I'm an ex-Singaporean living in Vancouver so here's the basics (as of Jan 2016)
1) Bill C36 was enacted last year and it basically adopts the Nordic model - ie the customer goes to jail, not the provider. But Vancouver police have publicly stated that Bill C36 is not a priority for enforcement, unless it's really egregious - undera*ge, trafficking, nonconsensual, etc

To date, I have not heard of any Bill C36 busts (provider/client) so far.
2) Don't waste your time with yellow pages escort agencies or streetwalkers here. Agencies are mostly tourist rip-offs and streetwalkers are extremely poor quality. There is no freelancer bar in Vancouver. Maybe you can try your luck at some of the hotel bars but not my scene at all.
3) There are some good massage parlors. They charge about C$50 for 45 mins and you pay the girl separately - usually about C$140. I can recommend BEX (close to downtown), Prosper City and New Star (a little far). Most of the staff is asian. BEX has some Caucasians.
4) The main resource is perb.cc - join up and read the forum. Quite active and if you go back about 2 weeks worth, you can start to build a list of potential girls to visit. When they review a girl, it's usually titled Ms XXX ####, where #### is the last 4 numbers of the girl's phone number.
5) To find their profile, you go to
http://www.leolist.cc/personals/fema...tro-vancouver/
and do a search for those #s. Note that 90% of the ads on leolist are bait and switch. Unless there's a review on perb, don't bother.
6) Most of the reviews are for incall service - so you go visit them. Outcall (they visit you) - usually add about $80 for transport.
7) As far as quality goes, there are a lot of Koreans working here. Prices are about C$180 for 45 mins. C$220 for an hour. Some of them are really lovely - Seoul car show worthy, I am not joking. Probably best value for money. We also get some Taiwanese and mainland chinese but they're mostly over the hill. $200 an hour and OK service though, mostly. Local caucasians charge about $250 an hour and there're some good ones out there. There is a high end agency (foxden.ca) with young Caucasians and they charge about C$325 an hour. (Hey - you only live once)
8) If you're planning a visit, make sure to come from April to September. October to March is lousy because it rains 90% of the time. And not rain like Singapore where it rains then disappears. Expect not to see the sky for 30 days during a Vancouver winter and it looks fucking dark grey for most of the day. Then the sun sets @ 4pm.
Alternatively, if you do come during the winter, then make the trip up to Whistler (2 hours away) for skiing (Ideally Jan-Mar)....one of the best ski resorts in the world.
If you come during the summer, then play some golf - we got some reallly nice golf courses here. (check out furry creeek). Vancouver is also a good base to go see the Rockies (Banff, Jasper, Golden etc). It's also a 2 hour drive to Seattle, where you can see the Boeing factory on the way. Also a very decent factory outlet (premium Tulalip) too.
