Narrative:

On ILS 08R to yvr; tower told us we were 'number 1.' when I asked them to verify that we were cleared to land; they told us that [there] would be another aircraft departing before our arrival. Approximately 4 miles out; tower cleared the other aircraft for takeoff on the same runway. On short final; (approximately 2 miles) the aircraft began its takeoff roll. As we crossed the threshold; aircraft was airborne. Below 200 ft. RA; aircraft began to 'waffle' and first officer (first officer) called missed approach. It would appear that we were caught up in either jet blast or wake turbulence from the departing aircraft. Either way; there was doubt as to whether a safe landing could be made. Safely executed go-around and returned for another approach.on second approach; yvr tower did the exact same thing again! They cleared another aircraft for takeoff while we were on short final. Aircraft cleared the runway and we only caught a small amount of the wake/jet blast; but were able to land safely.spacing between departing aircraft and our aircraft was inadequate. Recommend more spacing between departing and arriving aircraft; especially enough time to allow jet blast/wake turbulence to dissipate.highly dangerous maneuver; in my opinion.

Title: E175 Captain reported executing a go-around from short final on approach to CYVR after encountering probable jet blast from an aircraft departing on the same runway.

Narrative: On ILS 08R to YVR; Tower told us we were 'number 1.' When I asked them to verify that we were cleared to land; they told us that [there] would be another aircraft departing before our arrival. Approximately 4 miles out; Tower cleared the other aircraft for takeoff on the same runway. On short final; (approximately 2 miles) the aircraft began its takeoff roll. As we crossed the threshold; aircraft was airborne. Below 200 ft. RA; aircraft began to 'waffle' and FO (First Officer) called missed approach. It would appear that we were caught up in either jet blast or wake turbulence from the departing aircraft. Either way; there was doubt as to whether a safe landing could be made.
