I am not American but I got pissed when i read this.

"I moved to Toronto from Nepal (not USA). You may not expect a job here at least one year until you do not have someone to refer/network you. Life seems pretty simple/cool here, people are more social here than the skeptic & gun-cultured Americans. Schools are free for kids with a vast learning resources. Medication is just No.1, you must know. Cost of living may be upto 25% higher than in USA. If you choose money, choose USA. But if you choose life, go for Canada. GOOD LUCK!"

(1) I moved to Toronto from Nepal (not USA).
Dude, after reading this, I assume that you have never stepped foot in the US. So why the generalizations.

(2) You may not expect a job here at least one year until you do not have someone to refer/network you.
Hey, who knows, luck can be on your side and you can get that job you want in a heartbeat. In life, you always need some luck.

(3) Life seems pretty simple/cool here, people are more social here than the skeptic & gun-cultured Americans.
Gun-cultured Americans? Really. This is like saying all Canadians live in igloos, speak french and play hockey. Oh lets not forget, ride on polar bears.

(4) Schools are free for kids with a vast learning resources.
Schools in US are also free up until high school.

(5) Medication is just No.1, you must know.
Healthcare in US is also pretty good. Lots of generic medications available.

(6) Cost of living may be upto 25% higher than in USA.
25% higher than which part of US. You know that US is huge, right?

(7) If you choose money, choose USA. But if you choose life, go for Canada.
I think in order for you to say this, you have to have lived in both countries. If not, you are being biased.

P.S. Sorry OP, I dont have any advice for you as I have never lived in Toronto.
