99% sure McNab is from the UK. Judging from his accent he grew up in or near London, England but his family is probably from Dundee originally given he supports Dundee FC.
He was always likely to be spending most of his time this summer in L1BC where ironically he probably was going to be with the Whitecaps. Think the question should be more what happens over the long winter break when Vancouver FC will be largely shuttered (assuming no CONCACAF involvement) and the Whitecaps academy will still very much be active. Can he sign for a VMSL or FVSL club if he is on a pro contract?
There doesn't appear to have been an issue with updating the Canadian Championship summary promptly on announced attendance when the CSA rather than CanPL is involved this time (suspect there may be a fine to be paid if they don't) :
Ottawa vs Valour - 2492

Forge vs York - 2471
https://canadasoccer.com/events/championship-match/?matchId=4788
Pacific vs TSS - 2161
https://canadasoccer.com/events/championship-match/?matchId=4787
The same comments about the Forge attendance in relation to Saturday's game are applicable again only with the far side from the camera being even more sparse this time, but worth noting that with Pacific that there is around 5200 in capacity visible in terms seats and bleachers visible from the main camera so the announced attendance number implies that should be 35 to 40% full even allowing for a few hundred people being on the now departed hydro pole side. Judge for yourselves how credible that is from the highlights:

I'm not saying he shouldn't earn his spot, but considering he left the Whitecaps organization in order to get playing time, it will be interesting to see what happens if he doesn't get it.
And yes, obviously it's very early. But Vancouver seems to have more depth than last year, and I suspect there's a bit more pressure to start "winning now".
And some of them have been forcibly retired. But that still doesn't mean Biello is the right guy for the job or that the remaining "troops" are going to listen to an inexperienced "general".
Always love having someone to cheer for in a competition like this.
And nice problems to have: a Scottish team of year player, a better than 1 in 3 man in the Championship and a couple MLS impact players vying for our backup spots at striker.
