Culture, women, party, etc.
Is it true that people in Vancouver are unfriendly and rude? I also heard it can be difficult to settle there. As for Québecois, always nice to know another Canadian that doesn't dislike them.
Depends on the part of the city. North, West and parts of downtown you run into pretty much those unfriendly, snobbish types. And the outdoorsy, yoga, type crowd. East Vancouver, and the downtown eastside are where all the interesting people are, along with all the culture and art and good food and music and the like.
Vancouver Island, where I live, is a mix of hippies and rednecks, which is a bit of strange combination. A lot of retired Albertans that are super bigoted and xenophobic.
The Quebecois culture is the best in the country, by far.
I loved the time I spent in Quebec City and Montreal.

Mexico should be pretty interesting. Though I'd prefer Argentina, or pretty much any other Latinamerican country before that as well.
Yeah. Canada wouldn't be my first choice for a visit either if I was from elsewhere. Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Bolivia, amongst others would be preferred first.
We do get a lot of Australians here on the west coast. They love coming over here to live in Whistler and do the whole ski bum thing for a year or two. Apparently work visas are very easy to get for Australians coming to Canada to work at ski resorts.
