I'd suggest perhaps shouting out to some of our known Canadian users, like lil or theadvancedapes. I really can't say that I know anything about renting in the various parts of Canada. Where will you be staying?

Calgary! lil theadvancedapes: see parent. Another thing, how expensive are real estate agents to get good, cheap rental? I don't want to be ripped off just because I'm not familiar there.

If you plan to be staying for a year, you should start looking close to the university right now. Public transit is not bad in Calgary. Find a place on the train line if not walking distance to the campus.

I'm not sure people use real estate agents so much when looking for a rental. A lot of people go to kijiji.com for listings.
