Watching your content, I'd imagine what my son might expect to go through [more or less] if we were to immigrate to vancouver from Malaysia. Thank you for your content. Please continue to produce more useful contents.
Absolutely! I’m so happy you were able to find value in my videos, you and your son are very welcome to reach out for any help I can give you and answering any questions you guys may have :)
I'm still going to visit bo matter what, I'm from Ohio USA and I'm generally in love with Canada. I visited Nova Scotia last year and loved all nine days of it.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I hope your goal comes through of living in Vancouver. Portugal seems like a beautiful place to live as well
I think Portugal is a nice place to live, isn't it? because I want to study abroad, and I'm betwen Portugal and Canada. Do you think Canada is the better option?
@@yassersabek4552 Portugal is amazing. You have great quality of life, it is safe and you have so many things to do. Regarding studying you have the best universities in lisbon, porto and Coimbra. My fav is in Coimbra you have one of the oldest universities in europe.
Same. I don’t think my future is here in Vancouver and I’ve been here for over 3yrs coming from Toronto. The expensive high cost of living is my breaking point and I’m just waiting for another tipping point for me to leaving Vancouver forever..
Real estate is also a direct and indirect driver of increase other cost of living. E.g. commercial real estate rent increases for businesses are passed down to consumers. Grocers giving exclusive distribution rights from suppliers to be sole customers (cannot sell to competitors) means you pay a premium for exclusivity to prevent competitors from establishing supply chain easily. Gas has increasing carbon tax so you would pay $0.20 to $0.50 additional various taxes per liter of gas. This is supposed to spur less demand for environmental benefits and money raised to subsidize alternatives like Transit working its way into an expected revenue stream for the government budget. If you go to other cities, cost of living is increasing everywhere so relative to US cities, Canada living costs are comparable to mid-tier US city costs. $200 USD hotpot in Seattle at Haidilao would cost $200 CAD in Vancouver at Haidilao. It is relative to salary or wages in Canada the cost of living is considered high. Those who earn USD via remote work or own a small business hiring Canadians and charging USD for US clients are willing to pay the premium of $5000+ a month rent or buy a $2.5-$3 million single-family home and consider it equal or better value given their love of nature compared to living in major global cities. With the diversity of immigrants, Vancouver is one of the few places where you can eat authentic cuisine you otherwise would need to travel to the country to experience. Whether or not one has an undergraduate degree or masters degree, your way of being able to articulate and get across ideas already meets or exceeds that of having a degree.
I moved to Vancouver from Europe three years ago. It's a nice city but impossibly expensive. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else in Canada, though, so I'm kind of stuck here for now. I might eventually leave Canada altogether.
@@WonbaeSon to be honest I regret moving to Canada and I can’t easily go back. I was living in Germany. I miss walkable cities(Vancouver is not bad but nowhere near as walkable as most European cities), great public transportation(again Vancouver is decent for NA but not sufficient), somewhat reasonable housing prices, lots of vacation days and all that social stuff, amazing architecture and history and cultural events. Living in Germany was definitely more relaxed. I find Vancouver to be very boring with not much to do or explore. I’m not an outdoorsy person
Great Video! Vancouver is beautiful but I urge you to travel outside of Canada as much as you can while you are young and are not tied down by major obligations (kids or mortgage). Go out and see what the countries have to offer and also take notice of the things that other countries do well. Enjoy these next 5 years! Canada has become a real estate banana republic which accounts for 16% of our GDP. Taxes and unemployment are also way too high making it tough to raise a family and save enough for retirement.
Absolutely, thank you for advice. I plan to backpack around Europe in a couple of months and make a video comparing some of the European cities to Vancovuer. Please consider subscribing and have a nice day :) talk to you soon
I would say generally yes, just watch out for specific areas such as downtown eastside. For most tourist destinations, there are many people around and it is generally safe
Beaches lol - yeah OK for Canada I guess, but travel even a little and you realize those big cargo ships in the distance with the cruise ships dumping RAW SEWAGE that floats to the shores: NO THANKS. You can't compare us to Hawaii, DM, Caribbean, even FLA and TEX
Yeah I get your point. I don’t go to the beaches for swimming, and prefer lakes or beachside pools for that instead. Beaches I just enjoy for the views and vibes, hanging out. I’ve been to Hawaii and yes their beaches are incomparable
10 years living in this city. I honestly think Vancouver is way overrated and way overpriced. I’m finally leaving with my family this summer. Can’t wait to finally get out of here. Good luck to everybody. Mic drop
Hi, you did a clear good vlog. BUT Its INSANE to live here, YET many want to (Isnt that an oxymoron?)---basically from what get paid (vs the COST of stuff)....and cuz more come it drives the costs up? blah blah blah, wont even start its like some puzzling /go around matrix --I hate to say it, but shouldn't allow any more people in to stay (especially if they are trying to sneak in)
Yeah I agree, there are definitely some people exploiting the system to sneak in, though many are still going through the system properly to immigrate to this city as my family did.
Well said, people getting their licenses for real estate broker and mortgage broker are usually the effect of the expensive housing market, rather than the cause
Yes, expensive! Boring, I can see where you are coming from, especially if you are not very outdoorsy. Rain, I’ve grown to love it so it’s not a problem for me but if you don’t, it can be depressing in the winter haha
@WonbaeSon yea rainy on the land, snow on the mountain in the winter. The weather was so weird I would recommend to you L.A. Not Vancouver. Trust me I lived in both places. L.A. is boring too but if you like western countries L.A. is the good choice too. Nice weather and vegetables, fruits, meats and gas... L.A. is cheaper than Vancouver
Nice video man. I just moved to Vancouver and I agree the diversity and food here is awesome
Thanks for watching!
I’m curious where did you come from and got did you choose Vancouver?
Great presentation.
Thank you.
Thank you for watching It means a lot to me! 🙏

