I'd say $750-1000 CAD is per month is on the low end. In general I find that renting near the train system is about $1200-1300 CAD for 1 bedroom, but that's on eastmost side of the city which is about 15-20 mins out of downtown (by train). Average dev salaries are maybe 60k CAD?
This article and thread hits pretty hard for me. I was born in Vancouver and I'm getting pretty worried that Canadian salaries aren't enough to live in Canadian city. To any of you living in Vancouver and working remotely, do you have any advice for getting into that?
