🇨🇦 Canada
Toronto and Vancouver offer high livability, strong tech scenes, and English (plus French in parts of Canada). Costs run high by global nomad standards; long stays need visitor math or a real work/residence pathway.
Canada in short
We cover 2 cities in Canada. A mid-range solo month runs from about $3,000 in Toronto to about $3,100 in Vancouver (our planning estimates, method). No remote-work scheme for Canada is in the audited visa tracker yet, so plan around the ordinary visitor rules and check them with the official immigration authority before you book.

Sorted from cheapest. Monthly cost is a mid-range solo scenario in US dollars; housing is the accommodation line of the same scenario. Wifi and safety are planning figures, not measurements.
How this page is built: visa rows are read from the audited tracker, which links each figure to an official page and dates the check; city figures are editorial planning estimates (method). Rules change, so confirm with the authority before you apply. Researched from official immigration pages and the site's cost dataset.
