Overview

Toronto is Canada's largest city and a global hub for tech, finance, and culture. While it's one of the more expensive cities for digital nomads, it offers unparalleled professional networking opportunities, world-class infrastructure, and incredible diversity with over 200 ethnic groups.

Monthly budgets range from CAD 3,500-5,000+ ($2,600-$3,700 USD), pushing toward the higher end for comfortable living. The city's extensive coworking scene, excellent public transit (TTC), and Eastern Time zone make it ideal for working with North American clients.

Canada's Digital Nomad Visa allows remote workers to stay up to 6 months without a work permit, provided you work for a non-Canadian employer. Many successful nomads work summers in Toronto and winters elsewhere.
