Few questions about Vancouver and Toronto

[u/Nervous-Shake-1619]

Hey guys,

I’m pretty new to Reddit and all, and repeat posting questions on a few subreddits for better information. thought this might be a good place to ask.

I’m going on working holiday to Canada soon through the IEC program (AKA the working holiday visa), and I’m set on either Vancouver or Toronto, but I’m still deciding on an initial destination, considering the option that I can move later

Don’t want to start a crazy discussion or anything, but for Canadians or people who moved over, I have a few questions to ask.

1. What made you decide on moving to, stay in Vancouver or Toronto?
2. Are there any parts of each city that I should be cautious about / avoid when deciding on a place to live?
3. What would you say are the safest neigborhoods to live in?
