John, since you come from the land of perpetual summer, you should consider the weather when you pick a destination.
The west coast is famous for rain. We are in the middle of the rainy season, which extends from Nov to Apr-May. However, what goes along with this is the mildest temps in the country. The city of Victoria holds the distinction of the least cold place in Canada. The city does not own snow removal equipment. Summers here are also mild, with temps rarely exceeding 30ºC near the coast. Humidity is non-existant. It is extremely common to see new cars here without AC. Motorcyclists and bicycles are seen year round.
If you can't deal with rain or cloudy days, Calgary is known for sunny winter days. If you like sunshine, the cold isn't as hard to take. Wild temperature swings happen all the time. In the winter it can be -20ºC in the morning, then +10º that afternoon.
If you like gazing at the mountains, Saskatchewan is not the place to be. Housing is still affordable, but rising quickly.
Ontario is a great place...... to be from
(jk) Winters are colder, and summers are hotter than the west. Humidity is disgusting. Plenty of air advisory days. I'm sure others will add to this description.
If you want to be fully bilingual, Quebec is forced immersion. Even though it is still part of Canada, you will be surprised at the cultural differences.
If you want to experience lots of snow, eastern Canada will fulfill your dreams,
and then some.
As a new Canadian, you will be obligated to learn the fundamentals of Hockey. You must be able to converse with fans even if you hate the game. The first thing you need to know is that the Leafs suck.
