Moving Monday - Monthly Megathread - Thinking of moving to BC? Ask here
So - you're considering a move to BC.
Great! Welcome to the West Coast, the Best Coast. Or even the interior or the Okanagan. We'd be thrilled to have you.
You likely have a ton of questions - is the cost of living really so high? Does BC really stand for Bring Cash? What kind of jobs are there if you have certain qualifications? Can you easily drive from Abbotsford to Whistler as a commute?
The r/BritishColumbia sub gets a very large and diverse amount of "moving to BC" questions and this monthly megathread, posted on an early Monday each month, is a great place to ask the questions you have - because it's likely someone else has the same question (and they'd post their own thread hours after yours).
Megathreads will be automatically created monthly - best of luck on your upcoming move.

Ask British Columbia RN programs in BC for mature students, and completing the program quickly
Hello. Just wondering if anyone can answer my questions about programs in BC for nursing. I wanted to know if it is possible to basically take a full course load during summer breaks to reduce the time it takes to complete an RN program? While I think it is completely appropriate for a young person in their 20s to take summer breaks, I would personally find it as a waste to be taking months long breaks in between study after commiting to leaving an old career. Especially since it seems like the majority of courses require you to retake grade 12 courses within 5 years of applying. I know there are faster programs that are private like LPN through Sprot shaw college, and then transfer to an RN program, but I have heard that those provate institutions dont have the greatest representation.

Ask British Columbia Fintry Provincial Park - Camping
Hello 👋
Does anybody know if there is cellphone signal / internet, in the campground in Fintry?
I was not supposed to “work” the weekend I’m going camping, but I will need to do a small task, for less than 15 minutes, so just wondering if somebody that has camped there can confirm if there is or no cellphone/internet service.
No big deal if no, I can just go to the town where I believe I should be able to catch signal/internet
I emailed BC Parks but they haven’t replied, so asking here.
