About Vancouver

Vancouver: Ranked as One of the Most Beautiful and Livable Cities in the World.

INTRODUCTION

Vancouver is the city of choice if you choose to study in Canada. Set against a stunning backdrop on Canada’s west coast, Vancouver continuously ranks in the top five best cities in the world to live in. Vancouver is naturally beautiful, mild in climate and one of the safest cities in North America. It is known for its liberal outlook and career opportunities.

Nestled between snow-capped mountains and the Pacific Ocean, Vancouver offers the perfect blend of year-round outdoor activities and urban excitement. Relax on one of Vancouver’s many sandy beaches, wander through the boutique shops in historic Gastown or catch some air snowboarding or hiking on Grouse Mountain – in Vancouver there is something for everyone! There is no other city in the world like Vancouver, and VGC’s campuses are located right in the heart of it!
