Re: Buying Real Estate in Montreal

My knowledge of real estate is limited, but $200K CAD won't get you a 2-bedroom flat in Old Montreal, certainly not any of the new builds/renovations. Other areas to try are Plateau, Mile End, McGill...

Re: Can we get a knowledge driving test done on Saturday??

Call them. They are back to regular opening hours now that the strike is ended, albeit temporarily. I exchanged my UK licence this week and could only do that Mon - Fri at their Sauve/Acadie office.

Re: driving in Canada.

Just for the record, the SAAQ in Quebec are on strike at the moment so if you're heading this direction that might affect the answer. More details on www.saaq.qc.ca

Re: Any expates in/going to, Qu颥c?

From what I can see Mile End is quite young with lots of students and young families. There's a lot of trendy cafe/bar type places and lots of thrift and other interesting shops. Rent is more...

Re: Any expates in/going to, Qu颥c?

DDO is the suburb where Bourbon Street West is. I would have to say my favourite areas of MTL are the Plateau, Mile End and even the Old Port. There is a lot more diversity... people, culture and...

Bourbon Street West is Dollard des Ormeaux. You should head east for a real taste of Montreal!

Re: Any expates in/going to, Québec?

I'm in Rosemont too at the moment. Quite like it round here and the rent is reasonable. It's key to be at most a block from the nearest JeanCoutu/Depanneur/greasy spoon/bus stop!
