that was my first choice too, considering i currently live a two hour drive from the border. I also have recent ancestry there. although no living relatives
Trades in Canada get you a decent number of points in the immigration system for PR applications, especially depending on the province. If you’re fine with smaller cities, the prairies are pretty affordable and have easier immigration pathways, and reasonable (but not amazing) job opportunities.
East Coast is a good choice too, especially if OP is trying to get away from a hostile political environment. Alberta isn’t exactly much of a step up from the US right now.
