How to get to Vancouver, BC

Flying Into the City

We recommend flying into Vancouver International Airport.

From there you can book an Uber/Lyft, ride public transportation or rent a car.

If you would like to take public transportation to the UBC campus, we recommend mapping to the UBC - Exchange. Check out this site if you want to see the route outlined.

Driving Into the City

If you’re driving over the boarder, make sure you budget in time for boarder patrol.

  • Average wait time is usually 5-30 min during non-peak hours.

  • The wait time can spike to about an hour around rush hour on weekdays between 3:00pm - 7:00pm.

Canada to United States

  • We’ve experienced a range of wait times. Usually it takes about 30 min, but we have had to wait up to 2 hours due to a gate delay.
