According to the United Nations, many travel magazines, Conde Nast, Forbes and others, including Canada's own National media outlet, the CBC, it's Vancouver, British Columbia by a mile or two.

There are only two cities in the entire world ranked ahead of Vancouver, they are Geneva and Zurich, both in Switzerland, although some experts will rank Melbourne, Australia as equal to Vancouver, most lists do not.

As a Province, British Columbia is unparalleled in beauty although I'm sure Alberta would say their Province is beautiful also, which it is, that's where you'll find Banff & Lake Louise.

The downside is that Vancouver real estate is becoming increasingly expensive

Anywhere but southwestern Ontario esp. Toronto or the G.T.A

I moved to Vancouver a few months ago and i think it's wonderful, for the most part. Montreal is a fascinating city, but VERY cold in the winter.

MoneySense magazine has come out with its second annual list of Canada's Best Places to Live. Rounding out the top 10 were:
Halifax, Quebec City, Guelph, Ont., Fredericton, N.B., Kingston, Ont., Moncton, N.B., London, Ont., Victoria and Gander, NL.

"The cities that seem to offer the best quality of life are the cities that allow you to have all the great things about living in a small town . . . that offer up workplaces that you can walk to or get to easily without sitting for hours on the highway. Places that offer you the opportunity to own your own home and have a decent-sized lawn. All those great things about smaller communities but they also offer you some of the great things about big cities like higher incomes and more amenities."

P.S.
Nova Scotia - Halifax
It's a very small city, but the people are wonderfully friendly, the surrounding countryside is beautiful and it has a great 'seafaring' history. It's also much more like the UK in many respects, i.e. sense of humour, drinking,culture etc. A very safe environment for living. Whatever your budget, there is an investment here for you. Whether itâ€™s just a small building plot or a hundred acres, a cabin or a mansion, you will find it here.You would be hard pushed to find more courteous, laid-back and helpful English speaking folk, only to pleased to welcome you to their Paradise. The air is crisp, clean and bracing.

If you love the outdoors, you couldn't come to a more beautiful spot. The people of Nova Scotia are warm, welcoming and down-to-earth. If you book a visit, you'll never want to leave!

Depends on what you want and what you need...
Are you young or older ?
Are you looking for work or are you retired?
Are you looking for city life or country peace?
Do you have a family, children ?
Canada is a big country with a bit of everything for everybody, it just depends on what you are looking for !
Be more specific and I'll be happy to give you advice as I have lived all over Canada.

Hi, I would say B.C. We have the warmest Winters in Canada and hardly ever have any snow. Vancouver, has lots of Beaches, An Amusement Park, and surrounding areas also, have, a lot of Nightlife, Shopping Malls, Parks, Restaurants, Movie Theatres, Ski slopes, Whistler- ( home of 2010 Winter Olympics), Beautiful Scenery, and NO SMOG!
visit the website to learn more about B.C.
hope I helped.

I studied in Toronto and Ottawa back then. I feel Ottawa is much more better than Toronto due to the fact that it is less crowded. It is a great place to study and a relaxing place to mingle around. Not much problem with traffic. Easy and convenient with food and accomodation. Less crime in the area.

In term of job, it will have to be in Toronto because job opportunities are better there. I tried applying for job in Ottawa and I had a bad respond. Practically zero because it is mainly government jobs. Maybe my results weren't that good.

When I retired, I would pick Montreal because it is a bleady laid back French province. Can't find anything else more relaxing. I would not go to BC for retirement. Although it is the favourite retiring place with good weather but it is overcrowded.

As you already know, I think Alberta is the best. *grin* Except for the housing crunch.
