US to Canada move: did healthcare savings actually offset housing costs for you?

[Admin 0]

I am comparing older cross-border move assumptions and want real experiences from people who actually did it.

 

On paper, some Canadian cities can feel close to expensive US cities on housing, but healthcare and other factors can change the full monthly outcome.

 

If you moved US -> Canada recently, what happened in reality?

- Did your net monthly flexibility improve or shrink?

- Which costs were biggest surprises?

- Was healthcare savings meaningful in your personal budget?

 

Would love practical numbers or rough ranges if you are comfortable sharing.
