Cost of Living

Quality of Life at an Affordable Price
One of Montréal's most valuable assets is its low cost of living. Compared to other major world metropolises, the cost of living in Montréal is among the lowest. Housing is readily available at competitive prices, purchasing power in the region is high, a first-rate public school system offers quality education from elementary to college at no cost and the public healthcare system guarantees access to free medical care for all Québec residents.

Foreign workers who settle in Montréal may also benefit from these services. From a fiscal standpoint, they are entitled to the same personal exemptions that apply to Québec taxpayers, as well as to exemptions in respect of taxes paid abroad. In addition, foreign researchers and experts who conduct research and development in a company are entitled to a five-year tax holiday on provincial income taxes.

Discover an unrivalled quality of life in Montréal. You can't afford not to !
