Vancouver Local Tools: Deals, Driving, Settling, City Life
Twelve flat tabs is an app demo. Traffic comes from pages that answer one search each, then point to the next useful thing. These four clusters are that map — every link is a live FanVancouver URL.

Honest neighbourhood context — not a crime heatmap toy.
First time here
The short version of the city.
We do not sell a $4.99 Premium tier, SMS gas alerts, or an AI tenancy lawyer. This site’s job is honest local pages that Google can rank.
FAQ
Why isn't this a React app with Premium $4.99/mo?
fanvancouver.com is a static, AdSense-funded guide. A Stripe paywall, a Gemini lawyer and a mock live fuel radar would fight the thing that already earns. The tools are free; the facts are in JSON; cron rebuilds them.
Where is the CRS / BC PNP calculator?
Not here. Draw scores move every week and we are not IRCC. Use the official Express Entry CRS tool. LMIA postings: the Job Bank radar. Jobs and cost-of-living are the pages we can stand behind.
Prices on this page are estimates for planning and can change — check the operator, venue or booking site before you pay.
