If you have checked bags you may need to pick them up and recheck them in before clearing security again (FTers from YVR please correct me if this has been updated from last time I was there). In terms of connection time you've got plenty of time!
This is incorrect - do not follow these instructions.
When you arrive at YVR, follow the signs to International Connections. You will have a cursory passport check - no need to pick up any checked bags or go through security again since you are arriving from the US. Your connecting boarding pass should have OSS on it.
