Moving to Victoria

Living in Victoria
Victoria
Victoria, located on the Southern tip of Vancouver Island, is Western Canada’s oldest city and the capital of British Columbia. As such, it is home to the provincial legislature. Victoria has the mildest climate in Canada. It boasts a setting of ocean and mountain vistas and offers numerous economic, cultural and recreational opportunities. The Inner Harbour is the heart of Victoria and for many boaters is the gateway to the City of Gardens. Bordering the harbour are the Fairmont Empress hotel, the world-renowned Royal British Columbia Museum and the BC Parliament Buildings.
Vancouver Island is one of the most desirable places to settle and work in Canada – not only for its magnificent scenery and moderate climate but for its diverse culture, high standard of living, competitive wages, and more. Among the different areas to live on the island, visitors always recommend Victoria the most, and the main destination for those who want to relocate to British Columbia.
