Dear All,

I am from Chennai, India. Planning to move to Vancouver with my family shortly!

Can anyone please help me with the details of apartments (for rent) where Indian community is largely prevalent, especially in Vancouver City or Richmond/Surrey/Burnaby? Which area is more suitable to start living with? Any websites for job opportunities?

Thanks,
Raamzee

Hi ,
Welcome to Vancouver. I am also from Chennai Presently in Seattle. However my family is in Vancouver. I have apartment in South Vancouver.

Most of Indians reside in Burnaby/Surrey where rent is reasonable.

Bythe way when are you landing.

Normally I will be in Vancouver during weekends.

Recently I moved from LA to Seattle.

I am on IT (Quality Assurance). I come to Vancouver in week ends.

Hi Monk,
Can you give an idea on the costs in Vancouver.
To be more specific
How much is the rent for a two bedroom apartment in Burnbay?
Estimated Grocrery cost per month?
Car Insurance per month?

Also do you know the % of taxes you have to pay from your salary?

This will help people like me estimate the average salary one should earn incase they wish to move to Vancouver
