In reply to Johann:
You will be able to find something to rent via Craigslist, but lots is lodging and houseshare in Squamish. On the other hand, you can buy something affordably there if you're not too fussy.
I know a lot of people who are trying to move to Squamish from the Vancouver area. Outdoor work is very competitive, and work in general can be hard to come by in Squamish. On the other hand, a lot of climbers live in Squamish and commute to Vancouver. It's quite a drive to do every day, but there is a lot of construction work in Vancouver if you just need something to pay the rent initially.
Good luck.
