Hi everyone!

Now that I settled in Vancouver, BC. I want to check the poker rooms around the area, I live in Dunbar.

Could you tell me about your experiences, where is the easiest level and that kind of things?

Cheers.

Hello LP's it has been a long time since my last post, recently I have received the notice that I won a scholarship, so it is official I´m moving to Vancouver, BC.

I have a lot of things to know about the city, and how the living will be. I started searching for a good place to live in with my wife, of course I want to spend the less money I can in this area, knowing that Vancouver is a very expensive city, we would like save the most money we can.

Recently I called to an apartment which fits most of the things that we need for just 900 cad, and it's amazing, near to UBC which is the universty I will go.

The bad news, the apartment rate doesn't include wireless connection, I've been searching on internet and I saw a lot of companies, and I really don't know which ones are the most reliable, so if you can give me some tips, I will aprecciate it.

In the other hand, we need a cell phone provider, which one has the best cell phone plans?

Please think that we are new to the country, and our incomes are just for the basic stuff.

One last question!, Is it a good idea to bring our car?, some people who lived there tell us that in most of the cases we don't need it, is that true? please give me some tips!.

Thank you!

Hi guys, I am an industrial engineer, planning to study in Canada.

I will apply for the Mining Program of UBC, I realized that there are many Canadians on this blog, so I want to ask you, how much the living costs will be.

e.g

What's the budget needed to live in this city? (2 Adults)

University Costs would be covered by credit and little help of my parents.

Any advice will be very helpful, and I will be very glad to read them.

I am not planning on living with a lot of luxury, just the necessary to eat, sleep, internet, transport, living, Basic (Electricity, Heating, Water, Garbage, drink a beer once in a while lol.

I don´t know if I am skipping any important things that should be basic for living.

Cheers.
