Want to know the real pros and cons of living in Toronto? I was born and raised in Toronto and spent nearly two decades living there. I still go back regularly go back to visit family, and I’m actually in the process of moving there to settle down long term. It’s been eye-opening to experience…

The best time to visit Canada is during autumn. Honestly, after living in 7+ countries, I can easily say that the best autumn in the world is in Canada.
