Working Holiday

VANCOUVER

Vancouver is the largest metropolitan area in Western Canada, and third largest in Canada, with a population of 2.4 million. Located at the south-western corner of the coastal province of British Columbia, it is well known for its majestic natural beauty, as it is nestled between the Coast Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. It is frequently ranked as one of the "best cities to live in" and is certainly a beautiful destination to visit. Vancouver is perhaps best known for its scenic beauty, and the opportunities afforded by its natural environment. It is one of those rare places where you could theoretically ski in the mountains, windsurf in the ocean, and play a round of golf all in the same day.
