Minor correction: some people in Vancouver THINK the city is a supermodel. People who have spent any amount of time away from the place and with actual supermodels think Vancouver is a pretty place, but quite deluded.

I love Vancouver, but I also love rain. It is worth remembering that the most attractive aspect of this place internationally in many cases - the factor that would entice people to actually buy here - is the ease with which you can attain property AND citizenship (and its benefits). Sure, there are other nice factors. But those first ones are the prize.
