We’ve told you about some of the underrated immigration destinations in Canada, now check out our list of places prospective Canadians should avoid: the poor places, the racist places, the isolated places, the depressing places, the worst of the worst! Naturally, the tiny towns in the woods of Northern Ontario or the southern shore of Newfoundland would be the worst of the worst, but let’s be reasonable. Here are list of towns and cities with a substantial population (at least 5000 residents) that might seem like a decent idea to a prospective immigrant interested in a slower pace of living.

High crime rate? Check.
High unemployment? Check.
High cost of living? Check.
Limited access to services? Check.
High property taxes? Check.
Bad weather? Check.
Despite being a small, quaint city just a few hours from Halifax, New Glasgow tops polls of the worst places to live in Canada. How could those 10,000 people stand it? They must have all been born there.
In 2009 New Glasgow ranked 36th out of 208 in StatsCan's crime severity index. The crime rate increased from 2011 to 2012, and was significantly higher than the provincial average.
In 2006, New Glasgow had an unemployment rate of 7.7%. It has decreased since then and, as of the 2011 census, it was 5.7%, or slightly lower than the provincial average.
The cost of living in New Glasgow was estimated by one website to be 4% higher than the cost of living in New York City, but only 30.3% of those reporting say their households earn more than $60,000 Canadian per year (after taxes).
Property tax in New Glasgow was higher than the average in Nova Scotia and significantly higher than Halifax up to and including 2013.
Climate
New Glasgow receives 1212 cm of precipitation per year (that's more than Vancouver).
2. Kitchener - Waterloo, Ontario

Congratulations, Kitchener / Waterloo, you are the hate crime capital of Canada! Despite hosting two universities and a massive tech company campus, the Kitchener-Waterloo-Cambridge tri-city area experiences a high per capita rate of verbal and physical assaults on ethnic, religious and gay minorities. Despite its location in the highly diverse Southern Ontario region, Kitchener has inherited the mantle from the previous main offender, Calgary.
In 2011 Kitchener-Waterloo was surpassed by Peterborough, Hamilton and Ottawa in police-reported hate crimes, however the rate remained at nearly double the national average.
3. Thetford Mines, Quebec
The third of the three rogues’ gallery dwellers is poor Thetford Mines, the heart of Quebec’s asbestos mining region and the winner of the title Most Polluted City in Canada. Despite the overwhelming evidence of the dangerous health effects of asbestos, Canada still mines the dangerous mineral, and the biggest mine in a populated area is in Thetford Mines.
4. Bay Roberts, Newfoundland

Many, many other rural communities on the east coast could make this list, but Bay Roberts appears because it has the highest unemployment rate in Canada, at 17%. Despite the oil, gas, mining and hydro-power booms in Newfoundland, Bay Roberts has somehow managed to avoid the job benefits. This wouldn’t seem so peculiar if Bay Roberts wasn’t just an hour’s drive from money-drunk St. John’s and other rapidly expanding bedroom communities like Conception Bay South.
The unemployment rate has improved as it was 20.7% in 2006
5. Sarnia, Ontario

Sarnia itself may not be so bad, but its view of and proximity to American heavy industry helps to reinforce the fact that this border town is polluted. It also has an empty downtown and a shrinking population.
6. Saint John, New Brunswick

Long known as the unglamourous milltown cousin to its apostrophic neighbour to the east, St. John’s, Saint John is a dirty, stinky pulp and paper port on the Bay of Fundy. Despite the natural beauty nearby, the city has a declining population and few economic opportunities outside of the paper mills, nuclear power plant, and small university satellite campus. Don’t end up in Saint John when you want to live in St. John’s!

The Smallest Town, With A Population Of Just Four With Two Streetlamps
If you've ever dreamed of living the quiet life, you'll no doubt be jealous of the residents of Tilt Cove, Canada.
This tiny town in Newfoundland and Labrador, on Canada's east coast, has a population of just four.
All four residents are part of the town's government, with the mayor Don Collins claiming there 'is a lot to do to keep it on the straight and narrow'.
Tilt Cove was once a thriving copper mining town, which boasted a population of 2,000 people.
However, the mine closed in 1967 following an accidental collapse, leaving most of the residents jobless - forcing them to leave town forever.
Today, Tilt Cove still has postal, rubbish collection and road maintenance services - as well as two streetlamps.
It also has a museum that houses pictures, letters and artifacts that detail the town's history. Named The Way We Were, the museum was built single-handed by Collins using local timber as a 40th birthday present for his wife.
Margaret Collin's family have been here since 1813. Her brother and his wife are the only other two residents in Tilt Cove.

ADVENTURE OVERLOAD - Exuma, The Bahamas Day 03
Travel Vlog three from Exuma was filled to the brim with adventure! It started with an AMAZING sunrise that seemed to hint at the glory to come!
We spent the day on Robert's Island Adventures (none of this is paid) and they are THE boat to book and see all the sights of Exuma!
They kept us ahead of the crowds and we seemed to be the only group at the attractions when we arrived.
It's bit of a boat ride to get to the center of the action but once you're out there each stop is fairly close.
We started with Iguana Beach on Allen Cay. Remember these are wild animals but they are very chill and as long as you move slow and keep fingers away from their face they will leave you alone.
Stop number 2 was the famous big beach! This still blows my mind a barn yard on the beach?! From the biggest mama to the littlest pig there will be pigs on this beach for years to come!
Next on the list was Thunderball Grotto nothing short of magical views this place will take your breath away. You do not have to dive under to get in but the current does move quickly so time is limited here. And the boat crew will check the water before entering to make it is not to strong to enter so no worries there!
For lunch we stopped at a local favorite Lorraine's Cafe. With big patios and buffet style BBQ this is the best way to take care of big groups! The food was amazing but the service was even better Lorraine herself came by each table to thank us for dining with her before we left.
After lunch we only had 1 stop left the Sand Bar! There was only on other boat when we arrived and they left soon after! With literally nothing around I took full advantage and got the little Spark in the air asap! The sands where peaceful and the views where mind blowing.
And... Do not forget this was New Years Eve Day so we kept the pedal to the metal all the way to midnight! We are starting 2018 off in a big way with a fun filled evening with good friends, strong island drinks, and a Bahamian parade.
This was one hell of day and all I can say is Thank you Exuma!
