USA or Canada? (crime, middle schools, taxes)

[Miranda Roldan]

Hi,

I would like to know some opinions about which country is beter for living, Im really confused because I love Canada, I have been there some times and I asked for the permanent residence one year and a half ago, and at the same time I am living in the United States 8 months ago and I met a very nice person who ask me to get married... and I dont know if this country is that nice as Canada, talking about the people and the oportunities to get a good job.

At least both of them are nice and clean... big and rich

Canada. Education much better and safer. Think children.

There is no comparison; the sense of either the Anglo or the Franco is too pronounced in eastern Canadian cities and Vancouver/Victoria to compare with let's say Philadelphia or Sandusky. St. Johns, Nwfld. is great - Quebec City is like a small 17th cent. French town that was set up in North America.. Toronto has a great feel of Asian meets Anglo meets snow, with a lot of sliver, gold, glass and great lighting. D.C. is probably the most beautiful US city, followed by NYC, and then all the rest far below.

Go to Canada, beome a citizen and then you'll have Commonwealth status and access. In the US, you have the world's most powerful nuclear arsenal with most citizens reading on the 6th grade level.

Well, Education is not bad at all in private school, but I went to public middle schools growning up and i became a succesful architect, children are fine here. Also, America gets a horrible rep for crime, war etc, when a lot is exadurated, I've never had a crime incident, even in some of the worst for crime american cities (New Orleans, Detroit, etc). The countires both have Amazing cities - imo, the most beautiful are Boston, DC, san Francisco, New York, Philly, Charleston, Baltimore, etc. And please don't beleive the steriotype that says americans are all dumb because they aren't all dumb at all and most have about a 6th grade reading level, I think that was just a comment from some one who doesn't exactly like America (like the rest of world), Both countries are excellent choices, do whatever makes you happy

Well, take it as you will, but, while American immigration to Canada has been on the rise the past couple of years, and Canadian immigration to the United States has been declining (most likely reflecting Bush dissatisfaction on both ends)... there are STILL over 23,000 Canadians that moved South to America last year and 11000 Americans that moved north to Canada.

America has 10X the population of Canada, so that's a significant difference per capita!



Find your own paradise. The United States is so much "larger" than Canada in every way except landmass. You really can't compare the two fairly anymore than it's fair to compare California to New Hampshire, or big city living to the suburbs. I prefer Canadian politics for the most part, but there's something really special and kinda interesting about living in the tumultuous, raucous, conflicted center of the Empire.

Both countries have good areas and bad. The United States has every geographical and climatic option to choose from. You'd be wise to research the various and distinct areas of the United States, as there's 1000 different ways to get a typical "American" life!

ahh Canada is very similar to the US, you would be happy in either one. the US is probably just as nice, but our Humongous cities(NY, LA, Chicago, Houston, SD, Dallas Miami, and SF) are very fast paced and people stop to care about each other in the mess. I think either one will suit you fine though.
Where did you move from? China? Mexico? Philippines? India? Pakistan? this will also play a role in which country is better for you.

If you can handle the weather, I say Canada.

If you like high taxes and living off the gov't, go to Canada, If you want to make your own way in the world and keep more of your own money, go to the US. If you come from Europe, or probably anywhere else in the world, Canada's social system will be more familiar.

Wondering where your information regarding most Americans have a 6th grade level of education comes from do you have anything to back that statement or is it just your opinion?
