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. 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. (www.numbeo.com).
Ottawa is 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.
Our team is headed by Prof S L Tan, internationally renowned IVF specialist and pioneer of IVM and oocyte vitrification with team members having achieved many Canadian and International firsts. Team members have published in leading journals including Nature, New England Journal of Medicine and the Lancet. Our scientific director is Prof Masa Kuwuyama, pioneer of oocyte vitrification and fertility preservation and inventor of cryotop and cryotech. Our embryology lab is run by a very experience embryology team whose members have directed major IVF centers in Canada and Internationally.
