Speaking of Canada, everyone is familiar with it, but when it comes to Canadian cities, everyone still stays in popular cities such as Vancouver, Toronto, . When talking about Saskatchewan, there will be some bad impressions, but in fact Saskatchewan is also worth it. It’s for everyone to understand and live. Next, let Li Sichen’s study abroad editor reveal the “true face” of Saskatchewan for everyone. Answer the following questions.
Is Saskatchewan full of weeds?
Saskatchewan is one of the three major prairie provinces in Canada. There is a lot of grass, but it is not wild.
We need to correct the name of Saskatchewan! Except for the large arctic forest in northern Saskatchewan, most of the area is fertile grain fields, and food is the life of the people! ! !
Nearly half of Canada's arable land is in this province - most of the land is grown with world-famous Canadian high-quality wheat. This is Canada's "bread basket".
Do people in Saskatchewan only farm?
Saskatchewan is indeed a large agricultural province. This is not wrong in itself, but it is not comprehensive. Saskatchewan is also a major mining and energy province. Its potash reserves account for two-thirds of the world's reserves and can be mined for hundreds of years; its uranium ore output ranks first in the world.
Saskatchewan is also Canada’s second largest crude oil producer and third largest natural gas producer. It has the world’s largest diamond-bearing igneous rock formation—now anyone looking for diamonds can find it near the city of Saskatoon. You can't just admire the wheat and forests on the ground and forget about the endless treasures under your feet.
Saskatchewan is very cold in winter and hot in summer?
This problem is a cliché. It is inevitable to encounter the problem of "too cold" when going to Canada. Saskatchewan is similar to other cities in Canada. Except for BC, most parts of Canada are very cold in winter. But it’s only cold outside, and it’s still very warm indoors. Imagine our Harbin. Although Saskatchewan has relatively cold winters, there is plenty of sunshine.
Summer in Saskatchewan, like other provinces in Canada, has beautiful scenery and pleasant weather. Thinking about it on the other hand, it’s not too hot in summer. You’ll need air conditioning for about 2-3 weeks, but it’s much more comfortable than summer in Shanghai, Hangzhou, Wuhan, and Nanjing. There is not much difference in temperature between day and night, and it is not cold at night if you go camping.
The living standard in Saskatchewan is very low?
If the standard of living refers to the salary level, the salary level in Saskatchewan is indeed not very high, but the cost of living here is very low, especially housing prices. So the quality of life is not low.
On the official website of the Province of Saskatchewan, there is a comparison of housing prices in major Canadian cities released in March 2019. The housing prices in Saskatchewan are only one-quarter of the housing prices in Vancouver and less than one-half of the housing prices in Toronto. With the increase in housing prices in Saskatchewan, The large number of applicants and the influx of new immigrants into Saskatchewan will inevitably lead to greater room for appreciation of housing prices in Saskatchewan.
Looking at another picture, the official website also published a comparison chart of taxes and household expenses spent by families with annual incomes of US$40,000 and US$75,000 in major Canadian cities in 2019.
It is not difficult to see that in Saskatchewan, the price level is low, but on the contrary, the quality of life can be very high.
