It doesn't cost that much actually; once I find a permanent place and buy groceries etc. I can live off maybe $600-$700/month. The issue is really just that I need money last-minute.

Recently vacationed and stopped in Vancouver, plus have family that are Canadian. BC in general, and Vancouver in specific is expensive compared to places in the eastern part of Canada. It's primarily, as I understand it, a touristy area, which drives up cost in most cases. I wasn't there long, but it did seem a bit pricy from my admittedly limited perspective. Of course, that also depends on where you are from/what you are used to!
