How important is it to be fluent in English to work in public relations here in Vancouver?
In a word, vital. PR practitioners are in the business of communication, so you must be fluent in both written and spoken English to work in Vancouver’s PR industry. Many positions will require far more than simply fluency. That said, a number of PR positions involve working with specific ethnic markets and communities, in which case fluency in other languages as well may be an asset, or even required.
