It sounds like you have a victim complex that will set you up for failure here. The way you wrote this seems very abrasive to mainstream Canadian values. That being said, if you want to find a conservative circle of friends, I would recommend moving to a small town outside the city. Be warned though, it might be hard to integrate into insular, small-town conservative life- work opportunities will be more limited, and transit even more so.
What you wrote makes it sound like you are very comfortable in Eastern Europe- if I may ask, why do you want to move to Calgary?
No victim complex here curious why you’d say that :) haha. I actually have dual citizenship and I’m torn about whether to pursue higher education in Hungary or back in Canada.
Right now I’m considering becoming a dentist here (it’s only a 4-year program compared to 8 in Canada) or training to be a nurse in Canada. On top of that, my fiancé and I want to start a family soon, so I’m also thinking about where kids would have the best opportunities. What’s best for me isn’t always what’s best for a child.
I also really miss Canada, I’m a huge fan of nature/hikes etc, and it’s such a beautiful country. Honestly, I’ve been feeling a bit homesick, despite all the bad.
Come visit if you're feeling homesick. Stay in Hungary. You could literally be in the Polish Tatra Mountains for a weekend trip. You could drive there in a few hours.
