The first job listings for Pixar's future studio in Vancouver, British Columbia have appeared on the web (here and here) at two independent websites (they're not yet posted on the careers page at Pixar.com).The positions Pixar is seeking to fill are Manager of Information Systems, Production Manager, and Layout Artist. The Production Manager will report to the general manager of the Vancouver studio and their producer in Emeryille.
Each of the listings term the satellite studio Pixar Canada, a "wholly-owned subsidiary of Pixar Animation Studios". As we've known since the project was announced, "the Vancouver studio will produce short-form animation focusing on legacy Pixar characters from films such as Toy Story and Cars".
A well-placed source confirms that the new campus will be up and running "sometime in 2010".

Every bit of news about this is simultaneously exciting and excruciating -- exciting because I live in Vancouver, excruciating because I'm 18 and can't work there!!! lol
I love how you took the image of Mike from their site and used it - perfect for the topic at hand. It's this one, right? http://www.pixar.com/companyinfo/images/nav_jobs_char.jpg
Anyway, if Wikipedia hasn't said something about this by now, then BY GOLLY I'm going to find sources to cite and get 'er done!
(Please note that I do not talk like this/Mater in real life.)
Pixar Vancouver here I come!
