Hi. I have just finished university and am looking to hopefully move to Vancouver/British Columbia. I dont no much about emigrating at all so was wondering if anyone could help me? What is the best way to start the process, is it easier to get a visa first and then look for jobs/places to live or should i be looking for jobs first? sorry these may seem like very simple questions but i could not really find the answers to them anywhere else? Thanks to anyone that may be able to help

Your best bet is to grab a cuppa and start reading the Wiki (on blue bar at top of page). That will tell you all you need to know about immigration/visas for Canada and a lot of other stuff besides!
Sounds to me as though your best bet is Bunac though (assuming you are under 30), just Google it. That will give you a years open work permit so you can get that and then go over and find a job. For most other visas you will require a job first - not easy if you are foreign, have only just graduated and are up against all the Canadians out of work in the recession. So Bunac is definitely your easiest option.
Good luck, feel free to ask any questions about whichever visa you think you'll go for once you've read the Wiki.
