Hello and welcome on the forum,

To choose a province to live is not always easy.
I lived in Vancouver for 11 years and loved it. But you are right, it is the most expensive province in Canada, it is part of why I left.

For a place to rent, you can have a look at our housing section:

Craigslist is also a good site to find a lot of things.

For school registration, it depends on the Province you're gonna choose, depends on the age of our kids, if you want a private school, a French or English school...

Quebec and Ottawa is the cheapest of all provinces.

Talking about GTA yes life is insanely expensive however you can try look for accommodation outside GTA but then commuting to your job location may be far.

Schooling is as per region and municipal. Rent in GTA is crazy. Like 2 room a legal basement currently is $1600 all inclusive or above.

Hope this helps you.
