I could definetly save 600 a month even if I rent.
How do you guys feel about saving that money and using it as a down payment on a condo. (10% on a 200-250k studio/bachelor)
That seems like the thing everyone is telling me to do.

Toronto has one of the best rent/buy ratios in the world.
You can rent a $400,000 condo for $1500. Try doing that in the USA.
Rent what you can afford with 35% of your monthly pay and save a chunk of each pay in your TFSA.
If Toronto's condo market goes to sh!t you can be sure the bachelor/1 bdr are going to be the most affected.

The one thing that's holding me back and making me anxious are my student loans. I don't have to start paying that until 2017 October though.

You're gonna be struggling in downtown Toronto with your income. You might wanna consider getting a place along a subway line that can get you downtown in 15-20 minutes.
You may also want to be patient and continue living with your parents until you save up enough. It sucks but we all have to do it and it usually works out better in the end.

You have a gift and you dont know it. I have heard Canadians are not taxed on their earnings outside Canada.
You are you and not me but if it was me I would RUN as far away from Toronto as possible and have a great life somewhere like China.
Why stay and make jack shit when you can make that anywhere in the world?

You're young, get a cheap as fuck place in that case.
You can get under 500$/month close to downtown if you live with roommates. You just have to look thoroughly. It won't be the best place(possibly in a basement) but you'll save money and it'll be more than good for your age.

You have not answered the important question of how you're gonna go out fishing for women. Do you plan to do full-blown nightgame? Daygame? Or social circle/online? Because if it's the former it's very important where you live; if it's the latter you can live anywhere that's at least conveniently accessible (subway line) for yourself/friends/girls.

Does the recent Canadian population and media behavior against free speech make any Canadians want to move out? Its much further gone than i thought based on the current hatred toward Roosh. Note that the US events did not even cause anyone to raise an eyebrow.

Save your money so that you can leave Ontario. Preferably out of Canada completely but if that is not feasible at least try to aim for Montreal or Calgary.
