To help you start making the big decision, we’ve gathered some information and resources to help you understand what each region offers.
Canada is made up of 10 provinces and three territories, spread over six time zones. You could further divide the regions by geography, from the Rockies and the west coast, to the prairies in the centre of the country, and the “Canadian Shield” marked with plateaus across most of central Canada, and finally the rolling Appalachian mountains that roll towards the Atlantic Ocean. To the North, you’ll find Arctic tundra and a lifestyle unlike that of most of the world. Before choosing a province or territory to move to and call home, it’s important to look at all your options.
Be sure to click on the links we’ve provided as resources which will help you understand how each province or territory approaches key aspects of living in that particular place.
With that picture in mind, here is a broad overview of each Canadian province and territory.
