Montreal and region, with a population of over three million, is a gateway to North America. A bilingual city where you'll hear French and English spoken everywhere, you will also find some 35 other languages spoken in its many well-established cultural communities.
The city's cosmopolitan flavour is a definite asset for multinational corporations. Sixty-five international organizations and more than one hundred and twenty financial centres are located here. Canada's aerospace capital, Montreal is also home to a large number of firms in bio-pharmaceuticals, information techno-
logy and communications.
With its vast green spaces and charming neighbourhoods, the exceptional quality of life comes with a surprisingly low price tag-one of the lowest costs of living in all of North America. Montreal offers a whirl of cultural and sports activities, summer and winter. There's no end to the bistros, pubs, restaurants, hip clubs and exciting discotheques, with something for every taste and every budget.
