Even though people say Calgary is cheap, I didn't find it so.
Its not "Cheap", it is still affordable. Other major Canadian cities are hugely expensive and I do not even live in Vancouver or Toronto.

Having said that, I would still prefer to live in Vancouver initially just until I can own a car and drive it. The Vancouver Skytrain beats any public transport in Canada. I have heard similar things about the subway system in Montreal but I didn't visit it, unfortunately. I find Calgary to be more similar and had many parallels with life in Ontario. For example, if you don't own a car, it's impossible to do anything outside of Calgary. It's important to keep in mind that there are only 3 cities in the whole of Alberta province, which is not true for Ontario or BC.
Very true. Calgray is sprawling.

Mr. Gandibaat, what do BC and ON have in common, they both vote Lib. Lib = high prices
It's not really just voting liberal, ON and BC are more desirable to live in, simple as. BC is a better place overall than AB, especially the lower mainland.

I am not really sure at this moment. That being said Both ON and BC have high percentage of Crown land. AB does not. AB allowed it cities to spread out.

Wait, what? Where do you live then? I thought you said you lived in North Vancouver.

I did visit Victoria. I found the people over there really "animated" (I say that as a good thing). It was like watching an episode of Bob's Burger.

Is Victoria or Nanaimo cheaper than Vancouver in terms of rent?

Nanaimo might be cheaper. Victoria is equally insane. And availability of houses and apartments in Victoria is the worst.

Hiii guys
Regarding the post ITA forms i have few questions . Please advise
Looong post ..sorry
* How Can we disclose internship related to studies ? In which section ? 2 different lines that overlap are fine ?
For exple: I was a student from sept 2010 to August 2011 , but also had an internship from march2011 to August .

* How Can we disclose a visit to the family of 2 months ? In which section (s)?

* what about visits from country of residence to country of origin ? I Can declare most of them but not all (LOE IS fine ? Or there IS absolutely no need to mention all of them ?)

* My husband overstayed in France for 6 months ... We have mentionned thz period as unemployment ...but how Can we disclose the overstay ?

* I was living in France and traveled a loooooot in Europe . I cannot remember all of them ... Some were by car without ticket . How Can i mention that ?

Thank you very much for your kind help
Here is my toonie. Other people are welcome to correct me if I am wrong. @scylla -- your advice might be really useful.

1. Internship is tricky to use as experience so do not use it. Just list it in your personal activities section.

2. If it was an international travel to visit, list it in your travels and possibly address history.

3. Please elaborate " I Can declare most of them but not all". Whats the difficulty in declaring them all? Do you mean you do not remember all of them?

4. By answering the statuary question on overstaying as "Yes" and explaining it then.

5. List as much as possible. One day sit tight and try to remember as many as possible and keep on writing down each trip on a paper. If you did your travelling with a companion, have them join you in this trip down the memory lane. Keep a record of it safe somewhere... like your gmail account or google docs or some where in the internet.. Its important to be consistent about your past.. even if you have forgotten some of it. You will need it in future too. Rest just explain in LoE.
