If you do a Google search for ROOMMATES + VANCOUVER, links to several websites that match people who are looking for apartment and house sharing arrangements come up.

Look into the classified section of www.surreyleader.com
South Surrey and White Rock are safer than the rest of Surrey.
Surrey does not have a good reputation in the lower mainland.
For short term, check out hostel websites.
Becareful and good luck, Yoong
