Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

That is a fair comment. You are right, if people like the way their city is, who am I to say it should be different. It just wasn't the city for me. Different strokes for different folks etc. :)

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

This is a bit of a cop out imo. Many North American cities that are no older than Vancouver can compete with European cities on nightlife and in many areas of culture (music/theatre/museums etc.)....

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Re: Review of Vancouver after 18 months

Good point. I found that the people who got super defensive when someone criticised Vancouver were by in large people who had never lived outside BC/Alberta. Most Canadians who have lived in other...

Re: Any Green Card experts out there?

Yes. My feeling at the time was that the whole thing was a bit of a farce, a "for show" exercise one has to go through to get the LC. That said my company was genuinely finding it hard to recruit...
