Montreal is where North America meets Europe. Centuries-old stone facades, traditional bistros, elegant boulevards, and a certain je ne sais quoi make Montreal's reputation as an Old World city manqué well-deserved. But this Francophone metropolis is no fossilized relic. When you travel to Montreal, step beyond the cobbled lanes of Vieux-Montréal, and you're surrounded by thoroughly of-the-moment buildings from the likes of I. M. Pei; innovative, globally inspired cuisine; boundary-pushing music from bands such as Arcade Fire and The Dears; and a dizzying blend of cultures that includes not just French and English but Italian, Chinese, and Caribbean. Montreal is proudly bilingual. There’s an abundance of English private schools at affordable rates.As for Ottawa, it’s Canada’s capital city, with a vibrant science and arts and cultural scene, with most of the country’s museums, similar to Washington DC. The cost of living in both those cities, including housing and private schools are inexpensive. There is free Medicare coverage and both those cities are very safe to raise a family. The costs of living to maintain a standard of life for Montreal is around 5300 CAD and for Ottawa is around 5900 CAD are very low compared to other cities in Canada, such as Toronto or Vancouver for example where that amount is near 6600 CAD and 7000 CAD respectively.
