Fwiw, rent does seem a bit more expensive in Sydney than Vancouver (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Canada&city1=Vancouver&country2=Australia&city2=Sydney), though only by about 27%, so still in the same ballpark. It looks pretty similar comparing on Craigslist too (I’m also a Vancouverite). I acknowledge you’d need to pay substantially more than 220USD per person, if you weren’t splitting costs with a partner or room-mate.
