About
Laval is Quebec's third-largest city, on Île Jésus, just north of Montreal. It is a mainly residential, family-oriented city that combines large sectors such as Chomedey, Sainte-Rose, Vimont and Sainte-Dorothée. Three orange-line metro stations and the STL bus network connect it directly to Montreal, making it a popular choice for those who work in the metropolis but want more space. This section gathers the bilingual guides for settling in Laval: finding housing and choosing the right sector, combining the STL and the metro with the OPUS card, registering children for school, and enjoying parks and leisure. You will find every step explained one at a time.
