If you want nature, I'd recommend somewhere near the mountains in the west of the country (calgary or somewhere in BC). If you like city life, Toronto or Montreal. Our country is obscenely massive, so much so that many Canadians will never understand what Canada is all about because they never left the city to find out. We have great hiking, boating, scenery, etc. Then again so does the USA.

More expensive? You mean more expensive than the US?
It is cheaper in Canada than the UK. The only thing that is more expensive is beer I think. Maybe
some food items. It is mostly cheaper here for me.

If you want denser population, better roads/highway system, just more of everything, then go to the States. If you don't mind a smaller feel but want maybe some more outdoorsy experiences, try Canada. *shrug* Why not try both?

Trust me, the Maritimes is nothing like living anywhere in the UK.
Maybe Nova Scotia / Scotland are pretty similar. But it's still cheaper and nicer in general.
New Brunswick, P.E.I, and Nova Scotia, Have roughly the same land area as the UK but with only 4 million people living here. Not the 70 Million the UK has.
