Montreal

Montreal is Quebec's metropolis and the arrival point for most newcomers. It is the largest city in the province: a vast and diversified job market, a dense public-transit network — metro, bus, REM — and a mosaic of neighbourhoods, from the Plateau to downtown to the residential boroughs. It is also a city where French and English meet in daily life. This section gathers the bilingual guides for settling in Montreal: finding housing and avoiding rental scams, getting around with the OPUS card, finding healthcare while waiting for RAMQ, and understanding waste collection. Whether you arrive alone, as a couple or with family, you will find every step explained one at a time.
