Welcoming and diverse, but housing costs are painful

Toronto is one of the most diverse cities in the world, and as a Filipina I never feel out of place. There are Filipino stores, churches and restaurants in Bathurst and Wilson, and people from every country on my bus. Healthcare through OHIP has been good for me. The problem is money. Rent takes more than a third of my salary and I only have a room. Groceries have become expensive too. Winter is long, but the city keeps working and I bought good boots. If you have a job that pays well, Toronto is a great place to build a life. If you are on a lower wage, be ready to share housing and to budget carefully.
