Because it's my favourite place in the world, I love Vancouver and I've visited it several times. It's been my dream for 10 yrs. I do have some contacts over there, but people I am getting to know rather than close friends or family so I just wouldn't want any important documents being sent to...

Thanks for the speedy reply - that's all a big relief :) one less thing I need to stress about now, thank you. Oh and also I've started looking at your website - it's great! So much information on there, I've now bookmarked it as a favourite. Anyone moving to BC should definitely check it...

Hi GariKam, Quick question because you didn't have friends or family in Vancouver, did you have a permanent address organised prior to landing? If you didn't what was the process for your PR card without a permanent address for it to be sent to?

Hi Subash, How long have you been in Vancouver for? When I was on vacation there in June I met people from WorkBC (I'm sure they said they are on Burrard Street), they can help you with job hunting as they told me they help people find work, do CVs, Cover Letters etc so if you haven't already...

Hi Arman, thanks for being so quick in your responses :) I'm not sure what I will do in this case then because I do not have a friend/relative to have the PR card sent to. I can't be the only person who lands in Vancouver without a permanent fixed address yet and no friends / family. Does...

Also I will also be bringing a lot of...

Thank you so much v_i_r_u_s for starting this thread - it's a great idea! I will also be landing and settling in Vancouver. I will be flying out in May next year with my cat Lilly. Very excited but also finding it stressful with so much to do. This thread is fantastic, and I think will help us...

Cash and travellers cheques will be fine providing they are in CAD. Some of the Canadian banks will let you open an account before you land as well so that would be another option for you as you could transfer some of your money to your Canadian account. But you would need to show a bank...

I've now set up my blog and I've written my first post today (if anyone is interested it's visavancouver.wordpress.com) x

Thank you so much for sharing so much information and insight in your posts - it's refreshing to read positive posts about experiences in Canada! Il be landing in Vancouver in Spring next year from the UK and I can't wait to start my new life. Hopefully il be able to continue in my career as a...

Thanks for sharing this with us - I've added it to my reading list and will let you know what I think I too am thinking about starting a blog about my move to Canada now that I've got my COPR.
