Just coming from another city to Vancouver, I feel that it isn’t the friendliest place for people who didn’t spend most of their lives in Vancouver. It feels like a lot of them have known each other for years or longer and have fixed circles. You have to make an effort to make friends.

I think most people here are shy. They are friendly once you start talking to them.

No way. One of the friendliest cities and based on feedback from anyone I know who has visited at least once

Not friendly at all lol

SO surprising! I just moved here and found it to be far friendlier than where I was before. Kinda hard to believe this tbh

Oh wow. I am kind of surprised by that too. I really like living and working here. ANd everyone i know seems pretty happy too.

"where housing is unaffordable and the local residents are not so friendly" not related at all 😂

Moved here a year ago and I might be wrong since I'm new here, it really isn't the friendliest but it isn't the worst either. I have been to places much worse. It's a good thing to meet few kind people here who are now my friends.

I am not surprised with this data. People here are noticeably less-friendly than most. Just my own observation.

Not surprising to me. I came here from another city and it feels like locals have their friends from before and are not interested in getting new ones. The friends I made here are all expats as well.

Hi does anyone work at EY in BC? Willing to chat about what it’s like if I applied from the US?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
