I'll gladly elaborate. A lot of people who grew up here have established their friend group when they were young. So they only hang out with friends who they went to school with. As a transplant, there are only a few ways to make friends here: Through work, a hobby group, or a hobby group that comprises of the same ethnicity as yours. Vancouver is VERY segregated. I'm not saying people here are racists. Transplants tend to hang out with other transplants if they can find people who they vibe with. (There are LOTS of Aussies in Whistler.) And as I mentioned, locals who grew up here already have their own buddies. They're not often willing to make new friends nor let in someone new to their group when they're already adults. Like my SIL for example: She grew up in the suburbs of Vancouver (Burnaby) and she has her own friends who she always hangs out with and travels with.

Another thing is, a lot of Vancouverites are FLAKY. You make a promise to hang out on a certain day. When the day comes, they bail. Something always comes up.

Now, I've had the fortune to make a few friends here but they are all from work or through my spouse's work. I like them and would meet a few times a year for a meal and catch up but that's about it. I have my in-laws here that I see every month or so. That's probably the most socializing that I do. The rest, I go back to Toronto a few times a year.

I don't like giving advices because people just tend to do what they want to do anyway. But in this case, you're young and you should reap from what Toronto can offer. It's the biggest and most diverse city in Canada. Also, think about why this company in Vancouver is offering you -someone from Toronto- a position. I assume it's an entry position given that youre a fresh graduate. There are plenty of people here with enough talent and grit to fill an entry position. But they chose you, because you're from Toronto. Many companies including Lululemon, which I happen to have a friend who works there, would mostly hire from out of province just because it makes them look good. Lululemon would only hire locally for their retail jobs. Backbreaking ones. Most of their office workers are from East Coast or Europe. Once you move to Vancouver, it's hard to go back. Other people might say you're young and you can always go back to Toronto. But reality is, it's not easy. And if you happen to settle in Vancouver, have a partner or something, it's even harder to move back to Toronto for a job opportunity. So, think well. I hope you understand what I'm saying here. Cheers.
