Living in Vancouver

Vancouver, British Columbia is one of the world's most beautiful cities and ranks third-highest quality of living globally. The Metro Vancouver Area has a population of 2,643,431 and offers a mild climate, cultural diversity, and an impressive natural setting.

 

Job Market

Vancouver has a strong economy and is home to many large corporations, a strong mining industry, technology, film, and health care industries. The city is one of Canada's largest industrial centres due to its location on the Pacific Rim. Vancouver has been coined "Hollywood North" because of its growing film industry.

                
Housing Market

Vancouver's housing market is the most expensive in Canada. So finding affordable housing can be challenging. However, some of the suburban cities located within the MVA are lower. Have a specific question about Vancouver's rental housing market? Visit the Rentals for Newcomers booth!
