Hi all,
I'm looking for contact in Vancouver. I'm living in Belgium and I plan to emigrate to Canada and I'd like to live and work in Vancouver.
I'm 35 and I speak French and English and I'm impatient to discover the life in Canada.
Best regards,
Fred
Looking foward to live and work in Vancouver

Vancouverites People are byproduct british ... They start nearly every sentence with one of two phrases : „I'm so sorry“ or „Excuse me please“ ....They love pets a lot more than u and me...they do things by the way -do it yourself- in one word they are Anglo-saxons and not latin like you...to end wait and see...

Haydaro is right, by saying that manners are important to Vancouverites and that it can be difficult to form friendships outside of work, but they also embrace many cultures and are very tolerant, as a whole. There are racists, unfortunately, but they are the exception. The city is expensive, it is usually cheaper to rent than to buy and while French is spoken around town it is not widely spoken in businesses, and the people in general. You are just as likely to hear Cantonese, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish, Japanese etc. (You likely understand what my point is.)
It is a beautiful city with lots of outdoor activities, incredible restaurants for all budgets and cultural venues. Best of luck in relocating!
