Strategic location

Montréal occupies a strategic location on one of the world's greatest rivers and is a key air, rail, and maritime transportation gateway to the heart of North America.

Montréal offers strategic access to the United Nations and its subsidiaries in New York, and to key institutions in Washington, both about one  hour away by air. Similarly, Montréal’s links with key European centres are efficient and well developed. Three hours ahead of Los Angeles and just six hours behind Amsterdam and Geneva, Montréal offers sufficient work-hour overlap to permit efficient collaboration across North America and with Europe as well.

In fact, accessibility is a key Montréal advantage. Montréal-Trudeau airport is 15 minutes from the city centre and offers direct passenger service to more than 100 airports worldwide.
