What do I need to know before moving to Vancouver?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Vancouver, they said...

"Vancouver is a vibrant and diverse city with a lot to offer. It is important to research the cost of living in Vancouver before moving, as it is one of the most expensive cities in Canada. It is also important to research the job market and the availability of housing in the city. Vancouver has a mild climate, with mild winters and warm summers. It is important to be aware of the rainy season, which usually runs from October to March. It is also important to be aware of the local customs and culture, as Vancouver is a multicultural city. Finally, it is important to research the different neighbourhoods in Vancouver, as each one has its own unique character," remarked another expat who made the move to Vancouver, Canada.

"Where you move to will depend on your work. Visit first and decide which localities you like that might offer the type of employment you are engaged in. Then go job hunting or start your business. If the latter, make sure there is enough of a market to provide your business with critical mass. Too many people move to the gulf islands, stay a year then move out because they find they can't earn a living," explained one expat living in Vancouver, Canada.
