Quebec City, Quebec
Quebec City is the second-biggest city in Quebec after Montreal. It’s more family-friendly and arguably closer to nature.
Why Quebec City?
- Quebec City is a big city with a small-town feel. It’s a great compromise if Montreal is too crowded for you.
- French speakers will find themselves at home, save for a few vocabulary differences. And if you want to work on your French-language skills, this is the place to be, since English takes the back seat.
- The cost of living is lower than in many major Canadian cities. Housing, transportation and entertainment are more affordable.
- Quebec City has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. It’s a lovely historic city with a distinctly European feel.
- It’s also a city close to nature with many parks and easy access to spectacular sites (Montmorency Falls, Jacques Cartier National Park…).
- There are some direct flights between Quebec City and Europe.
Just keep in mind that…
- The job market is less dynamic than in Montreal or Toronto, and strong French-language skills are pretty much a prerequisite.
- Winters are very cold and summers are very hot.
- Don’t expect vibrant nightlife and tons of activities—Quebec City is more laid-back and family-oriented than “fun.”
Remember that all Working Holiday permit holders must prove they have adequate insurance. We’ve been recommending Globe WHV insurance since 2005. They’ve already covered thousands of working holiday makers, to Canada and elsewhere.
