Hi Stuntmonkey
I've been living in the Vancouver area for close to 2 years now (I'm originally from New Zealand), on the youth worker holiday program. I have applied for
PR, which will allow me to stay permanently.
Also, I'm currently working for one of the major telcos.
So with that all said, I would suggest contacting Teksystems.ca regarding a job as they're one of the bigger recruiting companies that have good inroads with the telcos.
As far as where to live? Vancouver has a lot of different areas to rent or buy a place, with the great public transit system you can live in cheaper areas but be within 30-40 minutes of downtown by skytrain.
Let me know if you have any other questions and sorry about the late reply.

I'm 21, and have done the whole OE thing before, but its different this time with moving completely. I'm in telecommunications/IT - more so telecoms as of late but would love to get back into IT. Even entry level sort of thing would be great.
Obviously i'll be needing and apartment/flat, bank account/tax number and most importantly a cellphone provider! Now i'm half deaf so calls are pretty much the last thing on my mind, mainly data/texting.
Any help would be great, specially re: areas to live!
