Yo man, you are living in the beautiful British Columbia, don't imagine you are still in Asia, wildlife in BC is abundant. They buildup community everywhere...Area around delta or shoreline you can see whole bunch of seabirds, in city you can realize the existance of racoons or coyotes, inland around lakes/cliffs you can see terrestrial birds like eagles, falcons..., in wetland you can see goose, ducks, sometime snakes or turtles, there are "tons" of opportunity you can find out the wildlife in the provincial park area...
Basically you have to do a bit study about the local terrain and climate, every season at specific location you can find out something very special waiting for you... . Internet helps you quite a bit, there are many discussion forums online about BC wildlife photography. One good place to visit is the GVRD website.
Just one thing be aware, stay away from carnivore, don't disturb them in purpose especially in cold season. They don't want to harm you unless they are hungry or mad...
I remember raccoons in stanley park...
and lots of squirrels at ubc when weather is warm
rabbits in minoru park (don't know if u would consider that as wild......)
Bird Sanctuary is a good start. There are so many birds in the sanctuary so you will be able to practice a lot. Other than that, as lo_pak said, wildlife is everywhere. Go camping in the summer, you will see some. Hiking would be another way to see some. And check forums and events. (Like the Eagle festival that I missed twice already)
