Both SW BC and SW Ontario have large flucuations in their local climates. BC, rainfall and temp are influence greatly by proximity and situation of the mountains and in Ontario it's location relative to the Great Lakes. It is true that London Airport gets twice the snowfall of Windsor but St.Thomas which borders London in the south gets 70cm less snowfall every year than the north of the city. It's because North London is effected by the Huron "lake effect" snow while Southern London isn't.
I live in White Rock just 20km south of downtown Vancouver but it gets only 30" of rain per year compared to downtown's 60" and North Vancouver's 90". I believe the actual warmest city in Ontario and the one that has the least snow is Chatham.
^ I think that may be correct - there's an area along the north shore of Lake Erie from Chatham to almost St. Thomas that has lower annual snowfall rates (some slightly below 100cm). Toronto averages 115cm annually, Windsor 129cm, and London 202cm.
Osoyoos is a special case... It is what they call a "pocket desert" and is known for its hot summers. Osoyoos in fact is right at the upper limit of the Sonoran Desert.
I am mistaken then, Osoyoos, Windsor/Essex County, Lower Mainland and South Vancouver Island are Canada's "tropical spots."
You are also mistaken about Osoyoos being part of the Sonoran Desert. The Sonoran Desert doesn't even come north of Arizona. Osoyoos is not even close to being classified as a desert. Desert does exist in Canada though.

I would think that Vancouver has a better job market than Windsor but it's also way more expensive here if you do get a job so you will probably suffer here more financially than you would in Windsor.
About the weather, it's very wet and humid in winter here with a long growing season which isn't great for people with breathing problems or allergies. I personally know people who moved from here to the Okanagan to take advantage of the dry air which is much better for breathing problems. Have you considered it? It would be considerably cheaper than Vancouver too.

The air quality isn't very good in the Okanagan during high pressure events. Victoria is quite dry and has better air quality.

But it's still quite damp in the winter months and it is still moderately wet. Somewhere like Spences Bridge which technically not in the Okanagan would be better for less humidity wouldn't it?

For sure. Or Merritt, or Lytton, or Lillooet. All of which are much sunnier than the Okanagan, especially during the winter months. The Okanagan has the the cloudiest December-January in Canada.
