Top 5 Reasons NOT to Move to OTTAWA Ontario Canada

Does Ottawa had a lot east indians? Toronto is turning into Bungalore or New delhi..!

If you are english, white, male, heterosexual you are not getting a job. Head west young man.

I have to question your level of education if you are having a hard time reading signs that are bilingual and make it a negative point! I know it’s crazy hard to understand for someone like you that a country can have two official languages and it could be needed for a job lol

Ottawa's a toilet. It use to be lovely with low crime. Transit is a joke with No See Transpo and the No Train. For years city council hasn't done a good job. Snow removal is brutal. I lived there and am so happy that I no longer do.

You have some points

the bilingual nonsense is a joke. the same speech twice. its annoying.

don't buy a house in ottawa . The property taxes are insane . Probably THE one city where a condo is smarter

Presentations are bilingual which makes them long. Roads and sidewalks are slippery in winter. Lmfao, this must be one of the lamest videos I’ve ever watched. Very amateurish video, don’t give up your day job.

Born and raised here...For the most part year round its grey raining and humid or gray cold and snowing....its absolutely uninspiring

I m from Brazil. I look forward on going to Ottawa as my best canadian friend lives there, and I d like to have an experience of living abroad again. I know that the extreme cold and the big snow falls can be tough on the long canadian winter, and I m not used to it, but I still think it can be a good experience. The high cost of the real estate there is also another issue, but lets see how it goes. If I dont make it, I can come back here. Living here in Brazil is ok for me, but there are times that we are willing to try something different. I look forward on going to Ottawa next year. I wont say moving because I m still not sure if I ll move there permanently

so where do you live now?

I’m confused because the other city you mentioned get snow before Ottawa

I moved to Ottawa from Toronto in 2018 because my fiance (who is bilingual) found a great job. Sadly, I'm not bilingual and we are paying for it....literally. On top of that this place is just sooooooo boring. And the stuff labeled as fun is not fun and is way overpriced. Its too cold and now too crowded (2023). I made some great friends though!

the most useless video ever and has nothing to do with the reality 😂

ottawa sucks. I'd move if I was rich nowadays

It is still a clean and pretty city. And diversity is good.Two official languages we are fancy. Love it or leave it I guess.

3rd world country.

I love Canada 🇨🇦

So where do you live now?

I'm an old man now, have lived here in Ottawa ever since I married a Canadian girl thirty years ago and retired from the military. Winters are hard and I love the cold winters and the hot summers. Keeps the insects down. Keeps the alligators away too. When I miss Texas too much it is only a short flight away. I love it here.

If u want to talk about all the negatives then it won’t be appealing to anyone. Maybe just keep to yourself

good stay away....dont like the place then best for your to stay away ..not really that difficult

I agree its so cold and boring and small

Lol, what is this!!! Bro, we can get a job in Canada if we only speak English, no problem!! Cold isn't an issue unless you lived in a pace that's constantly hot, just mean you're weak to cold!! Honestly, all your reasons are kinda dumb!! Even transportation is dumb on your part. Maybe learn what bus to take and the routes plus trains can handle the winter weather and they were shut down due to construction!! Holy cow, I can say everything said is wrong!!😂😂😂 Dont move to Alberta unless you want to pay out the wazoo for rent!!! Ottawa is cheap! I pay 1,200 for my apartment and your price is for the high end luxury apartments thats why they are expensive!! I can go on forever about this!!😂😂😂

Working in the military, I recieve more threats and misbehaviors in Ottawa than any of my deployments combined.

Says a lot about the capital.

I was born and grew up in Ottawa ,,, I always had things to do , somewhere to go , and a lot of clubs and bars , and night-dancing's either in Ottawa or Aylmer ,Hull,, Gatineay ,,etc, like I said there is always somewhere to go , even skating , or excursions , cabin a sucre and hay rides ,, like I said ,, just check out your local papers or website for activities to do in Ottawa ,, even though it is cold during winter , just wear two layers of clothing , protect yourself and keep warm , and in the summer , heaps to do ,, camping or more places to hang out to ,, just check around and ask around ,, even though I've been away from Ottawa for a long time , I'm sure there is still heaps to do ,, it's not just about Government workers ,, there is a lot more than you see ,, anyway ,, Canada is big ,, and it's your choice what you want to do with your time , hang out indoors or hangout outdoors ,, just check it out ,,

I've been dealing with snow and ice for over 30 years, and I wouldn't have it any other way. It'a a good balance. Just when summer is getting too hot and sweaty, the witch of Novemeber comes by to make me remember why I look forward to summer year after year. Lol.

