Your Alberta guide is ready
The straight version of trading prairie winters for the coast: what the move really costs, what changes when you switch provinces, and where Albertans land.
Download the Alberta to the Island guide
Built for people moving from Calgary, Edmonton, and across Alberta. It covers what your budget really does here, the provincial switch, flights and ferries home, and where Alberta folks settle.
Inside the guide:
- The real money talk: plan for housing to cost the same or more than Alberta, not less. This is a move for the life, not a housing discount
- A winter you can live in: mild and green, with a long outdoor season instead of ice, block heaters, and snow tires
- The provincial switch, plainly: the MSP coverage wait, moving to ICBC and a BC licence, and the PST that is new to you
- Getting here and home: direct WestJet flights from Calgary and Edmonton to Comox and Nanaimo, plus the drive and ferry route
- Where Albertans tend to land: Nanaimo's full services, the warm Cowichan Valley, the Parksville beaches, Port Alberni value, or the Comox Valley for the skiing
- What nobody tells you: winters are wet not white, the family-doctor wait is real, and direct flights keep your Alberta ties easy
