    Canada's western provinces (BC and Alberta) have been experiencing an economic boom for several years so you probably won't have much trouble finding a job. Vancouver is a beautiful city, but the cost of living can be quite high when it comes to renting or buying a home. If you're prepared for a lengthy commute there is more affordable housing to found out in the suburbs, but if you want to be close to the water and the action of downtown then you should be prepared to pay the price.

    You might also consider some parts of the BC interior, such as Kelowna or Kamloops. They're smaller cities so the culture is quite different and it might be harder for you to put your degree to work, but the environment is gorgeous, housing is much more affordable, crime is far less common and they're not nearly as rainy as Vancouver can be. In fact, both cities are in desert regions.

    Source(s): I have lived in BC for two years.

    Go to Vancouver if you can afford it. the suburbs suck btw, unless you have a family then move to north van or something..stay away from places like surrey even though they are cheaper.

    Dont go to the Interior..Boring.
