Replying to Moving Help

hey guys this message goes out to the people in/around/ or knowledgeable of the Vancouver area. in a year or so me and a buddy are looking to move out to western CANADA. and i need to figure out where to live etc. and i was wondering if you guys could help me by telling me a little bit about what are good towns or places in the city areas to settle down.

basically we are looking for a small house or apt. doesnt have to be great. can be single bedroom. with around 700-900 a month ya know? utilities preferably included.

i also need to know exactly what it takes to move from the states to Canada like the citizenship stuff.

i posted this under regional too so any help is appreciated. just post or pm me.

THANKS!