I’m Canadian and that I find a bit well I don’t like it when I see videos about this

Most restaurants close at 6 pm??? Buddy this is the DUMBEST video about Ottawa 😭😭😭 only accurate thing was about the harsh winters and terrible transit. Have no idea where u came up with the bilingual part, YES if ur bilingual u can thrive in Ottawa like anywhere else literally in the world, but u do not need to know both languages, nor does it affect ur life. If u work in a position in the government and need to be bilingual, most people take it in school like people I went to school with OR if u move from elsewhere to work for the government than u either already speak French or whatever, but nowhere in Ottawa do u NEED to know both languages nor does it limit u whatsoever. Frig u can get by in Montreal without a lick of French either. I moved to BC from Ottawa last year and I’m going back for MANY positive reasons. Ottawa is located basically directly inbetween the 2 biggest cities in Canada, a couple hour drive one way u have MTL, 4 hours the other way u have Toronto. It is a very very clean city compared to cities like MTL or Vancouver, where u can’t walk anywhere downtown without smelling human feces. Idk WHERE u came up with the idea that restaurants close at 6, completely skewing anyone whose watching this who doesn’t know about Ottawa. Sure it isn’t known for it’s night life, but it is a very affordable city without the crazy traffic of other major Canadian cities. The transit is terrible, but atleast with a car u can get from place to place fairly quickly unless ur crossing the bridge. Ottawa is a fantastic city and very affordable compared to other places, great to raise a family put some respect on 613!!

According to you..Which is the best city to live in canada..??

HOW DID YOU KNOW

Snow lasts from December to March...

I've lived in the Ottawa area since 1974. I am tired of the cold. I will retire to southwest Ontario. Maybe Strathroy.

I lived in Ottawa from December 2011 to November 2021. It only started changing to become a modern city in 2014. The snow that lingers and overcast fall, winter and spring is much too unbearable. Downtown feels unsafe and it is filled with many odd people in large parts, close to the city, eg. Vanier. Gatineau was much nicer but too quiet and lonely during winters. I'm back in Singapore now but Ottawa will always have a special place and memories for me. The short summers are really awesome in this city!

Don't leave Ottawa, you can move to M an T, study in NY, the cities are not all far, so Ottawa is best position in Canada.

the five points should be true! However Ottawa is safe, clean, peaceful, a centre of 2 provinces and has great future, because no one capital won't develop.will see that$$$

Ottawa is cold?! Haha that’s nothing to me since I live up North in the James bay region, it’s a way more colder lol 😂

Ottawa is by far better than Toronto...makea video about Toronto, or smiths falls!

its boring

I'm gonna be staying there for over a year and taking a course in Ottawa I do have a job lined for me there but I do plan on looking into a smaller location soon once my course is done. I'm leaving BC due to how expensive and unfordable it has become.

It is cold in Canada more or less everywhere except the GTA & BC. Toronto /GTA is warmer but the commute is horrendous and public transit is substandard for a metropolitan area. Generally Canadian government over decades did not have the will to invest into modern infrastructure.

Trash city

Ottawa is amazing! Ya its not as busy as toronto or montreal, but thats why people live here, cheaper to afford, tons of things to do in the summer months. Canal is amazing in the winter, tons of ski hills too. Ottawa has a bad rap 🙂

Yeah it's expensive to live in Ottawa

I'm an Ottawa native. The "downtown" you present is where all the government buildings are. Not many live around there, so you can't expect it to be lively. Places such as the Byward market are much livelier, and can be quite packed on Weekends.

Man I hate living in Ottawa

ottawa is the best if you go to the mall it’s the best

g oh are disrespectful to Canada ottawa because I live at ottawa and agonqwin people found canada

The most boring city ! F ...Trudeau
