A bit too late for me. I made that trip to Vancouver bk in '69. Spent 2 and a half great yrs there then moved out to the east coast of Canada. When I lived in Vancouver, Flyer, you could buy a decent house for $40K. That wouldn't even get you the down payment nowadays.

Why are you looking for someone? Are you looking for opinions, help with the forms etc., or someone to sponsor you?

Hi
Me and my family allready have permanent residency status,just trying to seek others from this area to possible mkae some friends,and also help them with thier application if needed.
Vancouver is very expansive but i have a good job waiting for me there so we should be ok.
I am keeping an eye on the housing market over there just need to sell my home here in the UK.

I went to Vancouver last year, used it as a base travelling- the place is fantastic. and so are the people, so freindly

I'd go tomorrow if I could get a job(and afford a house). You need to be importing a skill they need to get in as a resident dont you?

Not always, young kids are just as important, skill could be builder helper Alberta crying for oil field worker maybe best to be single for that job but lots of cash ,just try and see what happerns

I am a plumber/Gas Engineer so for me it wasnt a problem getting a job.
I have details of someone in Vancouver who finds work for you and works out if it will be viable for you to gain entry with a skill you have.
Just let me know if you need any details.
It is a beautifull place and like you said everyone is so friendly.
Cant wait to get there,this stupid housing situation in the UK is causing me some problems.
