Alberta provincial capital and Canada's sixth-largest metro — anchored by the University of Alberta and the West Edmonton Mall (North America's largest, opened 1981). Downtown Edmonton (the ICE District + Whyte Avenue old town) and Old Strathcona (the dense walkable arts-and-bar district) are the walkable cores. Canada has no DNV; eTA 6 months. Alberta has the lowest provincial income tax in Canada. The structural draws are oil-industry employment density, the North Saskatchewan river valley (the largest urban park in Canada), and meaningfully sub-Vancouver/Toronto pricing. Brutal winter cold (January averages -10°C with regular -30°C events) is the practical filter.
