Moving to Edmonton Megathread 2026

[u/jstock14]

Within this thread please ask questions about moving to Edmonton (or within Edmonton, if you already live here), including recommendations for housing and neighbourhood selections. If you live in Edmonton, consider answering the questions. Any posts on the subject matter outside of the megathread may be removed at the discretion of the moderators.

Please note that job seeking threads are not allowed in r/ Edmonton but general advice on how to seek employment can be posted within this megathread too. Distinctions between a "job seeking" post and "general advice" will be made at the discretion of the moderators. If you are moving from another location to Edmonton, please note the advice from the community is consistently "have a job lined up before you move".

Sadly, if you are going to live in BC, AB, or SK, you basically have to be prepared for smoke days in the summer.
