Welcome to Canada. We’ll bridge you in.

Top student city in North America

Each year, some 185,000 students – including 25,000 international students from 150 countries – call Montréal home. Students make up an active part of Montréal’s population – first in line at cultural events, biking the city’s myriad cycle path system and grabbing some quiet study time in cafés.

Startup ecosystem

Montreal welcomes a huge startup ecosystem: a world-renowned AI cluster, specialized incubators, public support, a wide range of investors and easy access to the North America market.

Low cost of living

It costs less, on average, to operate a business in Greater Montréal than in any other large metropolitan region in Canada and the United States, without even counting the very attractive incentives that are available.
