Living in Montréal

Montréal is a truly unique city – safe and clean, vibrant and diverse, with new things to discover around every corner. It is not surprising that The Financial Times put Montréal at the head of its top-ten “City of Dreams” list. With 1.8 million residents (3.6 million in the entire metropolitan region) Montréal is the 16th largest city in North America and the world’s second-largest French-speaking city. While the city’s official language is French, Montreal is easy to navigate for both English and French speakers.

Public education in the province of Quebec is free from kindergarten to Secondary 5 and after that, fees for pre-university college studies are low at the numerous colleges and CEGEPs in the Greater Montréal area.

With 11 institutions of higher learning in English or French, including 4 universities and 2 faculties of medicine, the city offers an unparalleled number of post-secondary education learning opportunities in almost every field of study. To assure accessible and quality health care services for its residents, Montréal counts 33 hospitals and two new super-hospitals. One has just recently opened in the Fall of 2015 and the other is currently under construction with a scheduled opening date in 2016.

Bilingualism is a part of Montréal’s strong cultural tradition added to the inspiring atmosphere of art, music, literature and innovative technology. The city is internationally renowned for its four major festivals: the International Jazz Festival, the Just for Laughs Festival, Les Francofolies, and the World Film Festival. All told, there are more than 17 festivals in Montréal each year. In the world of the performing arts, the city is home to many internationally renowned companies like the Montréal Symphony Orchestra, Les Grands Ballets Canadiens, the Opéra de Montréal and the Cirque du Soleil.

Montréal is beautiful throughout all four distinct seasons and the city offers residents an ideal environment

with both bustling city life and wide-open natural spaces. Even in the middle of winter, the city is incredibly active with cross-country skiing and tobogganing in Mont-Royal Park, and ice skating in one of the many outdoor rinks. In Montreal’s downtown area, the underground city makes it easy to keep warm while getting around. Montreal also has an extensive and accessible public transportation system with a network of busses and trains as well as Canada’s longest subway system.

Montréal not only boasts superb quality of life – it’s affordable, too. The combination of consumer prices, rents, municipal taxes and personal income tax rates make Montréal one of the least expensive cities on the continent.

Montreal’s leading economic sectors include finance, business services, telecommunications, aerospace, energy, education, life sciences and information technology. A number of Canada’s corporations are headquartered in Montréal.
