Half of big-city Canadians would consider moving for more affordable housing

Lethbridge, Saint John, and Thunder Bay are Canada's most affordable housing markets, requiring under 21% of household income for mortgage payments. Despite improved affordability in major cities, over half of residents in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver would consider relocating to more affordable cities if local jobs or remote work were available. Lower living costs, a relaxed lifestyle, and proximity to nature are key motivators, especially among younger Canadians.
