Hey everyone,

I’m an ECE student in Ontario in my final semester and I’m planning to relocate after graduating. I’m mainly considering British Columbia or Alberta, but I’m also trying to figure out if staying in Ontario might actually make more sense.

I’m trying to get a clear idea of a few things before making any decisions:

• What kind of salary can I realistically expect as a new ECE grad in BC vs Alberta?
• How is the cost of living in both provinces compared to wages?
• How is the job market for ECEs in BC and Alberta right now?
• What are the chances of getting a Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) nomination in either province as an ECE?
• Overall, is it actually worth relocating, or is staying in Ontario the better option long-term?

I’m mainly trying to balance affordability, job stability, and whether moving provinces actually improves opportunities or not.

Would really appreciate honest experiences or advice from people working in ECE or who’ve moved provinces for this field.

Thanks!
