While Berlin is a better city than Toronto, I think you will find that Canada is far, far more open to immigrants than Germany is. Berlin is multicultural for Europe, but it's nothing compared to London, Toronto, or New York.

That's not to say that Berlin or Germany are anti-immigrant or that you'll face hostility, but more that you will have a more difficult time integrating into the culture. Even someone from a culturally similar country like Belgium or the Netherlands will never be regarded as a "German", even if he/she lives in Germany for decades. This isn't the case in the U.S. or Canada, or in a lesser sense, London.
