About Edmonton
One of Canada's most affordable major cities with no provincial sales tax and the highest average household income in Alberta. Winters are brutal (regularly -20°C), but you get 40+ annual festivals, a walkable Strathcona district, and housing prices that make Toronto and Vancouver look absurd. Public transit is limited, so a car is essential.

What American expats need to know about Canada
Visa
Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker) — points-based system scoring age, education, language, and work experience. Processing takes ~11 months, costs CA$1,525. Leads directly to permanent residency. Provincial Nominee Programs offer alternative pathways with lower requirements if you target a specific province.
Cost of Living
Similar to or slightly less than comparable US cities. Toronto/Vancouver rival SF prices; Montreal and Calgary are 20-30% cheaper.
Key Fact
Canada has universal healthcare, but wait times for specialists can be months. Having French language skills dramatically improves your Express Entry score and opens up Quebec programs.
Life in Canada
Hockey-night camaraderie, vast wilderness an hour from any city, and a multicultural mosaic where poutine shops sit next to dim sum restaurants and everyone apologizes for everything.
