I was browsing Craigslist today and came across this post. It indicates that Apple is hiring staff for their new Apple Store in the Pacific Centre mall, downtown Vancouver. Woohoo! It's about time (assuming it's not a fake post) I live only 3 blocks away, which is both a good and a bad thing (mostly bad for my wallet).
Update: I confirmed it on the Apple Jobs site. Choose Mac Genius and then work your way through to Vancouver BC and you'll see the Pacific Centre posting.
