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!

5 Top-Rated Day Trips from Toronto, Canada
Toronto is well situated in southern Ontario, with culture, nature, and small-town charm just a short drive from the city. In less than three hours, road trippers can find themselves shopping in quaint towns, exploring lakes and wilderness areas, enjoying an adrenaline adventure at an amusement park, taking in a performance at the country's most well-known theater festival, or soaking in the magic of Niagara Falls. Some of the main attractions are seasonal, with amusement parks and lake areas drawing crowds during the summer months, while others, like Niagara Falls and Blue Mountain, are popular destinations year-round, and possibly even at their best during the winter months. While most of these adventures are self-driving day trips, organized tours to some of the most popular places are available from Toronto, Ontario.
1. Niagara Falls
2. Niagara-on-the-Lake
3. Algonquin Provincial Park
4. Stratford Festival
5. Canada's Wonderland

Leg 10 Recap - Récapitulatif de l'étape 10
Leg 10 was our last full leg in the beautiful territory of Nunavut. The word 'Nunavut' means 'our land' in Inuktitut. Throughout our time in the territory, we felt so honoured to be welcomed by the Inuit to their land. As we travelled from Cambridge Bay (Iqaluktuttiaq) to Kugluktuk, we were amazed by the beauty of this Arctic environment and profoundly moved to learn from the Inuit about their traditional knowledge and connection to this land. Thank you to our participants, who came in with their minds open and ready to share. Your commitment to this journey has made an impact we won't soon forget. Experience Leg 10 with us in our new video.
L’étape 10 était notre dernière étape entièrement dans le superbe territoire du Nunavut. En inuktitut, le terme « Nunavut » signifie « notre terre ». Ce fut un véritable privilège, tout au long de notre périple dans ce territoire, d’être accueilli par les Inuits. De Cambridge Bay (Ikaluktutiak) à Kugluktuk, nous avons été ébahis par la beauté de l’environnement arctique, et touchés d’en apprendre davantage sur les pratiques ancestrales et le lien à la terre que perpétuent les Inuits. Merci à nos participants pour leur ouverture d’esprit et leur générosité. Nous nous souviendrons longtemps de votre contribution à ce grand voyage. Vivez l’étape 10 avec nous en visionnant notre nouvelle vidéo.
