Core Rules

1. Identify User Context First

Role: Tourist, resident, tech worker, student, entrepreneur

Timeline: Short visit, planning to move, already there

Load relevant auxiliary file for details

2. Immigration-Centric Planning

Canada has complex but transparent immigration. Key pathways:

Express Entry: Points-based skilled worker immigration

BC PNP: Provincial nomination (tech pilot is fast-tracked)

Work permits: LMIA-based or LMIA-exempt (IEC, intra-company)

Study permits: Pathway to PR through PGWP

See immigration.md for current requirements and processing times.

3. Weather Reality

Vancouver has Canada's mildest climate but earns its "Raincouver" nickname:

Winter (Nov-Mar): 5-10°C, grey and rainy. ~170 rainy days/year.

Summer (Jun-Sep): 20-25°C, sunny and spectacular. Best months.

Microlimates: North Shore wetter, Richmond drier.

See climate.md for monthly breakdown and survival strategies.

4. Housing Crisis Context

Vancouver has the least affordable housing in North America:

Average home price: ~$1.2M CAD (condos ~$750K)

1BR rent Downtown: $2,200-3,000/month

Vacancy rate: ~1% — units go fast

Foreign buyer tax: 20% for non-residents

See cost.md for current market data and strategies.

5. Current Data (Feb 2026)

| Item | Range | |------|-------| | 1BR rent (Downtown) | $2,200-3,000/month | | 1BR rent (East Van) | $1,800-2,400/month | | Senior SWE salary | $150,000-220,000 CAD/year | | Monthly transit pass | $102.55-177.75 (zones) | | Craft beer pint | $8-12 | | Childcare (infant) | $1,500-2,200/month |

6. Cost Reality

Vancouver is expensive but wages are lower than US:

Housing: 40-50% of budget common (crisis level)

Childcare: Among Canada's highest until BC $10/day rollout completes

Healthcare: Free basic coverage (MSP), dental/vision extra

Car ownership: Optional if you live near SkyTrain

Hidden costs: 12% PST+GST on goods, 15% tip expected

7. Transit Excellence (For Canada)

Vancouver has strong public transit by Canadian standards:

SkyTrain: Automated metro, 3 lines, clean and frequent

Buses: Extensive network, real-time tracking

SeaBus: Ferry to North Vancouver (12 min)

Cycling: Excellent infrastructure, bike-share available

Most Downtown/inner city residents don't need cars. See transport.md.

8. Neighborhood Matching

| Profile | Best Areas | |---------|------------| | Young professionals | Yaletown, Mount Pleasant, Gastown | | Families | North Vancouver, Burnaby, Coquitlam | | Beach lifestyle | Kitsilano, English Bay, West End | | Budget-conscious | East Van, New Westminster, Surrey | | Tech workers | Downtown, Mount Pleasant, Burnaby (near Metrotown) | | Students | UBC area, Commercial Drive, Burnaby near SFU | | Outdoors focus | North Vancouver, Squamish (commutable) |

Tech Industry Context

Vancouver is Canada's third-largest tech hub after Toronto and Montreal:

Major employers: Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, EA, SAP, Slack, Hootsuite

Strengths: Gaming, VFX/film, AI/ML, clean tech

US proximity: Same timezone as Seattle/SF, easy cross-border work

BC Tech Pilot: Expedited PR pathway for tech workers

Salaries are lower than Seattle/SF but:

Healthcare included

No state income tax (BC rates apply)

Better work-life balance culture

PR pathway for long-term stability

See tech.md for detailed industry analysis and salary bands.

Vancouver-Specific Traps

Rain depression — 6 months of grey skies is real. Get a SAD lamp and rainwear.

Housing speed — Good units rent within hours. Have documents ready, apply immediately.

Reference requirements — Landlords want employment letter, credit check, references. Prepare these.

Tipping culture — 18-20% expected everywhere. Budget for it.

BC income tax — Higher than other provinces. Alberta/Ontario may be cheaper net.

Car insurance (ICBC) — Government monopoly, expensive. $2,000-4,000/year typical.

Strata restrictions — Many condos restrict pets, rentals, or Airbnb. Check bylaws.

Summer accommodation — July-August prices spike 2-3x. Book early or visit shoulder season.

US border assumptions — Canadians need ESTA/visa; NEXUS card helps frequent crossers.

Ski traffic — Sea-to-Sky Highway gridlocks winter weekends. Leave early or stay over.

Legal/Practical Awareness

Key things newcomers should know:

Cannabis: Legal (19+). Dispensaries everywhere. No public smoking near schools.

Alcohol: BC Liquor Stores or licensed private stores only. No corner store beer.

Healthcare wait times: Walk-in clinics have hours-long waits. Register with family doctor ASAP.

SIN requirement: Apply immediately on arrival. Needed for work/banking.

Banking: Big 5 banks (TD, RBC, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC) plus credit unions.

Phone plans: Expensive by global standards. $50-80/month for decent data.

Earthquake zone: Vancouver is seismically active. Know emergency procedures.

Wildlife: Bears in North Shore suburbs. Coyotes everywhere. Secure garbage.

See safety.md and local.md for detailed guidance.
