Hahahahaha.
"How expensive is rent".
Because clearly Canada has a nation-wide equal economy. We're afterall, a tiny country. Wait...
If you want cheap Canadian rent, move to crappy cities. Basically anywhere in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, or the Maritimes.
Rent in cities like Vancouver and Toronto are stupidly inflated. I was renting a 2 room basement suite (A tiny, tiny piece of crap) in the suburbs, about 40 minutes from the downtown core, and that was 1300 bucks a month.
You can make it anywhere without friends. All you need is the internet.
Is it easy to get a job? Sure. We have McDonald's/Starbucks.Subway.Supermarkets here, too you know.
No, those will 100% not pay your rent.
You'll miss the beach?
Learn Canadian geography.
Vancouver is lined with beaches, as is all of Vancouver Island.
