Looking for a place to rent

Hello, to keep it short, i would like to move to Canada and need a place to rent. But most of all, it would be great for me to get to know someone in Canada to help me get settled in the country you know. I am most interested in Vancouver, is there anyone there that can rend a room or an apartment? thank you!

The Vancouver Sun is online- check the classifieds.

what does that mean?

Advertising in print- "houses to rent".

The Vancouver Sun is a newspaper. The classified section is a much more reliable way to find a place to rent (newspapers, Craigs list, Kijiji, etc.), than posting a request on a discussion forum is.

right, thanks!

Good luck with it.

I didn't know it was so political to find a place to live!

hence the location of the thread.. hehehe

Yeah, couldn't find a better place to post it. Oh by the way, if i wanna go there, work and all, do i need any permissions and papers? where can i find information about that? thanks all.

lol... thanks for pointing it out Chili. Carl, I hope you don't mind, I moved your thread to BC regional chat.

no problem at all, thank you

HIi Carl:
where are you from? maybe you do need papers. Am from mexico but am looking to move to canada to. the process for us mexicans is we do a test, then if we get enough points we go through a procees of background check, your record, your grades, all your life is analyzed by the canadian government and if they think your eligible you have to prove them you have a lot of money and maybe then you can move there as a resident.

i have found a lot of rooms and appartments in vancouvers craigslist even though am moving to edmonton i also started thinking to move to vancouver but edmonton is better for my plans.
good luck!!

Thank you, i am 18yrs old from sweden, is it the same process for us?

I'm sure there are resources in Sweden that can explain what the steps are for immigrating to a new country.

i believe that in europe the canadian embassy is in paris.
for tourist visa as european you dont need one (i am also spanish) but i believe that the process to have a resident visa is the same for everybody.
you either have a job offer or you qualify for the canadian standarts.
