For my Canadian families:

In Montreal, You’ll have to look up the prices on houses but there is a downtown made just for LGBTQ! Full of restaurants, clubs, stores it’s pretty cool and there’s a lot of events too for LGBTQ! Pretty safe and good people!

None of the most populated areas have homes under $400K. For those prices you’ll want to look at the Maritime provinces (east coast) or Manitoba or Saskatchewan.

That sounds amazing! Thanks so much for the info!! 😊💗

I don’t mind it not being very populated! I’m wondering though how the culture is in less populated areas. In the US less populated usually means fairly conservative. Is that true in Canada as well?

Thanks so much for the info! I just have a ton of worries here & I’m starting to feel desperate for something better for my babies. 83 school shootings just this year 😢 I have a daughter & worry about her medical safety. Idk. Like I said, we’re in the early stages of figuring out our next move as a family

To be honest I’m not sure, but I assume that the less populated areas would be more conservative.

My cousin moved to New Brunswick a few years ago (because the housing prices were much more affordable compared to Ontario). He’s not too far from the capital city, Fredricton, which seems like it might be what you’re looking for— safe and inclusive. I don’t have any firsthand experience though.

Winnipeg and Regina are other big cities in lower density areas that have affordable housing and are likely to be LGBTQ+ friendly.
Like any big city, there is going to be some crime. Do your research on the different neighbourhoods and avoid the areas where crime concentrates (usually the ones close to the downtown core). Also, be prepared for cold winters in those cities.

Thanks so much!! I’ll definitely check out those areas. That would definitely be a change for me as I live in the southern US & haven’t seen snow in a long time. There’s a lot to consider!

My advice is to not move to Canada.

Do you not like it? I imagine for the same reasons posted?

Not all those reasons but you won’t find all the stuff you want in any Canada city. We also don’t have doctors. You can wait years to get a family doctor in a lot of places. Also our food is extremely expensive and if the reason you want to move is political don’t be hopeful here. Our election hasn’t happened and we don’t have good options. Besides themselves I guess, they are the only good kind of person from another land.

If you’re white and lgbtq there are a lot of places for you but if you’re not white, Canadians are very racist and have been complaining about wanting to send everyone back including people who were literally born here.
