Embark on a New Life in Victoria

As the capital of British Colombia, Victoria has a number of thriving industries, including banking, government administration, education, pharmaceuticals, and food products. The two major industries are tourism and technology, with a number of high-tech firms providing employment in engineering, architecture, and telecommunications. A number of theaters and opera houses in Victoria will keep culture-loving expats happy, along with a variety of music and arts festivals through the year. Several sports are well represented, with ice hockey, baseball, box lacrosse, soccer, and Canadian football keeping sports fans busy.
