    As Botolph shared, ANiC has a large presence in Vancouver.

    As far as continuum/realignment goes, there are several smaller associations but I am unfamiliar with them.

    What do the liturgies tend to be like in those four groups? Is it uniform within a body, or can it vary from parish to parish? Would it be more similar to the liturgy in more traditional Episcopal/other Ang. Communion churches, or more like a traditional Latin mass translated into English?

    My only experience is a high church Episcopal service once when I was a kid, so don't remember it well; an APA liturgy a handful of times; and an Ordinariate liturgy another handful.

    There are two main factors that influence that:
    1. Does the parish celebrate the BCP or the Missal?
    2. Can the priest chant?

    I suggest contacting the parish closest to you. I'm not a continuing Anglican (anymore) and in my past experience, the Anglican Missal was used.

    I attended General Convention last week and the host parish was Missal. A good number of the delegates had never seen a Missal mass before and were fairly confused. A couple that was sitting in front of me asked me where the celebrant was in the Prayer Book and I replied, "He's not even in the Prayer Book; he's using the Missal." I served as the deacon at the first service and everything was kind of 2 or 3 beats off to what my training was. I'm sure I made what they perceived as a mistake with the incense at some point.

    I love Catholic Anglicanism but I realize it's not really Anglicanism. A lot of it, like the independent sacramental movement, is clerical fantasies with things taken from Roman Catholicism, including ex-Catholics who switched so they could be priests and get married, not because of anything Cranmer or Hooker wrote. If you want real Anglicanism there's UECNA, for example.
