Moving from Montreal to Vancouver, any advice welcome :)

Hi there!

I'm currently based in Montreal, but looking to move to Vancouver sometime around summer. I currently have an agent who submits me mostly in my city and toronto--but I know he has some reach in Vancouver as well.

I have heard that it takes years for new casting directors to know you, and its normal to have a slower time when transitioning into a new city.

I was just wondering if you were in my position what you do to put yourself in the best place possible?

Whether that be by looking for an agent based in vancouver, asking my current one to submit me more in the city, or anything :) I appreciate it.

Also for context I am non union, have been acting for almost two years now. In terms of credits, I've done about a dozen local short films, a few commercials, and then the biggest thing I have booked was a national commercial in toronto. I have also started getting auditions both union and non union feature films in the recent months.

Thank you and have a good day :)
