Toronto IS expensive! And this is a complete breakdown of how much I spend in a month living in Toronto as a couple. I am a 28 years old new Indian immigrant in Canada who moved from Australia to Canada last year and I make videos about life in Canada as well as life in Toronto and to say the least, Toronto is not a cheap place to live.
I live in a downtown Toronto condo and work at a medium pay job in Toronto downtown as well. Cost of living in Toronto is high and as a young working couple, I am sharing how much I spend in a month so you can know how much salary you need to make so that you have a decent downtown Toronto living because Toronto life is anything but cheap.
If you are thinking that Vancouver is expensive, then think again. I would to do a Vancouver vs Toronto if I had lived in Vancouver but hope this gives you an idea about how much money you need to live in Toronto?
And are you still thinking does Toronto have a high cost of living?

Should You Move To Canada During The Cost Of Living Crisis? | Rent, Transport + Groceries
After being abroad for most of the year, I was SHOCKED when I returned back to Canada and saw just how much prices have rose since I was gone. Real Estate is obviously the worst culprit in the cost of living crisis, but regular expenses like transport, groceries, going out to eat, have all increased substantially in the last couple of years. While Canada's immigration numbers have definitely increased and the countries population is now at 40 million, there is a large group of new immigrants who have chosen not to stay and either return to their home countries or another destination instead. A large reason to this has been the high cost of living, as well as a lack of high paying jobs. So if you are thinking of immigrating to Canada any time soon, I hope you will find this video helpful in going over what might be the best province for you to live in, as well as what you can expect as the average monthly expenses.

The 10 Best Places To Live In Ontario (Canada) - Job, Retire, Edu & Family
Ontario is located in east-central Canada, and is the most populous of all the provinces, with around 12 million people calling this area their home.
It is also the 2nd largest province in Canada.
Today, there are over 100 languages spoken in homes throughout the province, though 70% of the population speak English.
Ontario offers quality, government-funded education to its residents from Kindergarten until the end of their secondary school career.
Though Ontario has high taxes and living costs, their high salaries ensure that residents enjoy one of the highest quality of life rankings in the world.
Besides being Canada’s main economic hub, Ontario is also known for its natural diversity, including vast forests, beautiful provincial parks, four of the five Great Lakes and the world-famous Niagara Falls.
Complementing this natural diversity is a cultural diversity that is the product of high levels of immigration combined with a society that embraces multiculturalism and tolerance.
Ontario’s cities attract artists, entertainers, and intellectuals from around the world.
Picking the right place to live could be a bit tricky. From a flourishing economy to great outdoor opportunities, Ontario has so much to offer.
Here is a look at the 10 best places to live in Ontario:
10. Toronto. (best for tech jobs, entertainment, education, retiree)
9. Oakville. (safe, best for family)
8. Hamilton. (best for family, education)
7. Peterborough. (entertainment, outdoor activities)
6. Niagara on the Lake. (best small town)
5. Collingwood. (best for outdoor activities)
4. Elliot Lake. (best for retiree)
3. Windsor. (low cost of living, safe environment, near the USA)
2. Burlington. (safe, amenities)
1. Ottawa. (best for tech jobs, education)
We focus on statistics like real estate prices, average monthly income, and crime rate, and more.

Being a recent newcomer myself, I want to share my thoughts on the attractiveness of immigration to Canada, the kind of thoughts I wish I had heard from someone when I was taking a decision to move.
The main pros are: great infrastructure in big cities, nice people, democracy, rule of law, clean air.
The cons: housing, housing and housing.

Why People are Leaving Canada, Top 5 Reasons Why People Leave #Canada
Subscribe to my weekly newsletter for weekly writeups:
I left Canada about 1.5 years ago to travel the world and here are some of the top reasons why I left. I give a lot of my own personal anecdotes as someone who has lived in canada for over 20 years.
This video represents my personal opinion about living in canada and why I prefer to live in Asia or other countries.
The main reasons. why people are leaving
1. High living costs creates a low standard of living, especially in Vancouver and Toronto.
2. Lack of infrustructure for transportation which means you need to have a car in order to get around
3. Brain drain and lack of opportunities because most talent go to the states
4. Lack of medical healthcare because most people can’t find a family doctor or are finding it difficult to find one
5. Not much social life /activities for young people, most stores close at 6pm

TOP 10 BEST CITIES TO SETTLE IN CANADA AS A NEW IMMIGRANT
So you've applied to come to Canada as a permanent resident but you don't know exactly where you should live. Everyone has heard of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, but who knows if those are really great cities to start your new life. This list looks at big cities in Canada that are most accessible to new immigrants.
10. VANCOUVER, B.C.
The largest population centre in British Columbia, Vancouver is surrounded by water and has one of the mildest climates of all Canadian cities. Vancouver features a growing economy and a particularly diverse population. A popular destination for South Asian and Chinese immigrants, Vancouver offers the best of the best when it comes to outdoor living. An active cultural centre and a booming social spot, Vancouver is a gem on Canada’s west coast. Of the visible minority population in Vancouver, the most represented is the Chinese population (44%), followed by the South Asian (24%).
9. MARKHAM, ON
Markham is a suburb north of Toronto that is easily accessible from Toronto by transit or highway; it's right next door to Richmond Hill. Markham has a high volume of immigrant settlers, the largest portion of “visible minorities” identifying as Chinese (45%). The second largest population of visible minorities identify as South Asian (17.8%) followed by the Black community (2.9%). Although once known for being an agricultural community, Markham now boasts itself as the “hi-tech capital” of Canada.
8. SAANICH, B.C.
Saanich is the largest municipality in greater Victoria by area and boasts plenty of variety in landscape. The population of Saanich is as culturally diverse as its territory and for thousands of years has served as home to First Nations people. The largest “visible minority” population in Saanich identify as Chinese (33%) with the second largest identifying as South Asian (25%) followed by Filipinos (18%). Employment rates among the immigrant population in Saanich are high and household income is also high. Although crime has increased in the past four years, Saanich remains a relatively safe area to settle.

