What is a typical expat home or apartment like in Canada?
We asked expats what a typical home or apartment in Canada is like. They answered...
"Expat homes and apartments in Canada tend to vary depending on location and budget. In urban areas like Toronto, many expat homes and apartments are modern, featuring designer furniture and furnishings, high-end appliances, top-of-the-line security systems, and plenty of natural light. In smaller towns and rural areas, homes and apartments can be less modern but still feature many of the same high-end amenities. In any part of Canada, expat homes and apartments are typically designed with comfort and convenience in mind and often come equipped with full kitchens, multiple bedrooms, plenty of comfortable seating and plentiful dining areas. Many apartments also offer spectacular views of nearby cities, towns, and nature," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Canada.
"It was a small modular home on the banks of Okanagan Lake. It's not a typical home for the area although there are quite a few areas in Kelowna with this type of low cost housing," commented one expat who made the move to Kelowna, Canada.