I think you will love it honestly. it’s a beautiful place without a doubt Lots to see, lots to eat and do. Hope you enjoy your stay! 😃
@@WonbaeSon Thanks and will do and after that on to Montreal.
Amazing video, I am from Portugal and Vancouver is one of my favourity cities in the world. I hope one day i can live there. Big hug from Portugal.

Great video, I agree Vancouver is a great place but sooo expensive. Can't get ahead here, but gorgeous place to live.
I agree, rarely do people have anything left over at the end of the month 🙂↕️🤔
Vancouver is the 3rd largest city in Canada; Montreal is 2nd.
You are right, I realized after posting the video. Thanks for watching! :)
Same. I don’t think my future is here in Vancouver and I’ve been here for over 3yrs coming from Toronto. The expensive high cost of living is my breaking point and I’m just waiting for another tipping point for me to leaving Vancouver forever..
Definitely, it has me comparing our prices to other cities around the world and gets me thinking for sure haha 🤔🤔
Great video!
I appreciate you watching! If you have any topics you’d want to see in the future, please let me know :)
Vancouver is a beautiful city even the housing price is more important, because a lot of ppl want to move there . This make price higher .
I absolutely agree, there are so many people in the world that dream of living in Vancouver

The Asian food here is good but the Mexican food here is a disgrace

How would you compare lifestyle in Europe vs here? I’m planning to visit Europe shortly and am excited to see the difference

is it safe for solo travel Woman on Holiday
I would say generally yes, just watch out for specific areas such as downtown eastside. For most tourist destinations, there are many people around and it is generally safe
@@WonbaeSon whats weather in May Like
@@Jacqueline-l8pmay is great! Not too hot Anywhere from mid 10s to early 20s degrees
@@Jacqueline-l8p It's warm, definitely one of the nicer months in Vancouver. I'd say about 15-20 degrees Celsius maybe?
Great video about the amazing beautiful city.

Bro how are you wearing loafers at Buntzen Lake? 😂😂😂
I’m just built different to be frank
how tall are you bro?
I’m 5’8!
jobs?
Were you looking for an overview of the job market in Vancouver?
I stopped watching the moment you said you are a realtor. lol. Sorry you are part of the problem.
Sorry that you feel that way but in this video, I was purely speaking from my experience as a resident. Thank you for watching anyway :)
foreign buyers drive up the prices of property in Vancouver
you can't blame people for trying to live a life here. It's not like he sets the housing prices/
Well said, people getting their licenses for real estate broker and mortgage broker are usually the effect of the expensive housing market, rather than the cause

Vancouver Sucks ! F!CKING BORING, EXPENSIVE and Rainy all day.
