City guides

Where are you headed?

Orientation guides for the cities we cover — transit, neighbourhoods, budget planning, and first-week checklists.

Canada's largest French-speaking city — vibrant, affordable for a major metro, and very newcomer-friendly.

Canada's bilingual capital — safe, green, and government/tech focused, just across the river from Gatineau.

Across the river from Ottawa — French-speaking, more affordable, with quick access to the capital's jobs.

Historic, safe, and deeply French-speaking — a calmer capital with strong quality of life.

A mid-sized riverside city between Montreal and Quebec City — affordable and welcoming.

A large suburban city just north of Montreal — more space, good for families, connected by metro.

On Montreal's South Shore — residential, metro-connected, and family-friendly.

A university city in the Eastern Townships — affordable, green, and student-friendly.
