Someone Who Moved From Toronto To Metro Vancouver Is Comparing The Cities & They Miss Ontario

Toronto is being compared to Vancouver by a Reddit user who made the move to the West Coast city and already misses home.

The Ontarian turned to Reddit for advice from others who moved from Toronto to the Metro Vancouver area, and Reddit users in B.C. Reddit users were quick to share their experiences.

"People who moved to B.C.'s Metro Vancouver alone— how did you adapt or cope?" the user asked.

They said that they moved to the Fraser Valley in the Metro Vancouver area from Toronto for work but so far, they've found it disappointing.

"The weather here has been quite dreary, or gloomy due to rain or cloudiness (aside from the short months of summer). Whereas in Toronto, sure there's snow and extreme wind chills— but I can still go outside and enjoy as it's bright and sunny," they said.

The weather wasn't the only thing to make them miss Toronto. They said they also "miss the bustling energy around."

After comparing their new home to the Ontario city, they asked people that moved alone how long it took for them to adapt and how they "coped with loneliness, or even the weather."

Someone who made the move from Quebec to B.C. said although the weather on the West Coast "is fantastic," but they do "miss having thunderstorms."

"I’m terms of coping? I kinda didn’t. I went into some serious credit card debt to be able to afford expenses for the first few months and I still haven't dug myself out of that," they added.

There were some people who straight-up regretted moving back to Ontario though.

"I had lived out west for 1.5 years, then moved back to Ontario where I worked in Toronto for 2 years. It was f**king hell. The mountains stick with you forever," they said.

As for loneliness, one person said that "it takes a good 10 years to find your crew. It's kind of just the way it is."

Others suggested trying to go back home.

"Take a break. Go back to Toronto. Live there for a while and choose," the user said.
