I have itchy feet. I am working a crap full time job and
have a university place for Oct 2006. So after Christmas I
have decided to travel, and Canada seems the most enticing
place as of today (my mind changes a lot).

I am thinking of going to Vancouver with a work visa,
anybody got any experience doing anything remotely like
this? Or any Canadians wanna give their opinion about the
Vancouver idea? Cheers.

Sounds interesting. I am sorry about your job sucking. It
happens to alot of us poor folk. I hope your travels treat
you well and that you come back with a rewarding and
memorable experience!

We accept people with open-arms here in Québec, but you
must accept the fact that we want to move out from ROC (rest
of Canada) ;)

(well, so do Albertians)

Vancouver seems like a nice place, I love the shots of the
city framed against the mountains. Never been there though,
and I hate their hockey team (The Canucks).

I live in VCR and I feel it's a pretty good area to be
living. Lots to do: skiing/boarding, camping, mtn biking,
hiking etc. City is really growing and turning into quite a
cosmo place with loads of great restaurants from every
ethnicity u can think of. Only downside is that there
isn’t a large experimental music scene, seems to come and
go…mostly DnB, tech house, hip hop etc. And of course the
weed is usually fucking unstoppable.

Rent can be a pricey if you live right downtown (yaletown
area) unless you manage to share it with some people.
Gastown is where all the musicians live/hang out with lots
of clubs/bars there.

If you decide to come here Email me if you want more
info…

If I went to Canada, Vancouver is where i'd go first without
a doubt.

Yeah. Vancouver is a nice city. Too many fucking hobos, but
thats its only problem aside from a whack music scene.
Definately make a point of visiting :) Its beautifull out
here.

system100: you can get some deals downtown. I am living in
the yaletown area, and my rent is 800 for a one bedroom.
Approximately 1/4 of what every other person living in
yaletown pays.

Why go to Québec when you can go to France? Really, I
actually had culture shock in Old Québec. Most people can't
even speak english. We are talking north of Maine. haha.
wtf!!
