Let’s be honest: Even though Canadians insist that winters at home aren’t that bad — they can be pretty long and tough.

And many people secretly dream about retiring somewhere warm and sunny.

With that in mind, here are International Living’s top 10 places to spend your post-work life.

The ranking assigned ratings out of 100 on a variety of factors including the cost of buying and renting, benefits and discounts, visa and residence, cost of living, fitting in, entertainment and amenities, health care, infrastructure and climate.

These factors were then averaged into a final score.
