canada is so cold....... u sure?

have u been like taken a long holiday just to try out the living there?
recommend u do this 1st

canada is actually a very nice country to migrate to if given the chance and opportunity.

so much needed,,,,, even i sell off all my asset including my underwear,
i only can get 350,000 in RINGGIT.....

but Canda will heavy jam 5 hours if heavy snow in almost 1 hour ride.

sounds like hazardous
if air cond kong in the jam, gonna frozen to dead in the car

I'm planning to immigrate in 10 years and visit there to survey in near future. Temperature can get used to.

Will be staying at least 30 minutes drive from metro and open small neighbourhood business and reside there so won't need to commute daily.

i dunno what is ur financial status

if u still gonna earn living from salary, i would say ur choice is really depending on an oversea job that u can secured.

planning to go x, but can't get a job in x, how?

Been there, is nice to stay.

As I said above, the plan is to open small neighborhood business.

i recommend you to first go to there and explore and experience the environment there yourself,

you probably may not like it, dont just simply jump to a conclusion that country is your final decision to immigrate.

which neighbourhood?

from what you say probably in the GTA?

Not final, but no harm to research first. Definitely will visit first to survey.

Looking at New Westminster

nice. go for it. weather in BC is awesome, not very cold during winter but can be dreary like london. i think it hovers around -10 to +10. should blend in OK too given asians are aplenty there.

tbh if i move back to canada, BC will be my first pick for quality of life. and not to mention easier to visit asia, just one transit rather than 2.

the feeling of manitoba and Saskatchewan is like kedah and perlis but of course slightly better. are you sure your business is suitable there?

yea, Asia, LA, NY all within reach. of all things, the temperature concerns me the most, but I think can be adapted, since a lot of Asians also adapted.

not anything fancy, probably just convenience store/small cafe as long as can survive.

for bigger money, i have other plans.
