The paperwork for buying in any such case may be more or less the same in BC. However these are very different reasons and what you buy, where you buy become very different. I would suggest to have an in person (or say on zoom nowadays due to Corona) would bring you more clarify in such things.
People who are born and brought up here in lower mainland already have established friends and other social life around the community they grew up. Naturally this is a major factor in choosing a location but it is also a constraint in the real estate market as it limit their choices. But for immigrant families, there is no such constraint as they are moving here new anyway. So I would be able to suggest couple of best neighborhoods across lower mainland considering their work, schools and social life and future possibilities/options. Afterwards, I will be happy to give my clients a tour of suggested neighborhoods across lower mainland to help them make an informed decision. A ordinary realtor focusing on a specific city or neighborhood will not be able to do this

While BC has one of the best public school systems in the world, there are lot of choices and options that fit specific kid’s needs and talents. Many immigrant families miss out of these options simply due to the lack of awareness of these available options. Almost every school has their special programs ranging from arts, science and technology and this varies by the school district of each city. For any immigrant family to find out all these could be daunting. Many simply rely of generic school rankings such as the fraser ranking system. While these rankings may be useful, they also do have an impact on real estate prices. Moreover they are not completely reliable. I work with parents to understand their kids and their aspirations and talent and help locate best schools, neighborhoods and school programs suitable for them
For many, home is not “home sweet home” but the medium for announcing to rest of the world that they are successful in the country. Peer pressure, pressure from relatives back in home country etc. and fuel this. While some can afford large houses and acreages, most new families cannot at least in their initial years. Once they bought something they can not afford, it still take many years to realize this trap. The entire family’s quality of life reduces while they silently suffer and entire family get stressed out.
