More Ontarians are moving to Alberta for its affordability, job opportunities, and natural beauty. Karen MacPherson, a Realtor and relocation consultant, initially moved reluctantly but grew to love Calgary’s lifestyle and diversity. Experts recommend thorough research on cities, job prospects, and housing before relocating. Securing employment beforehand is crucial due to rising competition and costs. Moving expenses can be high, so budgeting for six months of living expenses is advised. Alberta offers an active outdoor lifestyle with proximity to the Rockies, though it is car-dependent with higher insurance rates. The weather is sunnier but colder compared to Ontario, with chinook winds offering occasional relief. With rising property prices, experts suggest making the move sooner for better housing opportunities.
