Ranked: Most expensive provinces in Canada, 2023

Vancouver

CEOWORLD magazine has released the result of its latest study, revealing that British Columbia has the highest cost of living. Meanwhile, the cost of living is the lowest in the provinces of Labrador and Newfoundland.

CEOWORLD magazine’s analysis indicated British Columbia is the place that charges the highest when it comes to flights, renting or purchasing a living space, and public transportation.

Additionally, British Columbia is the most expensive location to spend an evening at a hotel, shop for clothes, and avail a dental service. This ranking was based on a study that considered 50 contributing factors, including income, property prices, rent, bills, food, transport, health and personal care, and other lifestyle costs.

British Columbia’s natural beauty and outdoor activities make it a highly desirable place to live. The lifestyle offered here, including hiking, sailing, and exploring vineyards, contributes to its appeal but comes with higher costs. Housing is a significant factor.

The average rent for a one-bedroom unit in BC was $2,173 in 2022, a 16 percent increase from the previous year and much higher than the Canadian average. The average home price in BC is also the highest in Canada at $906,785. Vancouver and Victoria, in particular, are among the most expensive cities in the country. These factors collectively contribute to British Columbia’s high cost of living, making it one of the most expensive provinces in Canada.
