Volunteered here for four months and fell in love with that place. So many nature related activities and the town has an awesome community! I was there during the winter, wich meant a lot of rain but I got used to it. Haven’t been in summer but friends say it is incredible

Loved Montreal food is nice. People are nice friendly, downtown is amazing and old montreal at night is beautiful feels like Europe. Lazer show at night is beautiful. Cafes have asthetic vibes it was expensive but worth it.

I visited Calgary by accident, just had a 3 day layover but it turned out amazing. It was during canadas national day and stempede festival, so the whole city was really festive and the vibes were great! I didnt really had any expectations but im really glad I had a chance to have this experience.

Went camping in Canada with a camper van to explore the country better. Was a very fun experience. Got to see lots of different places and meet great people. Saw lots of small towns with charm. Not too crowded.

My trip to Toronto in June 2025 was one of my favorite travel experiences. I traveled with a friend, explored different neighborhoods, tried new restaurants, visited famous landmarks, and experienced the city’s multicultural atmosphere. The trip gave me a deeper appreciation for travel, local culture, and making lasting memories through new experiences.

Vancouver is great for anyone, from casual walks along the beach to live music. I recently went to a concert and had so much fun. The transit is great, and friendly people. Although it’s expensive, I recommend Granville island

Highly recommend, but it can be pricey (although worth it). Staying in the downtown area was amazing, although a bit busy. There’s lots of to do and it’s beautiful walking down by the waterfront. I didn’t have any safety concerns

I've been to Canada for a whole year to work and travel. It was amazing! The people were so nice and helpful all the time and the nature is just amazing! I would recommend to buy a car though, so you can experience the country even better since public transfer is good but limited outside the cities 😬

Montreal
If you're a woman, it's better to be in company. There are a lot of guys who start awkward conversations or knock on the windows you're sitting at. On the subway, I saw people openly smoking and drinking alcohol. I also passed a naked man. End another man shouted at me aggressively when I refused to give him my phone. It's a beautiful city, but

Really safe. It’s a student city because of the university campus. Lots of young people and not much crime. There’s so much beautiful things to see and fairly accessible for women. No real issues about safety in my opinion

Québec is a very safe place during the day and at night! You have to be a little more mindful downtown during the night, but like everywhere! Most people are very nice and respectful, prices are written out before buying.

I’ve lived in Edmonton for over 10 years. I love Edmonton and no city is perfect but I’ve never truly felt unsafe. I think become a security guard may have helped with that but I’ve had no issues living here.

This bridge overlooking the lake was a bit dodgy, lots of people living underneath and I had a couple of men catcall me, if you’re walking towards Calgrary zoo perhaps take public transport instead, or walk an alternative route.

Historically associated with higher crime rates, though it has many families, schools, and community programs. Most residents live there without incident. Has higher rates of drug use, homelessness, and some street crime, particularly after dark.
