Vancouver Living Costs
It's possible to live comfortably in Vancouver for CAD$1000 per month. At CAD$700 per month, a VEC homestay would cover most of your basic expenses. Of course, it's also possible to spend much more. The information below will give you an idea of what you can expect. Transportation Costs in VancouverVancouver has a good public transit system. Most students use public transit. It is usually cheapest and easiest to buy a monthly pass. This pass will allow you to ride on all forms of transit, including buses, the SkyTrain, and the SeaBus. There are three transit zones. If you live in Zone 1, the monthly cost is CAD$81. Most students, however, live in Zone 2, which is CAD$110 per month. Entertainment Costs in VancouverIt typically costs up to CAD$20 for a ticket and snack at a movie theater. Major sports events and concerts can cost CAD$15 to CAD$60. There are a lot of fun free activities in Vancouver though, so you can probably have a good time for under CAD$200 per month. See our Vancouver activities pages for more detailed information. Food Costs in VancouverAll meals are included with VEC homestays. If you will be living in an apartment, you should plan to spend CAD$250 to CAD$300 per month for food. Medical Costs in VancouverYou will not have any expenses for emergency medical care, as long as you have good insurance. At CAD$60 per month, VEC medical insurance covers all normal costs, including prescription drugs and ambulances. Medical costs for uninsured visitors to Canada can be very expensive though. Consequently, it is important to have good medical insurance.
