I won’t ever have a 5 day commute. I can go into the office whenever I feel like it or not at all so no worries there. I wanted to live within GO rail access for taking the kids to the zoo or stuff like a baseball game in town etc. or when family visits so they won’t have to necessarily rent a car. Would like a 2 or 3 bedroom in a not terrible area. Cheap as possible until it’s time to buy. If I can get citizenship within 3 years I can avoid that 15% right? Because my USD paycheck basically saves me 20% on anything I spend there but that shyt would get eaten up quick by a 15% taxRent is high but depending what you need condo? house?
Permanent residents can buy no issue, even at this time foreigners can buy but just have a 15percent tax levied on them.
GO sucks you'll get frustrated doing it 5 days a week.
Car insurance is also expensive im talking on average like 250 - 300 a month
You can live in areas like missisauga, oakville, scarborough, pickering, markham, vaughan which are just a little outside of toronto like half hour and pay less for housing.

I wonder if American insurance companies will cover a car if I’m “visiting Canada” since it’s only about $100 for full coverage on 2 cars here in Texas
I’m voting liberal mainly because I don’t think NDP has a chance at winning and Erin O’Toole is clearly just doing whatever it takes to win (which you can argue the Liberals are doing but at least I know they ain’t gonna erase the social support systems that kept me from being homeless or needing to do more than the little street shyt that I did do growing up).
That’s just toronto now. Only gonna get worse.

Was at Vaughn Mills the other day to grab a gift. Went to 1 store. That fukking place was packed! I don't know how folk can make a whole day out of shopping there with the whole family during a pandemic. Also saw more than enough people without masks.
Ah gotcha, then you can look in areas like hamilton, barrie, st. catharines, niagara falls, kitchener/waterloo, guelph even maybe london ontario all those areas are like under 2.5 hrs from toronto, go accessible and much cheaper for a house since you mentioned kids.
As long as you are a permanent resident or citizen you don't have to pay that 15%. If you're not a pr might a swell try for express entry easy and fast
renting a house in toronto you're looking at like 3k and upwards a month, 2bdrm condo like 2000 plus utilities
move to areas like Caledon, Halton Hills, West Brampton, Mississauga West to be away from the goofy shyt that goes on here and there. also if you wanna see lamborghinis and bentley in the summer from your neighbours.
Ok I thought you were a single cat. In that case hit up the burbs. I would say go to the areas people are mentioning and hang there for a bit and see if you like the vibe. The different suburbs here are very different from each other from look, feel, demographics, etc. Oakville is expensive and white. Brampton is black and Indian, more affordable. Mississauga is kinda everything but pricier. Richmond hill Jews, Italians Chinese, some whites. Exoensive. Good schools. Markham similar to RH mostly Chinese. Then there’s Scarborough, North york, Etobicoke. All very different. Can find something affordable in Etobicoke and Scarborough. visit these areas first though if you can.
You're gonna hate it here.
