Since most people don't exactly love cold winter weather, I suppose most mild places in Canada are quite popular and thus expensive. BC as a whole seems to be overpriced just like the entire West Coast of the US.

I am thinking of moving to Canada as well. If I do, I will move to Fredericton, seems a nice compromise in terms of size and climate.
Nova Scotia is rather mild, the Annapolis valley in particular, they are growing lots of fruit there, even wine

Here is a hardiness zone map of Canada, gives you an idea where it is mild:

I like that plant hardiness map. I've seen a few before, but that one seems a lot more detailed and shows small pockets of warmer areas nestled between some cooler areas.

Nova Scotia is also on my radar. I've heard some good things about Cape Breton too, and rural acreage is quite reasonably priced. At this point, Vancouver Island (and even the lower mainland of BC) seems to be winning out on most points for a Canadian city or area with a warm, but not too warm or too cold climate, and with minimal snow. Where it loses out is on price - the most expensive place in Canada.

Good luck. As someone else said, you're in the wrong country.

It seems the only place in Canada for you would be the West Coast, or follow your own suggestion of a cheap bit of real estate somewhere and follow the sun south. It's a good idea to have something to come back to once you discover that there's more to life than weather, as I did after 9 years in Africa and Mexico.

It does exist. A small town or village in Southwestern BC. If you get rid of the "cheap" part then the Vancouver area or Victoria.

It depends on what kind of weather you like.

Spent two weeks on site #21 with our 40 fit fiver and toter with Harley at this place while attending a Navy reunion. I thought then that spending a few months would not be a bad thing with the little water taxis making egress to the city downtown a ten minute commute.

You're better off to ask this question in a new topic of your own instead of reviving somebody else's old topic that is a couple of years out of date.

In your own new topic you need to provide information about yourself, such as where you're from, what kinds of skills and education you have relevant to the kinds of work you're looking for, and what kind of weather conditions you are able to tolerate.

To the best of my understanding, hai is not a recognizable English word, so I don't know what you mean by it.

Victoria and Nanaimo are a bit pricey, but if you just want to explore the area you need not buy near them. You could get a place in a more economically depressed part of the Island like Port Alberni for much less money. It'd make a good base to explore the superlative scenery of the area, like nearby Tofino and the Gulf Islands.

There are lots of cheap places in BC with nice weather. Port Alberni, Lillooet, Bella Coola, Spences Bridge (the place with the hottest summers in Canada), etc.
