Maybe you should do a little rudimentary Googling and research on Canadian geography before you ask some of these questions.
It's like the distance from Finland to the Turkey.
Yeah, but it's so much easier for me to ask from guys who live there. That's enough for me if I just get the answers in km's etc etc.
And I wouldn't go saying anything about my geography skills, so ..

Have still few questions ..
How long is trip from Van to the Niagara Falls City ? And what about Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park (moraine lake, etc) ?
What's the average climate in Vancouver at the mid summer ?
Sorry 'bout this asking, I just wanna be sure.
Vancouver to Niagara isn't close... 3500km's. Niagara is a two hour drive from Toronto. Vancouver to Banff is about a 10 hour drive I'd say.
Average Temperature in Vancouver is about 23 degrees. They have a great summer out there.. not too hot, not too cold. Toronto is much hotter by comparison.

Niagara Falls is in Ontario and is 127 KM from Toronto. Around 2 hours drive given the often heavy traffic in Ontario.
There are a lot of traffic jams in Toronto but if you are a student you will most likely be using the subway (metro) which is not bad for getting around the metropolitan city.
Vancouver to Niagara Fall is 4500 KM About 40 hours driving :P
Vancouver to the Rocky Mountains and Banff National Park (moraine lake, etc) is 10-15 hours driving and you will be basically right by Calgary. Vancouver has a good public transport system, the sky train was just expanded due to the Olympics. Vancouver has a lot of nice infrastructure due to the Olympics as well.
I prefer the Vancouver climate to the Toronto climate in the summer...actually year round.

The water in Toronto is just a lake, it's not very nice, not nearly as nice as the ocean. It's also hotter and drier and it is more expensive than Vancouver.
I'd do Vancouver personally, it'll also help out on the 'cost of living' aspect. Vancouver, while not cheap, is still less expensive than Toronto.
I don't know about the suburbs for both towns... but I'd say downtown (and Kits) in Vancouver is more expensive than anything Toronto has to offer (other than Yorkville/Forest Hill etc).
I guess it depends on what part of each respective town you're living in though.
EDIT: That picture of Vancouver is making me jealous. Nothing beats that Vancouver summer down by the sea-wall or on the patios in Kits/Coal Harbour.
Vancouver still has the more rainy days in the summer months then Toronto....If he is talking about average rain fall, well in doesn't really rain like it is now in Calgary or in Toronto...You can have more rain in Calgary in a few hours than 2 days of "rainy" days in Vancouver. Having lived for 4 summers in Vancouver, its either really nice, which it has been the last 2 summers or really bad which it was the previous 2 summers...nothing in between for me yet
I was talking about average rainfall, but in terms of days with rainfall in the summer months, Vancouver comes out on top as well:
Vancouver: 33.5
Toronto: 42.5
Hours of sunshine are almost identical, though Toronto is definitely warmer. Personally, I can't stand the humid summers that they have in the East. I'll take the 30-50% humidity of the West coast or the drier climate of Alberta any day of the week over what they get in Toronto and Montreal for the summer. I love hot weather, but not when it's sticky out.

I lived in Victoria, best weather in Canada no doubt, trumps Vancouver by a country mile.
Agreed. Victoria's climate simply blows Vancouver's out of the water.
press "get directions" on the upper left side of the screen
put destination 1 in first box, destination 2 in second box. It will tell you the distance in km and the time in driving.
Well this helps alot. Thank you.
And thanks for all who has answered. =)

So the swimming is automatically nicer in Vancouver, huh ? Are the beaches rocky or sand ? (sorry, sorry ..)

Come on, you're Finish, you should be able to drive that in half the time, with or without paved roads!
Beaches in Vancouver are sand, I know because my friend is paid to truck it in, the food in Vancouver is very good, lots of cheap or expensive resteraunts.
If you come here you can drive to the Oregon Coast or Long Beach/Tofino on Vancouver Island reasonably easily, it is also within traveling distance to San Fransisco and Seattle but you need access to a car etc.
I would pick Vancouver over Toronto as you can visit bigger, older more cultured cities in europe where as there is nothing like the mountains and the pacific.

That's true as all Finns are expert drivers. Check out their insane driving test: (1 min in)
The Following User Says Thank You to Hack&Lube For This Useful Post:
Pick Vancouver. You can take ferries to the islands around Vancouver. http://www.bcferries.com/ Go to Victoria and/or Tofino on Vancouver Island. To fly from Vancouver to Calgary is only an hour flight and sometimes can be pretty cheap (at least cheap to an adult, maybe not a 15 year old...)
Does anyone else on here find it bizarre that a 15 year old Finnish girl is lurking on Calgarypuck?
And why do I picture her looking like this : http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showpos...37&postcount=8
(PS, no. I'm not gay.)
About 40 hours driving :P
