Dear all,

A question like all others, which one is better to stay, live and work in UK or Canada? And if there is any other domain one is better than the other in just thankfully list it.

Thanx

FWIW many items depend on exactly where you are in either country.

Quality of life = Canada
Housing = Canada
Warmer weather = UK
More space to live = Canada
Mobile telephone rates = UK
Internet prices = UK
Electricity and energy costs = Canada
Availability of beaver tails = Canada
Less unemployment = Canada
Best chocolate = UK
Least regulations about alcohol = UK
ETC
ETC

Up until today I could have said:
Availability of "Timmies" = Canada and Afghanistan.
But I see that they are closing down the Kanadhar shop.

Depends on where you are.  There is a lot more racism in AB than in Toronto for example.

thats true..

but housing is not too expensive in uk depends where you live like Leeds is one of the cheapest we pay 400 pounds a month for a part furnished 2 bedroom property, 85 pounds council tak seprately
secodly education is best here
medical is same in both countries,
food is cheaper in uk specially halal food/meat is available easily here which is also not too expensive
major problem is unemployment here at this time
UK is not as tidy as canada and america..
Alcoholism is at peak no one in the world would drink more than polish people here
UK is too windy specialy the northen side where I live
VAt is 20-23 % highest in the world
council tax minimum is 85 or 88 pounds per month
income tax rate and NI is also very high
