Australian wanting to move to Vancouver

I'd come here (Vancouver) for an extended holiday first just to see if it's the place for you. If you love skiing and the outdoors it's a great place to live, but if you're expecting a fun vibrant city like Melbourne or Sydney look elsewhere. Canada is popular with Under 30's as the working holiday Visa is ridiculously easy to obtain. As you have just missed the cut off I'd personally recommend moving to the US on an E3 Visa or Europe. The cost of living in Vancouver vs average income is crazy so it's almost impossible to save money, my partner and I were on great money in the London & Melbourne and took massive pay cuts when we moved to Vancouver (No Fun City). If I was doing it all over again I'd probably brave the weather and head east to either Montreal or Toronto.

Hope this helps

Cheers
Pete

Dude, unless you speak French and, you are ready to be humiliated on a daily bases for being Anglo-Saxon or have any connection with the British or Commonwealth, my suggestion is, stay away from Montreal and Quebec!
As for the East side of Canada, perhaps try your luck in Toronto or even Ottawa.
Good luck = )
