I would agree. Montreal has relatively good infrastructure and also good housing options for families and singles alike. It’s small compared to these tier 1 cities in Western Europe but it’s great, people are nice and are bilingual.
The winters are extremely cold but if you don’t mind that it’s fine. Not sure about the salaries but I hear they are lower but so is the cost of living.
- sonnyblarney 8y ago"It’s small compared to these tier 1 cities in Western Europe" Only London and Paris are much bigger. Mtl is about 4 million people, it's almost the same size as Madrid or Berlin or Barca. A little smaller than Amsterdam but really bigger than most else. But it's tier 2 size in North America, but a strong tier 2. It's really weird how people in NA don't know about Montreal. It kills most places for culture.
- raverbashing 8y agoI agree with GP's assessment of Mtl, just wanting to make a point on the size. Montreal metro is 4 million. But Montreal has a special dynamic, by fact of being an island. It's not as well connected as Manhattam. So there are two "bumps", one north and one south (Montreal has its own definition of North/South, btw)
- sonnyblarney 8y agoIt's as well connected. Also, the 'division' is not geographic, it's cultural. East Montreal is French, West is English and it's bizarre how little social crossing there is. I live among the French and they don't even know about major things happening in the West Side.
- raverbashing 8y agoI'm saying the island is not well connected with the South/North side It will get better when they build the new bridge though
