So I love snow and I wanna move somewhere where there's lots of it. I considered living in the woods, but that would be hard because of the animals and insects and all the things you'd have to just carry around and I couldn't use my computer...
So what is the cheapest rent anywhere in Canada within 20min drive to a store (could be 1min walk either)? Looking for something where I wouldn't hear my neighbors and wouldn't see cracked walls, no matter the size.
If not, you need to do some research about how to qualify as a Immigrant .
The way that you worded your post gives me the impression that you don't live in Canada ?
More details , please .

I am not a citizen and do not live there. But last time I read it, it seems you can move and live in Canada for a few years to become a citizen. Or even not becoming a citizen, you can just live there. Am I wrong here?
I'm sure with a bit of Google searching you could probably find some shack in the northern woods for a very low rent
Or if you are feeling particularly ambitious =

Well I'm asking because someone may already know... Although googling for Canada is easier than for Norway because everything is in English. Cheapest I can find is around 600 a month, so I asked because I'd like something bit cheaper than that, that is bit too much for what I'd like (so... it's a 'worst case scenario if nothing else comes up' kinda thing). Oh and northern woods would be awesome, I love the north, the woods, all that. Just would have to get a bike or something for transportation a couple times a week to use my laptop for online stuff, doubt even data would work well there. Besides, bigger downloads and lots of surfing would definitely need wifi, so at least once a week if data works.
Anyway, 600 is what I found for cheapest, anything cheaper that I was unable to find so far?
Oh I would love that! Isn't that illegal, cutting trees and building a house on public land and all that stuff? I know it's illegal in Norway at least. If you were joking, I took it most seriously because I actually thought about that.
What do you mean by just getting a bike and riding it in to town whenever you need the internet? Depending on where you are, that can be completely impossible in the winter.
For example, I don't even live in the true North, but a medium-sized city in central Ontario that is probably colder than where by far most users on this forum live, and I can't cycle between January and March. It's too cold and there's too much snow (and snowstorms).
Please tell us where you're living right now, and where you have lived previously if that applies. I kind of get the idea that you don't fully understand the logistics and problems of living semi-isolated in a very cold environment.

Very wrong, moving to and staying in another country requires some form of immigration procedure.
O.P., you like cold and snow? Move to Keweenaw County in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Oh, boy, will you get your fill. And no immigration required.
OP, I read your other posts on the board where you posted the same thing about Norway, and the other topic where you said you wanted to be a homeless drifter living in the woods.
I think you should wait a few more years until you've finished school and then consider what you want to do as an adult. Then ask practical questions online, because right now your questions are just a waste of time for the sake of entertainment. Do lots of research and educate yourself about the immigration regulations and climates of other countries.
It's okay to entertain your kind of fantasies for the fun of it while you're a kid as long as you understand that your fantasy isn't realisitic, it's not survivable. Canada in the winter is a deadly place and the woods in Norway in winter is probably just as deadly. If you attempted to do what you're thinking about you would just die.

In another post elsewhere the OP says he lives somewhere in Europe so immigration procedures would be required if he came to anywhere in North America.
Unless you have a superior education, such as a 4 year University degree, AND at least 3 years of directly related work experience, OR you are a certified skilled trades worker...............
YOU won't get a visa to work in Canada. No visa, equals no work in Canada, and no way are we as a country, going to let unskilled youth come here to "live in the woods ". Canada wants productive people, not vagabonds .
Canada wants educated and skilled Immigrants. You don't appear to meet that criteria.
