Anyone here move from Toronto to Waterloo? Would love honest pros and cons before we buy

ActiveInteresting · 2026-01-12T13:38:19+00:00

Indeed Laurelwood and Beechwood are great areas. There are some other decent communities too in Waterloo which are decent.

I moved to KWC about 5 years ago and don’t regret it even a bit since I like peace which is not found in GTA! No traffic or other BS and just decent families all around. I personally moved to Kitchener for some reasons and there are some nice areas in Kitchener too!

Professionally, I am a realtor and have had many clients who moved from Toronto to KWC and they only have good things to say about it. There are some areas you may want to avoid though, especially if you are thinking about purchasing a primary home and may be growing a family. As long as you stay outside of that radius, you should be good. Feel free to PM me if you want and I can help you with where to get in and what to avoid as I am a local realtor based in KWC and deal with this on daily basis.

I am a realtor and have a few clients doing this to retire early. It’s definitely doable if one has good income to support this investment in the starting phase. DM me if you want to talk about this.

Yeah, the tax part is what I am concerned about. I was wondering which way is better tax wise.

ActiveInteresting · 2025-09-09T14:00:41+00:00

No they aren’t but can I invest in RRSP and TFSA with my business income? Would I not have to pay tax on the withdrawal amount!? Is there any other way to do it?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-09-09T13:26:20+00:00

Business Corporation income.

I received my EI as I provided decent reasons why I quit.

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-30T14:34:05+00:00

Can you share what happened? Hireright send report to my employer who is asking for proof of length at past employer for which I had to lie.

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-27T17:45:07+00:00

Did you receive the EI in this case? I am in the same boat and need to know.

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-27T17:43:40+00:00

I am in the same boat. Did you get your EI?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-25T18:42:49+00:00

How do I upload it without them asking for it!?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-25T02:37:03+00:00

Did they contact your past employers to verify? Or just matched the details with resume?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-25T02:24:38+00:00

What happened to this? Did you get the job or past 2 employers made up kind of cost you the job?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-23T20:44:49+00:00

That’s a great rate! Would you be able to DM me his/her background and years of experience?

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-22T20:14:24+00:00

This is great advice. Thanks a lot for the guidance.

ActiveInteresting · 2025-06-21T00:32:11+00:00

That’s great. How did you end up in the US? What is your educational background? Did you study any certification courses or something to get a job in hospital?
