How to Find Housing Before you Move to Vancouver Safely

- I share my strategies of how to safely find rent in BC without living here first. It's easy to get scammed when looking for apartments to rent. Please, do not send people money until you have seen the place and you are ready to rent it and contracts are signed!

if your going to vfs check out the boarding houses by cambie and broadway, they rent out single doorm style rooms with shared bathrooms. that's what i did when i went to vfs
hey man, cheers on the video dude. I've spend countless hours searching online for a good place to rent. You've made this so much easier! Cheers!
You're so welcome! I'm glad I could help so much :)
You really deserve so many more subscribers, I have not been able to find good videos on this topic but this was perfect and very helpful! Thank you! The crazy thing is my boyfriend and I are looking to move there from Toronto for animation opportunities and you’re channel is also about animation! I subscribed. ☺️
Thanks :) Glad I could help, best of luck with your animation opportunities! Hope the next few vids I make will also be helpful for you. One will be on the transit system
EVERYTHING ANIMATION perfect! Can’t wait. 😊

Great video man¡ Keep it that way, your explanation an graphics are so good
Great info Chance. Thanks! Any chance (no pun intended) you’ll be doing a public transit vid? I’m moving from the states and wondering if I should bring my car or arrive car less. I will most likely be in the Yaletown area.

Hi !
So, for a job with $2400 payment a month and a rent for something of $1000 ¿is that an option or should I look for something cheaper? thanks
That sounds doable. Are you saying $2400 per month or biweekly? $1000/m rent is possible in Burnaby with a roommate
Hi! I have a question if you don’t mind... and if it’s not too personal.
How did you (or anyone) afford to go to VFS? Do student loans cover it? Lots of savings?
I’m currently enrolled in a program similar to the VFS Foundational Visual Art And Design. When I graduate I’m hoping to get into VFS but I’m unsure how I’ll be able to, money wise 😬
Sorry for the late reply, I was not notified of your comment for some reason.
It's not too personal. I had $8000 saved up which is obviously not enough so I applied for every bursary and student loan I could find which got me $3500 and I tried to take out a student loan for the rest but was declined so had to borrow the rest of the money from my parents. Though I make large monthly payment back to them each month to pay off my loan, I will be paying it back for a few more years. Sadly I don't know how student loans work because I couldn't get one.
My VFS adviser repeatedly mentioned how I should just start asap so that I can start working faster and pay off my loan quicker but I'm not sure if he was right or not because I know a lot of people that can't find a job in the industry once they finish school and even some that do and end up living paycheck to paycheck only able to make the minimum payment on their loan because a lot of other expenses are very high in Vancouver. Do what you think is best for you and be smart with your money. I wish you the best of luck with your carrier.
Do not be fooled. MOST Vancouver apartments are individually owned suites as part of a condo. Very few rental buildings exist. That is the problem.
That's starting to be the trend everywhere around the world. Greedy boomers who bought up homes for a honeypot so they could jack up the price to sell back to our generation now unable to keep up with the market value segmenting further now that foreign investors have started buying up property with the same goal. Our generation is forever screwed on the housing market.
make an updated vid. the algorithm will work in your favor
Great video
If I’m a flight attendant and would need to have a cheap place, (don’t have a car) should I look into Surrey or other areas?
Surrey is cheaper but you could probably find something reasonable in Richmond near transit for cheaper
I'm from Brasil and I really want to study in VFS. Any tips for me?
beautiful job. :)
Can I live with my wife and 2 daughters(4 yrs and 2 yrs) in 1 bed and 1 bath apartment. Are there any restrictions?
You will have to get the okay from the landlord but I don't know of any laws against that. Please note that I am not a professional real estate agent or lawyer.
Are you discussing Vancouver, in Washington state, USA?
No, the BIG Vancouver in the lower mainland of BC, Canada
If I was going to CapU for animation what would be the best option? (with 1 dog and a jeep) of course a jeep is just for sport for the weekends :D
My Dad would probably visit months at a time so staying with a Family isn't probably the best option
Might want to look at places in Port Coquitlam. People seem to be more outdoorsy there and would probably be happier to let you have your dog. It would be close to the mountains and off road areas for playing with your Jeep.
Thoughts on Washougal wa. There’s a low income apartment there. Is it safe near C st near Clark village apartment?
Washington in the USA? You gotta live near the school if you want to do well in my opinion.
Is just gic is enough for 3 months expenses i.e rent,food etc
I'm not sure what you're asking. I would suggest that you have enough money for 15 months of expenses minimum before you start at VFS.
Hi, is roomster a good option ?
I've never tried it. If it is, let me know :)
Hey you get a new subscriber 😊🤗
Just find a boyfriend/ girlfriend and split the rent 😩 I hate this place so freaking expensive especially for students!
I agree, I'm actually studying finance so I can get a job somewhere where the rent doesn't eat away at half my paycheck and where I'll be able to buy a house one day. I like Cranbrook, Calgary, or Kimberley where you can find rent for $500 a month and houses for $250000.
EVERYTHING ANIMATION I know right!The past 3-5 years rent just skyrocketed. Most people under 30 are here for school but intend to move east once they are done, that’s my plan too
I’ll be your roommate! I want to move there in April
Do not come unless you get a job offer with 4,000 dollars at least. Very expensive city. A real estate mafia ((from a certain race)) destroyed the city. It's expensive even outside downtown. Moreover, when you see the price you think that you will get a modern design apartment but it's not. In fact, it's a very standard design. The city should take a look for these overrated priceses.
I moved to a smaller town and stopped working in animation myself.
Your (briefly shown) transit map is rather old. The latest (2020) is at infomaps.translink.ca/System_Maps/165/Fast_and_Frequent_Transit_Map.pdf
Cycling in Vancouver is perfectly fine, especially due to all the cycle routes.
