Toronto is the only place I've been to in the world (with London a distant second) where one meets people of all sorts of cultural background, shade of color, religious affiliation and it genuinely seems to not matter in the least to anyone. Of course there will be the odd outlier, but in Toronto that seems to be so rare as to be statically insignificant.
You need to add New York and Los Angeles area to the list.
Its a rather time consuming process with no guarantee of success but if you qualify you could be a permanent Canadian resident in less than 2 years . At least get the ball rolling.
Start here.Or if you have a Canadian consulate/embassy nearby pay em a visit. Home - Citizenship and Immigration Canada - Canada
Can you apply for jobs once you get Canada resident card? Because I don't have any jobs there or don't know anybody that lives there.
I'm glad you love Toronto. If you choose to live here, you really need to become more tolerant and respectful of Muslims and other cultures that may be different from yours.
Yeah even if they are not tolerant and respectful of you. Everything is allowed in Canada except critisicing Muslims. Its perfectly fine to bash Jews and Christians but Muslims are off limits.

and in the US it is the opposite (OK to criticize Muslims but not Jews).
I noticed that Muslims in Canada, especially the men wear typical Islamic clothes, grows facial hair, etc. lol... More religious. I saw that huge mosque off the Queen highway in Toronto GTA on the way back to the US. Never seen that in my travel throughout America.

When have you ever had a Canadian Muslim be disrespectful towards you personally? I certainly haven't, and I taught ESL for years, with many Muslim students. In fact, all the Muslims I've ever met loved Canada and were proud citizens. I think you may be thinking that a few radicals represent the vast majority of Muslims in Canada, who are good, hardworking people.
Also, there is tons of Muslim-bashing in this country. I hear it constantly when no one thinks others are listening (or they don't think any Muslims are listening), I read subtle attacks on Muslims on Canadian news sies, and not-so-subtle ones on Canadian message boards like this one. So easy there, stallion. There's plenty of Muslim-bashing in this country and it can get pretty ugly.

Well you better keep your eyes open then because they are literally EVERYWHERE and far, far larger in both architecture and membership. :
USA has 0.6-0.8% Muslims vs. 1.9% in Canada.
I saw way more Muslims on the streets in Toronto than in NYC, LA, Miami, DC and Philly area.
