Vancouver was founded in 1860 but its strategic ties to East Asia have seen it grow at a rapid rate to become one of the world’s most rapidly expanding cities. It is one of Canada’s largest industrial centres and its traditional industries are forestry, agriculture, mining and fishing. The service sector and film industry are also flourishing, as are biotechnology and software industries. Vancouver’s port, which is one of the busiest in the world, makes it a global city of opportunity and qualified expats should easily find vacancies in their chosen field in this thriving city.
