What do I need to know before moving to Montreal?

When we asked people what advice they would give someone preparing to move to Montreal, they said...

"The most important thing is to ask advice from someone independent of the real estate sector. Real estate agents have a huge interest in selling you houses in the area they work and are rarely independent. Locals tend to be biased toward their own neighborhoods. The best advice will come from a relocation agent who is not tied to realtor who can show you all the good neighborhoods for a day, or ask other expats. TAKE YOUR TIME! Act in haste repent at leisure," remarked another expat in Montreal, Canada.

"Before moving to Montreal, expats should be aware of the city's four distinct seasons. Winters can be cold and snowy, while summers are hot and humid. Expats should also be aware of the city's two official languages, French and English, and the fact that most locals are bilingual. It is also important to note that Montreal is a very diverse city, with a large immigrant population. Expats should also be aware of the cost of living in Montreal, which is generally higher than in other Canadian cities. Finally, expats should be aware of the city's vibrant culture, with a wide range of festivals, events, and activities to enjoy," said a member in Montreal, Canada.
