Montréal is the largest city in Canada's Québec province. It’s set on an island in the Saint Lawrence River and named after Mt. Royal, the triple-peaked hill at its heart. Its boroughs, many of which were once independent cities, include neighbourhoods ranging from cobblestoned, French colonial Vieux-Montréal – with the Gothic Revival Notre-Dame Basilica at its centre – to bohemian Plateau.

Montreal, Canada's second-most populous city, has an old-world charm that encompasses history and modern culture. It is one of the most beautiful cities in Canada, boasting French-Canadian culture, architecture, tourist attractions, ski resorts, and a vibrant lifestyle.

Montreal is a vibrant city. It's full of culture, history, beautiful landmarks, and good people, and it's not overly expensive to live in.

French is the official language in Québec. Therefore, to become an active member of society and find work in Greater Montréal, you need to master it. That said, a knowledge of English can be an asset for some professions when job-hunting in Greater Montréal.

Montreal has a semi-continental climate with warm, humid summers and blistering cold winters. The harsh Canadian winters will likely be the biggest adjustment for expats moving to Montreal. Temperatures can drop to -4°F (-20°C), and it can feel even colder with the wind chill.