TOP 10 BEST CITIES TO SETTLE IN CANADA AS NEW IMMIGRANT
416-962-2623 / 1-866-760-2623
So you've applied to come to Canada as a permanent resident but you don't know exactly where you should live. Everyone has heard of Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, but who knows if those are really great cities to start your new life. This list looks at big cities in Canada that are most accessible to new immigrants.
The richest city on this list, West Vancouver is a suburb of - you guessed it - Vancouver! It is surprisingly affordable for the renter: the average rent price in the city puts it right in the middle of the pack; it's actually cheaper to rent in West Van than in Milton! The unemployment is relatively low, well over a third of the population are immigrants, and it of course features the warmer temperatures that the Vancouver area is known for. So what could possibly be wrong? Well, on average it takes about 8 years to save up enough money to buy a house. So if you're thinking of starting out in West Vancouver, be sure to check out the rest of the list to find out where to move once you've made some money in Canada.
Looking for a job? The rapidly expanding city of Milton may be the place to move. Though it's a bit of a hike from Toronto - nearly an hour drive in traffic and significantly further by train - Milton boasts very low unemployment; the lowest among the immigrant-friendly big cities in the country. There aren't as many immigrants in Milton as there are in some of the other cities on this list, and the rent isn't exactly cheap, but it's hard to say no to jobs. Unless you're concerned about safety: Milton's crime-rate isn't exactly low.
The nation's capital is a safe bet. Predicted by experts to see a boom in jobs in the near future, the capital is also pretty much in the middle in all livability factors: the rent and vacancy rates are reasonable, unemployment is higher than some places but should soon drop, house prices are about average, as is the time it takes to save for a house, and the city is safe with decent transit. But Ottawa is notoriously boring and cold, so keep that in mind.
Richmond Hill, a suburb of Toronto easily accessible from the city by transit or highway, has one of the highest percentages of immigrants of any city in Canada - nearly equal that of the larger and perhaps more intimidating Mississauga. The only thing keeping it from being higher on this list is the violent crime rate which, while low, is significantly higher than the cities listed below. Well, that and the fact that it takes significantly longer to buy a house in Richmond Hill than it does in some other cities: the length of time to save for a house is not West Vancouver bad, but it's close.
Looking for a cheap apartment? Well, the immigrant-friendly Montreal suburb of Brossard has them in droves. The vacancy rate is reasonably high and the rent is way lower than any suburb of Toronto or Vancouver. Plus, it has a way lower crime rate than the equally cheap - and even more immigrant-friendly - Dollard-des-Ormeaux, another of suburb of Montreal, located almost as close to the downtown core. Sure, you have to cross the notoriously traffic-jammed Pont Champlain to get from Brossard to Montreal, but Dollard just isn't as safe. Finally, the average resident of Brossard only has to save for three years to afford a house, and Brossard has the second lowest real estate prices of any major city in Canada.
Mississauga, the third largest city in Canada's most pop0lous province, is still considered by many to be a suburb of Toronto. That's because it is only a 20 minute drive from the downtown and a short trip by transit. Mississauga boasts a population of over 50% immigrants and a low crime rate. But it's still somewhat of a bedroom community despite it's size - meaning you have to drive everywhere - and the employment rate doesn't compare favourably with the other suburbs of Toronto.
Markham is a suburb north of Toronto that is easily accessible from Toronto by transit or highway; it's right nextdoor to Richmond Hill. Markham has the second highest percentage of immigrants of any large city in Canada, with well over 50% of the population having been born overseas. The city boasts a high apartment vacancy rate and the rent is comparable to the other suburbs of Toronto. Markham is a pretty wealthy place too, meaning that it is a safe place to start your new life.

The PATH Toronto | All New Immigrants of Canada Should Know This!
The Path Toronto is the city's best gift to its residents! Let me take you on a Toronto Path tour as we walk from Union Station to Toronto Eaton Centre using the underground network.
Watch this Toronto vlog to know how life in Toronto becomes easy with The Path and this is why I chose to live in downtown Toronto! The Path connects a lot of places in downtown Toronto including Entertainment district, Financial District, Yonge Dundas Square and a lot of other places.
If you get a condo in Toronto downtown then you will see yourself using the Path pretty often because it is heated, underground and has all the facilities that one might need including grocery stores, retail stores, cafes, restaurants, drug stores, toilets and common working space.
Use Pathmap to navigate your way through the underground network:
