Selected in the second round of the OHL Priority Draft, McIver played three seasons for the Toronto St. Michael's Majors establishing himself as a stay-at-home defenceman. In his third and final season with Toronto, he recorded 26 points and appeared on the OHL's Third All-Star Team.

Drafted in the 2003 NHL Entry Draft, 254th overall, by the Vancouver Canucks, he made his professional debut in the American Hockey League in 2005-06 for the Manitoba Moose. In his second AHL season, McIver made his NHL debut with the Canucks, called up in lieu of injury trouble.[1] With more injuries on the Canucks' blueline in 2007-08, McIver appeared increasingly for Vancouver, playing in 17 games.
