This was my experience as well (3 years ago, so it could have changed since). Coming from north of Vancouver towards Victoria. No suggested routing, no suggested controller to contact, just "remain clear". And I don't recall the frequency being that busy. Something as simple as "remain clear, suggest east/west route, with tower xxx" would have been infinitely more helpful. Once I explained I was unfamiliar with the area the controllers were helpful. It was certainly a different response than you get in YYZ.rookiepilot wrote:When I was in YVR a few years ago, and wanted service (meaning traffic, or even a recommended routing, not being that familiar, and crossing a prime training area ) to transit Abbotsford to Pitt meadows (staying outside the class C) the response was, even though they could clearly see and hear me, was a curt "stay clear of the airspace". That's it, in an extremely busy terminal area below the floor of the class C, like where we get service in YYZ.
