What should I pack when moving to Vancouver?

Answer this Question

We asked people living in Vancouver to list three things they wish they had brought and three they wish they had left behind. They responded...

"When moving to Vancouver, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the climate is generally cool and wet. Rain gear such as a raincoat, umbrella, and waterproof boots are essential. It is also important to bring a variety of layers, as the temperature can vary greatly throughout the day. Additionally, it is important to bring a variety of footwear, as Vancouver is a very walkable city. Other items to consider packing include a first aid kit, a flashlight, and a multi-purpose tool. Finally, it is important to bring any necessary documents such as a passport, driver's license, and proof of address," mentioned another expat when asked about moving to Vancouver, Canada.

"Top of the list is my Mercedes G wagen. Diesel off road vehicles just aren't available here. My heavy tools, bandsaw, planer, whacker, etc. I sold most of them before emigrating thinking that they'd be cheap to buy used here. They're not. Don't ship any 220 volt printers. I wasted my time bringing a laser printer that has languished in an outbuilding for the past five years. 220 volt workshop tools are ok though," commented one expat who made the move to Vancouver, Canada.
