先到温哥华，抬头就见蓝天下的雪山，你会想至少这个国内没有，不会十分之十一的后悔。混不下去了再去多伦多不迟。初到多市的人都会说这里什么也没有，住着伤心。真的，心情很重要，不要一到就伤心才好。 -lindar(morning); 2001-2-17 (#26913@0)

谢谢morning，你的建议。你在哪个城市？ -josephww(Joe); 2001-2-19 (#27189@0)

我在温哥华，热烈欢迎你！ -lindar(morning); 2001-2-21 (#27723@0)

I am also considering if I should go Vancouver or Toronto, anyone in Vancouver could tell me if there are some trading companies? Appreciate your information. -purpleflower(purple); 2001-2-19 (#27205@0)

Hi, I plan to go to toronto from shenzhen in Apr too, Is there anybody may want to aacompany me ? I have been to Vancouver, it's a very pretty city with nice people. I still choose Toronto, because i think i might be the busy big city type, -jasminechn(jasmine99); 2001-2-19 {305} (#27279@0)

I have been to Vancouver, it's a very pretty city with nice people. I still choose Toronto, because i think i might be the busy big city type, esp after living in a city like shenzhen for several years.

i see. i am from shenzhen too. i am still hesitate between Van. and Torn, maybe you are right. -alexm(Alex min); 2001-2-19 (#27306@0)
Busy big city type! Well, you must be the talent. Yes, we thank the many Shenzhen gived us and trained us. Ok, anyone who have been in Ca. could tell us the details of difference between Vancouver and Toronto. Thanks in advance! -josephww(Joe); 2001-2-19 (#27309@0)

If you hate lengthy winter and snow (big, big snow, not the snow flakes), go Van -albxu(Yukon); 2001-3-19 (#34659@0)

温哥华气候好，美丽一点不错。但是享受这些对于一个新移民来说有解决温饱重要吗？ -ying2(ying2); 2001-2-20 {796} (#27363@0)
不象多伦多，卡尔加里等工业城市，温哥华只是个旅游城市，从这点来说，适合技术移民工作机会就少。加之由左翼的自由党执政苛捐杂税下来，又逼走不少business. BC的失业率高居全国前几名，大学也较西部少。

好在马上省选，自由党当选问题不大。但愿能让BC的经济有大的转机。

找工作IT业还是有不少机会，但和东部还是没法比的。我们公司在美国和加东都欣欣向荣的，温哥华这边在全国经济蓬勃发展的过去两年里连炒带跳走了一大半。也就是这半年才有点起色。

我觉得无论去哪个城市都可以，都要做好难找工作的充足的思想准备。英语口语一定要先过关。我的一个朋友的男友，原来在国内自己办公司，做Oracle数据库，过来找不到工作只在一个中国人开的计算机商店打工一月1600左右，口语练不了一呆就是一年后来公司关门没办法重新开始练英语，找工作。我的看法，尽早练好口语，如果国内有条件就在国内练。第一份工作很重要，尽量找到一个对积累经验有帮助的。

更正：执政的应该是左翼的新民主党 -ying2(ying2); 2001-2-20 (#27438@0)
请教温哥华朋友，如果广东话流利，大学毕业，英语交流一般，在那能有工作机会吗。如果对工作条件要求不高。 -lingdang(lingdang); 2001-2-20 (#27489@0)
thank you, Ai, let's think about those. -josephww(Joe); 2001-2-26 (#28641@0)

Thank you for your kind opinion. -josephww(Joe); 2001-2-26 (#28638@0)

我也是深圳的,想请教你,带着大包小包的如何方便过香港? -guest:guesy; 2001-2-21 (#27714@0)

我在香港过境很多次，最好的办法是：从皇岗出关，乘坐直通香港机场的大巴。票价HKD120-130/人。另外东华假日酒店也有直通香港机场的巴士。 -josephww(Joe); 2001-2-26 (#28637@0)

你的信息很重要，我也想从皇岗走。谢了 -ally(帮忙); 2001-2-26 (#28659@0)

Vancouver and Shenzhen -guest:shenzhen; 2001-3-18 {674} (#34232@0)

如果要把 Vancouver 和 Shenzhen 相比，这里可能连宝安还不错，当然空气的清新和不算太热的夏天除外！没有深圳的高楼，没有深圳的繁华，没有深圳居住的舒适和宽敞，甚至马路、交通也比不上深圳，没有那么多活蹦乱跳的鱼虾吃，也没有让人馋得流口水的野味和蛇，更不能提那丰富多彩娱乐生活，就是温哥华最引以骄傲的绿都不如深圳的多，如果再
提起做生意赚钱，那就更让人失望 .......

有一点钱的深圳人抱着座移民监的念头，带着够三年的开销的钱还是来熬吧 ........

真的怀念在深圳的日子！

sorry, it is not true, don't mix up with your personal feeling, it is unfair to others. by the way, ShenZhen is not something to be missed in Canada. -juliancanery(julian); 2001-3-18 (#34397@0)

真的吗？那就告诉你一样，数数这里可以吃到的活鱼就行啦！相信你好久都没有喝到小黑鲫鱼汤了吧？ -guest:shenzhen; 2001-3-20 (#34968@0)

我更加喜欢温哥华 -seilings(bug); 2001-3-19 {114} (#34666@0)
我在深圳中心市住了9年，深圳确实是个好城市。
但还是喜欢温哥华，在我们的心里，现在深圳值得我们怀念的只剩下美食了。

我住了 15 年，就冲着深圳的美食我们是不是该回去一趟？还有深圳的 B股呢？ -guest:shenzhen; 2001-3-20 (#34971@0)

I thought this guy got lost by his personal situation. Compared to Vancouver, Shenzhen has little advantage. -wins(wins); 2001-3-19 (#34711@0)
I always think that Vancouver would be the perfect living place if I could find the same job in Vancouver as in Ottawa. -wins(wins); 2001-3-19 (#34713@0)

You will if you like , I am pretty sure, don't you? -juliancanery(julian); 2001-3-20 (#34903@0)

Be strongly against what you say! -linglingdx(lingling); 2001-3-20 {1014} (#34936@0)
I think some people will be a little extreme when they are overwhelmed by the feeling of nostalgia.In my view, shenzhen is certainly a good city in China, especially after being elaborately cultivated as a window to present the achievement of the reform of China. But expect for some external changes about city vision, there are no any internal changes on security, polity and so on.
I have no inclination to debase shenzhen and any other cities in our homeland. But I feel there are indeed lots of facets that shenzhen cannot compare beauty with Vancouver.You cannot clean your house once a month in shenzhen as in Vancouver. You cannot cross the road regardless of the running cars in shenzhen as in Vancouver.You don't dare to live in a house withour a fence of wire netting on your balcony in shenzhen as in Vancouver, right?I am sure you will say you miss Vancouver so much when you go back to shenzhen.So,don't always think shenzhen is better than Vancouver,although I do wish it will be in the futher.

Agree with you,Lingling. -wutengfang(Terence); 2001-3-23 (#36453@0)

Only my opinion, I think more young professional from mainland choose to go to toronto, But many Cantonese ( since early generation ) choose Vancouver. Because most people believe there are more opportunity in toronto.
