1- About British Columbia

British Columbia, having the reputation for a high level of living standards (with Vancouver, one of the world’s significant cities for working and living) serves new immigrants with highly desirable economic and welfare facilities.
BC is one of the best places to establish new businesses providing unique business opportunities for entrepreneurs.
The cost of living in the province is expensive due to the high costs of housing but the average annual income is also at a very good level which is $32000.
