Chilliwack VS London, UK

Hi people of Chilliwack,

I've been doing some research about moving to BC and so far I've looked into Abbotsford and Kelowna.

Currently in London, UK and looking to come to Canada. I'm looking at BC (previously lived in Toronto) for a slightly different lifestyle. We are a family of 4 (16y and 3y) and most likely by the time I move back in a few months time, Mrs may be pregnant.

Chilliwack is one of the area's we are looking at (I will post this in the other area subreddits too), I like the area and the location. I currently work in Real Estate and I am earning a good salary ~$160kcad. I will look to do something similar in BC or I can go back to my original career as a Scientist (albeit on a much lower salary but it will be OK in the beginning, I will bring 6 months worth of living costs with me). Edit: In Science, I was doing molecular biology/microbiology research working with mammalian cell culturing, DNA extraction/amplification etc.

A downside I see is the proximity of Chilliwack to Vancouver where I believe everything happens?

Is Chilliwack a good prospect for a Realtor or a Scientist? Are any of you realtors or scientists?

Thanks!
