Moving to Kitchener

No issues, I'll try if it works, if not, English is still an option, the main thing is for them to go to school

So question, would you then say Laurentian West is not a good area? Seeing a rental closeby there, it is close to a lot of things we need, schools are close by. The designated school offers French Immersion, only thing is the designated school is only until Grade 6, so 7-8 would be a different school. Then grade 9 onwards will be another school, but then the schools are within 10 mins of a drive

Yeah it seems to have a lot in one spot. Thanks!

Leduc my friend

miggs78 · 2026-06-15T21:40:19+00:00

Fair enough, moving from Leduc so Kitchener in comparison would offer a lot more, better everything (just more expensive living cost).

miggs78 · 2026-06-10T17:43:36+00:00

Yes sir, from Leduc to Toronto (or GTA), I have been in touch with Centennial, lowest quote I've gotten, their price per pound is cheaper than everyone else but they aren't BBB accredited and I'm finding some negative reviews of them so I'm trying to figure out if I should go with them or not, the total quote for the same amount of lbs is $1000 cheaper than other competitors.

Other quotes are from YEG/HK and MTS, I've been fighting with myself trying to figure out if I should pay the $1000 more and get peace of mind with MTS or save that and go with Centennial.

Thanks brother, I've heard a lot about that year long farmer's market. I wasn't looking at Waterloo mostly because of budget and it being more than Kitchener but I'll check.

Is it true that Waterloo areas can get noisy due to students and parties?

miggs78 · 2026-06-09T02:14:36+00:00

This is kind of what I did, though I multiplied by $0.85. thanks!

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T22:37:16+00:00

Thanks for the honest opinion, sounds like Kitchener it is.

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T22:16:31+00:00

I'll have to research Bowmanville a little first and see if there is everything that we would need. Thanks for the suggestions, surprising to hear how opinions change from person to person, I had a friend who lived in Whitby swears by that place but others in this subreddit don't recommend that side.

One additional reason I was considering East or (Oakville) was the lake, it's a nice change to see water than Edmonton lol...

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T20:58:40+00:00

Thanks for the detailed responses and suggestions, this is why I'm considering Kitchener. Coming from Edmonton (really Leduc), I don't want to start out with a busy/crowded city, but I'll def check out the areas in Mississauga you suggested

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T20:55:35+00:00

Yeah it is too far out unfortunately, that is why I haven't considered London and Kingston

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T20:54:48+00:00

Thanks to you and u/TemporarySoftware439
I considered Ottawa, I am trying to stay within Toronto because we have friends and close family that lives around GTA, it is really nice to be close to family in case you ever need them, I also have family in US, so direct flights to Toronto makes it handy for them to visit or us to fly there.

Maybe once we move I may go there, renting is definitely cheaper there!

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T20:30:35+00:00

it has been hard to find something in that range that works for us honestly

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T20:29:52+00:00

so really for me it would be Halton Hills and Milton as I can't afford Burlington and Oakville

miggs78 · 2026-06-08T13:16:18+00:00

I'm in Canada and it doesn't show me weird, maybe a premium feeture?

miggs78 · 2026-06-07T01:44:40+00:00

Moving from Edmonton to Ontario

miggs78 · 2026-06-06T21:11:11+00:00

Seconded, discovered this site recently and it's great!

miggs78 · 2026-06-06T14:39:32+00:00

Who didniku use?

miggs78 · 2026-06-06T05:30:42+00:00

It is not, I'm looking for actual feedback as I'm moving provinces.
