Armstrong, 32, was a free agent after helping Southampton FC earn a promotion to the Premier League.
Signed through 2026, he joins countryman Ryan Gauld and Paraguay's Andres Cubas as Vancouver's DPs.
"He is a player who has excelled for many years at the highest levels in the United Kingdom, as well as internationally with Scotland. He brings experience, tactical awareness, positional flexibility, and a very high work rate," Whitecaps sporting director Axel Schuster said.
"In addition, his passing range and elite chance creation from the midfield position will add another dimension to our team's overall attack."
Armstrong tallied 74 goals and 75 assists in 508 professional matches with Scotland's Dundee United (2010-15) and Celtic (2015-18) and England's Southampton (2018-24). Internationally, he has five goals in 51 caps with Scotland.
