Each situation is different, so most definitely you should decide whats best for you. I have never lived in Canada, but have visited it a couple of times and many of my friends live there. I am sure Canada has a lot to offer its residents and is a wonderful country.
However, on almost all levels of things that are important to me, personally, (and everyone has different things that are important to them) US is a far better place to live compared to Canada, except one. The only thing that I believe is better in Canada is their health care plan. This is not an issue in the US if you are a well-employed professional, however this is an issue if you want your parents to live with you. In US, insurance premiums for aged parents are prohibitively expensive, while in Canada, if you get them immigration, costs will be much less, I presume. Other than that, no contest. Simple!
My parents arent planning on moving with me. It would be a solo mission. Is it easy for a guy with a UK MA (I start in 10 hours!) to get a job in the US?
Kool,
Interesting stats. Canada’s great appeal is its safety record.
