will be fine.
I am planning to move to prince George to study msc. in business administration in UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA.
How is the job market there?
Can I be Able to sustain my life?
Absolutely! The job market is very strong If you're not afraid to work hard :)
Guess I am going to have to book a flight to BC
Definitely book a flight here hombre! We dont have ocean surfing in my neck of the woods, but we do have wake surfing! haha.
can you tell me the best places to live there?, easy public transportation, quality of living? I will go to CNC. Thanks
There are many great places to live. It depends on what you want to have around you. :)
And public transit is also pretty easy to get to from mostly anywhere in the city.
I think Prince George is the hidden gem of the North, and I find my quality of life here is excellent with so many amenities nearby and yet no traffic ! 😁
I am also looking forward to go in CNC. Jan intake 2021. That's why I found this video.
@@virsoni7756 That's Awesome! I'm glad it's finding the right people :D
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge yes sir. I am going to watch your other videos as well. 🙂
@@virsoni7756 I hope those are useful to you as well!

Is there a list of companies willing to hire new immigrants in PG ?
Thats a great question. I don't currently have that list in front of me, as I have never looked into it, but with some digging im sure something like that exists. You can try indeed.com or kijiji.ca or even facebook to see if there are local companies hiring :)
300 days a year off sun that’s bull crap I lived in pg 70% rain 🌧 in summer and winter 80% cloudy ⛅️ ❄️. Most criminal place I lived in.
Thanks for your input Arthur! I'm sure you were just using those numbers to drive home a point, but a quick google search will confirm that Prince George gets an average of 299 days of sunshine a year.
So I guess you are right, 300 days was "bullcrap", as i rounded up to 300 for simplicity sake, 😂.
To your next point, a person's interaction with the criminal elements of a city can be as much or as little as you make of them. I've lived here for a total of 6 years, and have literally never had a single issue. I even lived down in the VLA for 2 of those years back in 2004-6, in the Strathcona Townhouses, and had no issues.
I'm sorry that it sounds like your experience with PG wasn't a favorable one, but I happen to find it a fantastic place to live 😀
Wishing you the best of experiences with wherever you are living now :)
Cheers!
Enjoy Hixon then!I 🤣🤣🤣
how much did the city pay you for the video?
If you know who to talk to at the city to get paid for a video like this, let me know! Haha. The city has no idea this video exists, and non of my videos are monetized in any way. I hope that answers your question! 🙂 Thanks for watching! 🤟🏼

I love a good discussion, Joey :) Obviously everyone has their own viewpoints, but if you'd care to elaborate on your comment, I'd be happy to discuss :D Either way, thanks for watching and interacting! Have a great day!

Who is yours?
Is it true, it's dangerous to libe 8n pg?
No more dangerous than any other city I've lived in if I'm being honest!
*manufacturing 😋
Haha! Nice catch 😉
i am from Pakistan and now i want to come in Canada kindly guide me sincerely that can i get part time job easily in prince George?
Thanks for watching Dua! Unfortunately I can't guarantee you part time work, but there are no shortage of jobs here if you do a bit of research into what kind of work you want too do :)
Don't go! Prince George is the most dangerous city in BC, a lot of racism. I lived there, it was the most terrible time in my life. this is the truth. do some real research. there is a lot of homes that wont sell. they are looking for buyers
yes very easy, as an immigrant you'll be taken advantage like they didi with me, ths is the truth
@@greattubing2880 Thanks... for this vital information. I am presently in SK and I have been planning relocating to P G. But the low cost of living kept me very skeptical..
0:53 What's wrong with it?
I'm not sure what your asking? At 0:53 on the video I mention that the cost of living is low here, which is a good reason to move.
Would you care to elaborate on your question, so I can answer it correctly?
Thanks!
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge not true, the cost of living in in PG is very high. PleaseTell the truth
@@greattubing2880 In comparison to where, exactly? I lived in Ottawa for 8 years, and when compared to somewhere like that or Vancouver, Prince George is very affordable. That was a large part of the reason we moved back here :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge you are being paid to tell all that's not true
remember, if you want to move to prince george, as a labourer, make sure you have a job before moving (or stay with friends while the family is still back where ever), other wise, make sure you have the right training and right schooling. its not as simple and as easy pleasy as this guy makes it. once you have a job in prince george and it pays good, do not be a big city person and quit. good jobs in prince geroge do not come around to often. even low paying jobs. even low paying jobs in prince george do not come around to often and when it dose, work your butt off to show that you are valuable to the company. low paying jobs lead to much better jobs to so take what you can get unless you are already trained.
Hi Joey, you are correct. It helps to have a job lined up , but that's true of anywhere you move.
The same is true for having a skillset or past experience to make yourself more "hireable".
But there are plenty of jobs out there for anyone who isn't adverse to hard work.
Best of luck to anyone moving here! :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge The people who see your videos should realise its not all roses and Champaign like you make it out to be in Prince George. There is a reason why Prince George stagnates and dose not grow quickly like other places in BC and Alberta.. People like you just go out and paint everything so rosy and its not. Its a great place but it has not been so ROSEY like you put it since the 1950s and even some what in the 1960s. the time period where you could have just showed your face to a company and have a job with in a week if not that day. people need to know unless they have some sort of degree or several years of experience, there could be a good chance they well either whined up on welfare or living in one of the old tramp holes by the river across from the cut banks. and allot of the time it is not what you know but whom you know. Yes Prince George is a great place to move to but stop watching these "F"n videos because you will be disappointed. from someone who has been a PGer since the 1960s, these newbis have totally white washed Prince George's history, has kissed e-so many asses, they have no since of what Prince George was and is, natives are supper pissed of everyone thinking with this first nations appreciation crap to the point they have forgotten the real native history of the region. also NEVER listen to these johnny come latelys when it comes to sight seeing PG. go there visit the info center, go to the libraries and read the history and REMEMBER ITS A PULP AND PAPER TOWN! remember that before you go out dinning. i can go on but i am no tour guide
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge do you even know where the town of fort george is? what about the actual fort george and where it was? do you know where the native burial ground is in prince george? do you know where the German p.o.w. camp was? how do you go golfing in winter? how do you go sking in summer? do you know anything of prince george? i would not even ask you about the history of the military in pg or the history of the natives (when everyone has white washed it away)
oh do you know anything of the war of fort george and prince george?
@@joeydepalmer4457 Would you be willing to shoot a video together where you share all of that information? It could give context :)
Crime Rates is so high in P.G.!
?? That's a vague statement. Can you point towards any specific statistics that have you thinking this?
Prince George crime rate has gone down SIGNIFICANTLY in the last 15+ years, which is why we are not anywhere near as high on the list as we once were.
This guy is a real estate agent and he wants to sell you a house. So take his "advice" with a grain (or two or three) of salt.
Thanks for watching Herman! Prince George continues to be a fantastic place to call home, and this last year has only highlighted that fact even more, as people and businesses move here for the lower cost of living than many larger centres, as well as the easy access to so many diverse activities. 🚣🏊⛷️🚵🧗
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge I have nothing against PG. I used to live there and I am considering a move back from Vancouver. If someones likes a quiet lifestyle it is okay there.
@@althunder4269 What is having you want to leave Vancouver, if you don't mind me asking? :)
@@LivinginPrinceGeorge can you make a video on things to do and see in PG? TIA

You also have a serial killer in the area
Hi I lived in PG for a few years as my wife is from there but we left because of the crime, what is this about a serial killer?
What bigger area doesn't have its fair share of psycho's? The key is to not be Serial, and you wont get killed! 😝🤣
