Cost of Living in Vancouver

but if you move to BC from the us.. my savings would go a longer way..with exchange rate of US to CA dollars.. no?
thinking about it....

I find PS5 is super expensive in Canada compare to most other countries in Asia! :(

This is definitely nonsense It's nowhere close to that I haven't paid that much for a liter of pop since I was in high school 20 years ago those are mid-90s prices guaranteed

Someone commented below the Chinese have high standards of work. I lived in China and this is 100% false. They have significantly lower quality of work, it’s second world for a reason. They might work slightly more time (fewer days off because holidays are expected to be made up) but the productivity is almost zero that’s part of the culture. It’s normal to sleep at work in China. Most employees just message each other all day long there is no actual work being done by anyone except the laborers (peasant class)

Regarding mortgage rates: 20-year fixed mortgage rates don't exist here. The numbers listed above are going to be way off accordingly. There is currently only one option for a 25-yr fixed at 8.75% (RBC). 10-year fixed is around 4%-4.5% as of Apr 2022.

In Kitsilano, Vancouver we pay ~100 CAD /mo for BC hydro (electricity), another ~100 CAD /mo for heating, then you have to add on the municipal taxes for garbage collection etc which takes us up to ~300 CAD /mo for all "basic" utilities. Another ~100 CAD for internet.

Vancouver is expensive!

Another thing to note: draft "pints" are rarely pint-sized in Vancouver. They're usually 16oz or even 14oz instead of 20oz.

I think that car insurance rates need to be added. Possibly under transportation. Decently higher in BC, particularly the greater vancouver area, than other places in Canada.
