To live, to visit? What are you looking for?

You need to ask more detailed questions.

If you are looking to emigrate to one or the other, your best bet is to contact the respective embassies or look for the countries external affairs or immigration websites. These will tell you what you need to do to qualify to become a resident of that country. I know for Canada, it is hard to get in without advanced education and a fair bit of money.

If you are looking to visit, then either country is good. I live in Canada and know of a number of beautiful areas that would be great to visit. I am also looking forward to going to Russia to see some of the amazing sights there.

Hope this helps.

Edit: Concerning the user mentioning that our security is overseen by the US...that is false, we have our own very competent Armed Forces, thank you. We are an independent nation able to stand on its own.

judging by the number of russian immigrants we have in canada who obviously feel it was worthwhile to leave their homeland for somewhere better...
i'd have to say Canada.

Its a mature democracy with freedoms defined by charter and a stable society with social safety nets, healthcare and decent schools, relatively safe, good job opportunities if your willing to work.

This decision to choose where to stay depends on your criteria. Start by defining your criteria and then give each a relative weight (1-10)

Test each criteria with the Russia and Canada alternatives.

You can then do the arithmetic and get a score of what should be your choice.With the final risk assessment, you can then made your final choice

moo cow

my answer will probably be biased cause im canadian but i say canada

Life is good

Life and climate are pretty much the same in both Countries if you have a profession.

DISADVANTAGES are few.

Russia is lacking some of the social amenities
In Canada you have the USA for a neighbour. A classic example would be the reply given above by ""trigunman""

If you can put up with that 'more superior than thou' attitude it pretty much balances out even.

Russia is an extremely poor country. People have no money to heat their home or even eat to satisfaction. They have a huge drug problem with their youth rebelling against the communist-socialist way of life. Not so long ago people had to wait hours in line just to buy a loaf of bread.

Canada is one of the best country to live in as per the UN. We take care of our poor and sick, education is free, health care is free, we just demonstrated our economy is strong, US is falling down and we're keeping our heads up high.

If you're asking as a tourist well Russia has thousands of years of history with castles and battle fields, Canada has a nice history specially in the Quebec but it's just a few hundreds years old.

ADD: Check this. I actually check my facts before I answer something on here...to whom ever gave me a thumb down.

According to figures published by the World Bank at the end of last year, 20 percent of the Russian population lives below the poverty line, which is defined as a monthly income of 1,000 roubles (less than 30 euros, or $38).

The great majority of Russian families are teetering on the edge of poverty. The World Bank has calculated that an average decrease in income of 10 percent would produce a 50 percent rise in the poverty rate. The majority of the poor in Russia are to be found among working families headed by adults with average technical professional training, and in families with children.

Most of the poor workers are employed in the public sector, including teachers, physicians and low-ranking civil servants. The occupations with the lowest incomesâ€”including those employed in the health services, such as nurses and medicsâ€”are of great social importance. The poor living conditions of those employed in these sectors contribute to a decline in the structures upon which a functioning society is based.

Canada, less population pressures, higher paying jobs, less insecurity concerning radical muslims (see chechyna). Also the economy is very well developed, and its military security is overseen by the United States.
