Ontario

Ontario is one of the top provinces to live in Canada.  Toronto (Ontario’s capital) has been voted as one of the top 10 most livable cities in the world.

Although the cost of living in Ontario can be higher than others, the lucrative salaries offered more than make up for higher expenses and if you know which cities are most affordable you won’t feel the pinch at all. In fact, 6 of the top 10 most affordable Canadian cities to live in 2020 are in Ontario.
