Vancouver, British Columbia

Vancouver is the perfect destination for nature lovers who want to enjoy both the ocean and mountains yet live in a very multicultural environment.

Why Vancouver?

• Vancouver regularly appears on lists of the most livable cities in the world. The people are friendly too. That’s the “West Coast” lifestyle!
• Winters are milder in Vancouver than pretty much anywhere else in the country. If you prefer to avoid extreme temperatures, Vancouver’s climate is your best bet.
• The job market is good, especially in the tourism industry. Being multilingual can be an asset in this very diverse city.
• Interested in a job in the movie industry? “Hollywood North” is the top filming location in Canada.
• Vancouver is beautiful city that has it all—an urban environment by the ocean with easy access to mountains and gorgeous wilderness nearby.
• Outdoor enthusiasts will love the vibe and the many opportunities to bike, run, skateboard, hike, ski, surf and more.

Just keep in mind that…

• The cost of living is very high, especially when it comes to housing.
• “Raincouver” is, you guessed it, quite rainy.
• It’s the place to be for outdoor activities, but there are fewer cultural and historic sites than in cities in Eastern Canada.
