Moving to Vancouver, Canada

Posted by Lori Henry Jul 23, 2008

It’s a big decision to pick up and move to another country, continent or city, but the folks at Explorer Publishing have been making it easy for ex-pats since their first guidebook was published in 1995.

Now it’s Vancouver’s turn. If you’ve visited this beautiful city and want to make a home here, you might find this book helpful. Hot off the press comes Vancouver Complete Residents’ Guide, a book in which I contributed. The chapters are thorough, detailed and have a local touch (all are written by residents themselves).

I’ve browsed through the entire guidebook and was impressed by the calibre of writing and quality of information written by my colleagues. My visiting friend from Sweden, with an interest in making the move to Vancouver, was equally impressed and scoured the book for hours.

On top of that, it looks great. It’s a classy book with top-notch photos and an easy to read layout. Most stores/attractions/restaurants are mapped out at the back of the book, making all recommendations crystal clear to find once you’ve arrived in the city.

If you’re looking for a place to stay, the laws on getting an entry visa, or where to find the hottest local designers, this guidebook has it all. And I’m not just saying that because I contributed to it: the wealth of information is astounding and will make your move so much easier.

You can buy Vancouver Complete Residents’ Guide from AMAZON.
