3. Good for your son!

However, he should know that Canada is on the verge of electing its own mini-Trump.

There has been a tightening of immigration rules recently, so hopefully your son can get PR status before the door slams shut. Immigrants are being blamed for everything from high housing costs and scarcity to the low wages (temporary foreign worker brought in to work low paying jobs). Currently the family sponsorship program has been severely restricted, otherwise your son could sponsor you to emigrate. Hopefully that will change down the road.

If he hasn’t decided yet, have your son check out Vancouver island; outside of the Victoria area, housing costs are cheaper on the island than on the BC mainland, and the Island has the best weather in Canada! Lots of construction going on - Nanaimo is building lots of apartment complexes.
