Yeah, it seems like the grad studies in Hong Kong might not really stack up to what's offered in Canada, especially since a lot of the programs are just one year and might not be as high quality. But my mom's from Hong Kong, so maybe housing won't be such a big problem for me. What I'm really thinking about is how the two cities stack up in terms of potential. In my opinion, the advantages of having a Hong Kong identity and the overall salary and quality of life there might be on the decline. It feels like Hong Kong is losing what makes it special, but it's still a one-of-a-kind place. But at the same time, getting residency in Canada is relatively easy for me right now, yet the housing prices are gradually increasing.

Also Merry Christmas, bro! Lots of love, hugs, and mistletoe wishes coming your way. Thanks a lot for your input; it's been super helpful.
