I think Java is pretty popular anywhere but it wouldn't hurt to pick up another tool just in case. JavaScript is everywhere these days so investing a bit of time in that area would help.

I'd suggest trying to make contacts as soon as possible. I'm sure there are plenty of tech recruiters in Vancouver who would work with you. Canvasing LinkedIn for recruiters (and potentially companies themselves) and sending them an email like:

Hey I'm planning to move to Vancouver soon and am looking to line up a software development job when I get there. I'm a Java developer and I'm interested in x kind of work.

Even if you are feeling a bit unsure of yourself, just act confident as if you just expect there to be some good jobs for you. If you project confidence, the recruiters or companies will be interested in working with you.
