I guess I missed most of the rivalry. I've loved canada for many years!

Come to Vancouver!!! Seriously. I finally moved downtown and am loving it insanely. The non-summer months can suck because of the rain, but this past year it actually wasn't too bad. And our city is beautiful. BEAUTIFUL!!!

Come, come, come!

Wow! Thanks for the invite!

Vancouver is currently our top pick, we're just being thorough in our research.

We don't mind rain so much. How's the humidity in Summer?

Oh, and happy Canada Day!

I can't really offer much on an insight.

But when i went to Vancouver on holiday i really did enjoy my time there. I went during the July/August time last year and it was great, we actually got quite a bit of sun, there were a few damp moments and fog at times but all in all it was a great place to be, especially with the mountains in the background. I did however find that there was always plenty to do there which was great for me.

Thats as much as i can offer, its a great place from what i have experienced.

All the best in your decision making.

Thanks to all who replied so far. I appreciate it.

And whoever is voting "other," how about providing a little more info? We can't very well move to "Other Canada," can we?

I've spent some non-trivial time in several cities, but I'd say it's between Vancouver and Montreal. Or Toronto, except they have the leafs, which disqualifies them

I agree with Replicon regarding Toronto, don't go there. I live about an hour away from Vancouver and get the chance to go there every so often[I will be going to school there in a year], and I highly recommend you move there.

1. There are many smaller communities in and around Vancouver, you should have no trouble finding a Suburb.
2. The Winters are quite mild for Canada, there is the odd snowfall here and there but it's never very serious.
3. Vancouver is loaded with culture and diversity.
4. Aside from the rainfall that comes with living in B.C you shouldn't have to worry about flooding.
5. I can't speak from experience, but my cousin has worked for a few different tech companies in Vancouver, so there must be some jobs available....
6. Progressive, young, liberal, non-religious climate is preferred.
-Check
7. Near US border is a plus as well. - If your outside Vancouver it will only take about an hour to get there[assuming there is little to no traffic].

You won't regret moving to Vancouver.
