初到溫哥華?這份本地人指南是你需要的一切

This article is in Traditional Chinese. The English version is here. 你是初到溫哥華嗎?我們在這裡幫助你把這裡變成新家。 搬到另一個城市,更遑論搬到另一個國家,都是一件不容易的事。從收拾行李、處理各種文件,到幾乎要從零開始重建整個生活,許多新移民指南非但沒有幫上忙,反而讓你陷入簽證類別和房貸壓力測試這些複雜資訊當中,更加焦慮。這篇文章不一樣。這是一份由本地人撰寫的溫哥華新移民指南,專注於你抵達後最初幾週和幾個月裡真正會用到的資訊:如何在不多花錢的情況下購買日常用品、如何免費辦一張圖書證、公共交通系統到底怎麼運作、在這座以「難以打入圈子」著稱的城市裡如何結交朋友,以及在你安頓一切的同時,可以帶孩子做些什麼。 無論你是即將在UBC或SFU展開新學業的學生、為工作而舉家搬遷的家庭,或是剛剛移民加拿大、準備在大溫哥華地區落地生根的新移民,這份指南都涵蓋了能讓新城市真正開始有「家」的感覺的日常實用資訊。大溫哥華地區不僅包括溫哥華市本身,還包括本拿比(Burnaby)、列治文(Richmond)、素里(Surrey)、高貴林(Coquitlam)、蘭里(Langley)以及新西敏(New Westminster)和北岸地區,因此下文大部分內容適用於整個地區,而不僅僅是市中心。 如果你還沒有關注,歡迎收藏我們的活動日曆和地點目錄 —— 當你準備好開始探索這座城市時,這兩項資源會非常有用。 購物指南:超市、商場,以及如何真正省錢 對大多數新移民來說,溫哥華的超市購物一開始都會讓人摸不著頭緒,原因之一是有些「看起來不一樣」的連鎖超市,其實背後是同一兩家公司在經營。以下是簡要說明。 Loblaw旗下的折扣超市是省錢首選。 Real Canadian Superstore和No Frills都屬於Loblaw集團旗下,多項價格調查顯示,這兩個折扣品牌在低陸平原地區的同類商品價格上,明顯低於Safeway和Save-On-Foods。No Frills是精簡版本:門店較小、員工較少、購物袋需自備或另外收費,但價格始終是最實惠的。Superstore則是同一折扣策略下的大型門店版本,商品種類更豐富,設有PC Optimum積分計劃,通常還附設藥房和油站。 Save-On-Foods和Safeway走中間路線。 Save-On-Foods隸屬於BC本地的Pattison Food Group,主打本地種植的BC農產品,客戶服務口碑較好,第一次光顧時非常值得辦一張會員卡。Safeway(隸屬Sobeys/Empire集團)定位類似 —— 提供全方位的購物體驗,價格不算最低,但勝在可靠且門店遍佈各處。 **大統華(T&T Supermarket)**是購買亞洲食材、生鮮和熟食的首選,即使不作為日常超市,也非常值得專程一去 —— 單是熟食部,就足以成為每個溫哥華居民必經的「儀式」。 獨立及社區超市是最值得留意的「黑馬」。散佈在溫哥華東區和Commercial Drive一帶的小型超市,往往能以媲美大型連鎖店的價格,提供更新鮮、品質更高的農產品,而且沒有大賣場那種擁擠感。 超市 適合場景 價格水平 備註 No Frills / Superstore 日常必需品,大批量採購 $ Loblaw旗下折扣超市,可儲PC Optimum積分 Save-On-Foods / Safeway 全方位購物,本地BC產品
