The age-old question "Where is it better to live?", Probably, appeared in the head of every person. Recently, there has been a tendency among Russians to change their place of residence - and not just in another city, but in another country! In most cases, the choice falls either on Canada or on the United States, but it is not so easy to decide between these two countries …
Moving to a permanent place of residence in a foreign country with a different culture, different mentality and a different way of life (which is most important) is a rather serious decision that is not made off the bat. Here you need to sort everything out "on the shelves" before you can see a picture of the country that is ideal for you.
Canada
Canada is a kind of mixture of European and American culture, it is also very often called the American province. Despite this, life in Canada and life in the United States are very different.
Canada is a country with a calm pace of life. If you are a person who already has a family and now only wants to find a stable job and a home with friendly neighbors, then it is best for you to stay here.
In Canada, you will also find free health care and full social security provided to all citizens of that country. Speaking of citizenship: you can get it after just three years from the moment you start living in the country, but at the same time you need to speak English or French at a conversational level and general information about the politics, history and constitution of Canada.
And of course, the climate, which cannot be ignored. In a nutshell, the weather in Canada can be described as damp and cold.
USA
America is a country of dreams, a country where many literally find themselves. In this country, your most cherished dream can come true - but on condition that you work very long and hard, because few are lucky here.
America can glorify you all over the world: after all, this is a Mecca for scientists, writers, musicians and actors with unquenchable energy, the desire to work and the desire to get to the top of Olympus. But be sure that the taste of victory for you will be, if not bitter, then not so sweet as you expected, because, as noted above, you will have to pay back with several years of continuous work. And at the same time, you will face the indifference of others, the willingness of others to make money from you, deception and other, not the most pleasant aspects.
In addition, unlike Canada, it can take about ten years to obtain US citizenship, and all this time you will have to be content with various work visas, green cards and much more so that you are not sent back to your homeland.
But there is also a good side: for example, the climate in America is much milder and warmer. The very life in America is something amazing! The whole world is literally gathered in this country - and where, if not in the States, will you find such a flavor ?!
Well, now, having analyzed the general situation and information about the USA and Canada, we can say that the first is ideal for young, energetic and ambitious people who are ready to fight for a place in the sun, and the second - for those who are more moderate in their aspirations and just looking for a calm and measured life.
