I have heard that Vancouver was overflow office for large growing tech companies on the west coast. When they could not get the candidates H-1B status in the US they placed them in YVR. I know of a couple companies that had/have offices. Through friends that work at the companies the Canadian government became more exclusive about allowing tech workers into the country. This may explain a bit of the reluctance to interview you.
