  One of the most progressive nations on the planet. Quality of life is in the same league as the Scandinavian countries, we don't throw people in prison for smoking reefer, nor are we mired in a theocracy, much like our neighbours to the south (and we also a "u" to words like "neighbors")

  the problem with cities like Vancouver is that the pay (especially for designers) is not in line with the cost of living. That said it's a beautiful city, and many people will sacrifice great pay for the chance to live there. I've lived in Vancouver Montreal Boston London and now Buenos Aires and I'd say quality of life is highest in Vancouver, Montreal is probably the most fun, London's the most dynamic but expensive, Boston's the best for being a student, and Buenos Aires is the best for... I dunno, eating out past 11pm at night? Having great weather? Being relatively affordable IF you're making foreign income... That said, it's a 1500 dollar flight back to most places in the States and Canada, and about the same to Europe, so you might be better off in Canada with decent wages, good health care, good outdoors activities, proximity to Asia / Europe depending on what coast. To go there legally on your own your looking at about 1400 CAD in processing fees and an 18month wait for the visa, but there are working holiday visas if you're from Commonwealth countries and 30 or under. You need to pass a points exam -- more points for more education, work experience, language fluency etc. After arriving you can get your PR card after a couple of years, if you end up marrying a Canadian your PR card comes through in 45 days or so. If you can get a job offer before you go, obviously they can put through the paperwork for you. If you're American/Mexican and fit the experience required for your field you can get one of the NAFTA visas, but I think you need a job offer for that too, not sure. Quebec is the easiest to immigrate to, then Manitoba. Ontario is the toughest to get set up in as all the immigrants flow there first. Alberta also has a lot of programs for temporary workers, but they're mostly for filling jobs in the oil industry, although who knows, maybe some marketing departments take advantage to get them in.

  Montreal is amazing - great people and really creative vibe. Sadly, I've never been to Vancouver.
