In the wake of The Great Resignation, the ability to work from home or anywhere is one of the most attractive employee perks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work From Home in Canada: One of the Best Countries for Remote Work<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that Canada is one of the best countries to work from home? But not all homes are equal. With the housing crisis and inflation, a lot of people are taking remote work to a whole new level. Instead of simply setting up their home office, they\u2019re taking it to new places where they can get the best of work, life, and play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s because of these factors that Toronto and Montreal were recently ranked among the top 10 cities globally for remote work. When all you need is fast and cheap internet from a reliable provider like Comwave, you can work virtually anywhere, coast to coast.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our guide to the top cities in Canada for working remotely. Find out how to work reliably with your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comwave.net\/residential\/internet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Comwave internet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and get moving.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Top Cities for Working from Home in Canada<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toronto and Montreal may have been globally ranked as the two of the best places for working remotely. In our guide, we\u2019ve compiled a definitive guide to finding the best cities in Canada for remote work based on affordability and availability of fast and reliable internet plans from trusted providers like Comwave.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Toronto, Ontario<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Canada\u2019s biggest and most popular city may not be the most affordable, but what it lacks in affordability per square footage it certainly makes up for in quality of life and various attractions. With WorkMotion\u2019s survey measuring liveability, happiness, cost of living, access to essential services, and compliance among companies in enabling remote work, it\u2019s no surprise that Toronto ranked 6th. Since it\u2019s Canada\u2019s most populated city, you can count on Toronto to have stable internet infrastructure, with access to fast and cheap plans.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Montreal, Quebec<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one Canadian city that could edge out Toronto in terms of being conducive to remote work, it would be this iconic French-Canadian metropolis. In fact, Montreal ranked 2nd in the same survey. The city scored better on the factors mentioned above, making it one of the best places around the world for working from home\u2014and the best in Canada!<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Brampton, Ontario<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of the major cities that compose the Greater Toronto Area, Brampton offers all the perks of city living and proximity to attractions, landmarks, transit systems, and other crucial amenities. This means you can also count on internet providers like Comwave to reliably service your home in Brampton, as with the rest of the GTA. With several major Canadian companies headquartered in this city and affordable housing, it offers one of the best work-from-home experiences.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>St. John, New Brunswick<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving away from Canada\u2019s most renowned cities, it\u2019s worth listing others that are sure to beat the two above in terms of affordability. St. John, for one, is not only known for being Canada\u2019s oldest incorporated city but also because it\u2019s a major port for cruise ships. This makes it one of the most beautiful and accessible cities to live in, with coastline views and milder weather than other cities in the Atlantic.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Red Deer, Alberta<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The halfway point between Calgary and Edmonton, Red Deer combines the best of both major Alberta cities, with more options for affordable housing. Known for its thriving agricultural sector, Red Deer is actually one of Canada\u2019s richest cities. That\u2019s why providers like Comwave are working fast to make faster internet speeds available to more homes at the cheapest prices.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Fredericton, New Brunswick<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another win for Atlantic Canada on our list! Fredericton is not only for history buffs and museum lovers, but it\u2019s for anyone who loves a vibrant atmosphere, craft breweries, hiking, and a lot more lifestyle perks. What could be a better setting for working from home than this? Fredericton is affordable on all fronts, from rent and cost of living to fast and cheap home internet.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Quebec City, Quebec<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the heart of the French-Canadian territory is Quebec City. It\u2019s as close to Europe as we can get to the North Pole, thanks to various heritage sites, cobblestone streets, and European architecture. Moreover, it\u2019s every Francophone\u2019s dream because it\u2019s the perfect place to live and work. Companies that require bilingual speakers are always looking to hire exceptional local talent. Plus, with benefits like <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.comwave.net\/residential\/blog\/working-from-home-7-ways-to-boost-your-internet-speed\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">working from home<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or a hybrid option, you can enjoy work-life balance in a city where your skills are in high demand.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>London, Ontario<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An up-and-coming city in Ontario\u2019s southwest region, London is a great place to live and work. It\u2019s close enough to Toronto but with enough distance from the nonstop hustle and bustle. Plus, it\u2019s a regional centre home to many Canadian companies, as well as attractions and festivals. If you want a city that\u2019s more laid back that still comes with all the perks of urban living, London is the place for you to find a home and work remotely.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Calgary, Alberta<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As one of Alberta\u2019s major cities, housing in Calgary may not be as cheap as in Red Deer, although it\u2019s still considerably more affordable than hotspots like Toronto and Vancouver. Calgary also has companies based there, along with lifestyle perks for sports fans and culture buffs. These factors make Calgary one of the best places for working from home. Plus, since it\u2019s also a major Canadian city, you can count on providers like Comwave to keep you connected with fast and reliable home internet.<\/span><b><\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Abbotsford, British Columbia<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abbotsford may be the lone BC city that made it to our list, but it\u2019s for a good reason. While the rest of the province is known for expensive housing, Abbotsford is one of the most affordable cities next to the Vancouver area. Its mild weather and location in the Fraser Valley make life here affordable. With more big city dwellers moving to its relatively affordable neighbourhoods, you can count on internet providers like Comwave to expand their services.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work from Home with Fast Comwave Internet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Does your job let you work remotely?
