What to consider

From the big picture to the place you choose

Three provinces.
Three different rhythms of life.

The work location is only the starting point. Consider the city, housing, transport and your family's needs before you choose.

British Columbia

Capital:
Victoria
Main time zone:
Pacific Time

British Columbia borders the Pacific Ocean, with Victoria as its capital. Daily life differs between coastal, interior, northern and mountain communities. Assess a job alongside the actual city, commuting route, housing and services available to your household.
