Hello Everyone, how are you all? Here I am today with a new video.
Today, we have a new guest
He may be new to you, but we've been friends for a year.
So, meet Manpreet, my colleague.
[Manpreet] : Hello Guys...
So, as I said before, we work at the same workplace. But,
The difference is that I moved from Toronto to Winnipeg, and he moved from Montreal to Winnipeg.
So I was planning and decided to make a video today.
He said we'd make it today, and I answered alright, let's go.
So, today we'll tell you the whole comparison.
So I made a list on my phone of the topics we'll cover.
Such as part-time work, university alternatives, safety, nightlife
which is a big concern for people.
And how's the social life, so we'll discuss many other topics.
Watch the entire video. You can see his Instagram Profile here
so follow him, subscribe to my channel, and let's get into it.
Let's start...(In our style not in technical guruji's style)
[Manpreet]: In Carryminati's style.
So, the first topic on our list is the weather.
So, how's the weather in Montreal.
[Manpreet]: It was cool.
How much cool?
Can we gargle with it?
[Manpreet]: When compared to Winnepeg, Winnepeg is a little harsh.
[Manpreet]: But in Montreal,
[Manpreet]: It's the same, those who come for the first time and witness the weather, however,
[Manpreet]: it will be more than expected.
[Manpreet]: If we compare it with the weather in India,
India's weather is nothing. So, the weather in Winnipeg is a little harsh
However, the weather is pleasant in the summer.
Summer also arrives there as well.
[Manpreet]: Yes, Summer also arrives there as well. But,
We can say that we just need a/c for 1 - 1.5 months there.
Considering the fact that the summer season is really pleasant there.
But, in comparison, Winnepeg is a lil bit harsh, according to you, right?
So, the Winnepeg is a lil bit harsh
and Montreal is less harsh.
So, the next point here is, Cost of Living
Is the monthly cost of living for a new student high here or there?
In general, what are the costs in Montreal?
[Manpreet]: I would say If you plan to spend 400-600 dollars.
[Manpreet]: Then you can have a better lifestyle there.
[Manpreet]: You'll get a private room in a nice location for under 400-600 dollars.
So you can get a room here for $300-350 and a room there for $400-450.
So, Montreal is lil bit expensive in case of rent.
But, what about transportation?
[Manpreet]: Transportation.. I will say, there is no need for a car there.
[Manpreet]: Because there is the metro system and as compared to Winnepeg,
[Manpreet]: The transportation system is way better.
So, it's better there, because there are buses instead of metro
which doesn't arrive on time. So, in Transportation
Montreal is way better than Winnepeg.
The main question is, what's the cost of cars there?
[Manpreet]: So, for cars, there
[Manpreet]: is 3rd party Insurance and the first car I had was Corolla 2004 model.
[Manpreet]: So, I used to pay $28 as monthly Insurance.
$28!! So, third-party insurance for cars is only between $30-50.
[Manpreet]: If you're interested to buy a car, then forget to buy Insurance.
It is awesome, what do you want more?
[Manpreet]: But, if you want to buy a nice car like Jeep,
[Manpreet]: it will go high, but as compared to Winnepeg, it's kind of cheaper.
So, It's good that Insurance is cheaper there.
But, if I talk about one more thing,
we've covered cars and transportation.
But, is there any expense which you think is high here than in Montreal?
Is there any? Because, other expenses are almost similar, right?
[Manpreet]: Yes. But, wifi is costly here.
Wifi is costly here and the service is also not too good.
He used Hindi after a long time, as we talk in Punjabi.
[Manpreet]: I am Punjabi. [Akshit]: Here it is.
All the ethics are gone.
I am Punjabi. [Manpreet]: What do you mean Punjabi doesn't have ethics?
No, no... I am talking about Punjabi Ethics.
Okay, so this is clear.
Now, let's talk about the next point.
That's Universities and colleges, look...
For example, I am coming from India, I will think If I want to go to Montreal or Winnepeg
So, in Montreal, the colleges and universities are better than Winnepeg.
[Manpreet]: Yes. As compared to Winnepeg, there are plenty of colleges you can choose from.
[Manpreet]: And if we talk about the best one then that's Concordia University
[Manpreet]: So, in Downtown... [Akshit]: There's also McGill University
[Manpreet]: So, there are numerous Universities from which you can choose.
So, I informed you about some good universities in Winnipeg, such as the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg.
They are not bad ones.
[Manpreet]: But Montreal has the top ranking Universities.
And before we go to the next point, I must tell you
Today's video is in Collaboration with Yocket.
It's a student community and if you go to their website, you will know

and if you want a special mentor who will help you in every step then you can go for the premium version.
Otherwise, everything is free here.
As you can see, the best thing I found here is the College Finder.
It has options for both Bachelor's and Master's degrees, so you can choose your interests
and you have to select a country as I chose the US
then I'll choose my majors and then it will suggest to me some Universities.
The next thing, you can see in resources, there are country guides available.

So, Manpreet, tell me one thing: many parents are concerned about their children's safety.
Have you faced any safety-related issues in Montreal?
[Manpreet]: I used to think that safety in Canada is
When we come from India, we think that Canada is very safe
I can only say that it's safe in Montreal
I lived there for three years and never had to contact 911.
It hasn't even been three months since I moved here, and I believe I've contacted the cops nearly ten times due to various issues.
So, Montreal is safe and I talked about Winnipeg in Toronto vs Winnipeg video, if you haven't seen that
you will find a link here or here. So, Winnipeg is a little unsafe.
Because there are some meth heads and marijuana users.
So, it's an issue.
But, you are going to work timely...
If you follow a proper schedule, you come and go during the day and have no interaction with Downtown at night.
Then, it will be safe.
So, that was about safety. The next point is how are nightlife and social life.
So, tell me about it. Should I talk about Winnipeg first?
Yes, tell us about it first.
I still remember my first weekend here.
I drove my car Downtown.
I said let's see, how the Saturday nights are here.
There was nobody.
There was literally nobody near the main street.
I and Sorav went Downtown to see
and thought it would be a happy place.
In the winter, there isn't a single person to be seen after 4/4:30.
So, nightlife and social life here are only during summers and for winters, forget it.
If you follow Parul bro then you might have seen some videos
there are parties and festivals, thus the nightlife and social life are good in Montreal.
So, the final point I'll make is PRs in which Montreal loses.
Yes, If I got PR in Montreal then I would have never moved from there.
As simple as that.
I have to move here, you can say that I am surviving here, not living my life. But
as soon as I get my PR, I'm gonna move to Montreal Again.
So, you can say that Real Estate is better here as compared to
Montreal as its cheap here if someone wants to live here.
But, there is no competition to the lifestyle of Montreal.
So, if someone is coming to Canada, what do you recommend? Montreal or Winnipeg, considering you'll get PR here sooner?
See, If I talk about my personal experience. I came here in 2017.
Now, it's 2021 and I am still struggling to get my PR.
So, if someone is coming here, I would recommend, you should come to Winnipeg first.
Because it is cheaper as compared to Toronto or Montreal.
And If you have studied here, you only have to work for 6 months
in any job, no matter what.
As soon as you get your PR, you can move out.
You can also say that If you get better opportunities here then you can settle here.
So, if you are coming here and PR is your first preference, then Winnipeg is the place.
But, we have already discussed other things.
Other videos with him in them are on the way, and we're thinking about doing a vlog.
We'll go to Cosco and we'll make an adventure vlog.
Why did you laugh? Which placed is named Cosco? How would they find out?
Does anyone want a video of Cosco? Spam him in the comments that you want a video of Cosco.
So, that's all. Follow us both on Instagram.
