Well, Both Vancouver and Toronto are the major cities in Canada so cost of living would be expensive in both cities. Vancouver will be more expensive compared to Toronto because Vancouver is considered as one of the most visited city in the world, making it a tourist destination thus results in a high cost of living.
When it comes to Toronto, living around downtown will be the most expensive. You can choose to live in GTA or areas like Scarborough, Mississauga and Brampton which will be a little affordable compared to downtown. However, living in these areas might increase your travel time so keep that in mind as well. Hope it helps!

Thanks for useful info Rahul..but I heard there are long delays in getting PR from Ontario bcoz of many people applying from here.
Moreover, I will be moving with my spouse( student ) on spouse visa.So will I be able to get a health insurance same as her.

Any idea of spouse visa success rate from India.As I talked with some agents & they advised me to apply 1months after she gets study visa .

I think PR is a long way to go right now... Usually people move to provinces woth lesser population to be eligible for a PR easily and as far as Spousal Visa is concered, Agents are probably right about applying visa after month of study visa.
