On the Lower Mainland of British Columbia lies Vancouver, a stunning coastal city situated between the eastern Pacific Ocean and the North Shore Mountains. Indigenous people have been drawn to the region for thousands of years, and today its natural magic continues to enthrall tourists, newcomers, and long-time residents alike.

With a population of 2.6 million, the Greater Vancouver area is currently the third-largest metropolitan area in Canada. Densely populated and boasting one of the largest ports in the Americas, the city of Vancouver is a diverse and thriving metropolitan centre. In 2022 it secured 5th place (out of 173) in the Global Liveability Index's ranking of the world's most livable cities.

As a globally distinguished nucleus for business and finance, trade and commerce, tourism, media, natural resources, and arts and culture (to name a few), Vancouver is a natural magnet for newcomers. With roughly 50% of its population speaking a first language other than English or French, it's considered one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada.
