 Here are six Canadian cities to consider after graduation:

Toronto

Let’s be real, as the home of Humber College and the University of Guelph-Humber, Toronto is our favourite.

Known as the hub of diversity and multiculturalism, Toronto has everything to offer. From beautiful Instagram-worthy spots to multicultural cuisine, it’s safe to say you’ll never be bored here. Living in Toronto you’ll get to see the four seasons, have easy access to green spaces and get to experience the beautiful neighbourhoods. 

Vancouver

Frequently rated among the world’s most livable cities, Vancouver is a great place to live after graduating college and it offers many employment opportunities. Surrounded by scenic mountains, Vancouver offers some of the most amazing outdoor experiences such as hikes and snow games.

Halifax

The capital of Nova Scotia can be a fun place to live. Being the busy hub of Atlantic Canada, Halifax is known for its beautiful landscapes, extraordinary seafood and historic allure.
