In my personal opinion.... Europe is 5* and Canada is 3* when it comes to people, family, social life and raising children. but Canada it's a little bit better when it comes about jobs, and USA it's even better and you can make double the money you make in Canada. So at this point you decide what's best for your you. But if you really want to move to Canada I suggest Calgary because that is a city that is starting to go better and better, more and more jobs and good pay. That's where the BOOM is happening. A lot of programmers moved to Clagary lately because they got really good jobs. Besides that.. there are mountains and nice things to see (comparing to where I live - flat like my hand) so your children could enjoy that. Again... this is my personal opinion.
