Looking for Canadian Expats in San Francisco?

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Canadian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

We asked tens of thousands of expats about their lives abroad in our Expat Insider surveys. In addition to our standard questions, we invite them to share what they like or dislike about their experiences in their own words. Here, we’ve selected some of the most interesting or representative quotes about expat life in San Francisco from Canadian expats, grouped into positive and negative opinions.

Let’s start with the positive ones.

On the downside, here's are some negative experiences from Canadian expats in San Francisco
