It is of course a good idea to look at a map of the city you plan to move to before actually moving to it. . .

There are numerous municipalities south of Vancouver lining the border to the states.

My map just shows Vancouver and Abbotsford, Doesn't show surrey or anything, how far are they from vancouver, because i wanna go to school and don't drive yet x3

Use google maps, it'll show all these pesky townships. Also the whole not driving thing dosen't mesh well with locations close to the US as transit tends to get sparse out there, also where's school?

Hi Rave Fox,

In these situations it's best to give people more of an idea of the situation you are looking for.

What is your monthly budget? Do you have pets? Do you mind pets? Allergic to anything? Noisy hobby?

And maybe some general details about yourself would be good too!

Hope this helps.


Oh, and for some reason whenever someone mentions moving to Vancouver, the same "Move to this city instead!" topic comes up.

They are correct about Surrey being closer to the border, however.

Also, "Vancouver" means something different to people living here, as opposed to someone moving here from  faraway.  To a local, it means the City of Vancouver, whereas to non-locals, it usually means the Metro Vancouver area (formerly, the Greater Vancouver Regional District), or even the Fraser Valley or Lower Mainland.

So it's pointless arguing that Surrey is closer to the border, when the poster meant the Metro Vancouver area as a whole being close to the border.
