Relocation Services in Montreal, Done Right

For 28 years, we have guided families, professionals, and executives through every step of relocating to Montreal.

From neighbourhood orientation to settling in. We are with you every step of the way.

What our relocation service in Montreal includes

We accompany our clients from the very first question to the moment they feel genuinely settled. Our approach is personal, structured, and built entirely around your situation.

Moving to Montreal is a significant life event. Whether you are arriving from abroad, transferring from another Canadian city, or navigating a complex international assignment, the process involves far more than logistics. It involves choosing a neighbourhood that fits your family’s rhythm, understanding a school system with its own unique rules, navigating a province with its own language, culture, and legal framework, and making decisions quickly, often from a distance.

For 28 years, ARIANNE has been the team that walks alongside you through every one of those decisions. We accompany our clients from the very first question to the moment they feel genuinely settled.

Our clients are families, professionals, executives, and globally mobile individuals. What they share is a desire to make this transition well, not just quickly. We take the time to understand your situation, your priorities, and your family’s needs, and we build a programme around you.

We offer a full, white-glove relocation programme designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of moving to Montreal. Every service is delivered in person, by experienced specialists who know this city inside out.

Neighbourhood orientation and home search
We take you through Montreal’s neighbourhoods on foot, in person, and at your pace. We help you understand what each area looks and feels like, which schools are nearby, what daily life is like for a family like yours, and what properties realistically look like at your budget. We do not send you a list of links. We show you the city.

School guidance
Montreal’s school system is one of the most complex in North America. French public, English public, private bilingual and international programmes each have their own zoning, waitlists, and admission criteria. We explain it all clearly, help you understand which options apply to your children, and factor school access directly into your neighbourhood and housing decisions.

Home search support
Finding the right property in Montreal takes local knowledge. We help you identify the right areas, understand what to look for, avoid common pitfalls, and evaluate your options with confidence. For clients who are also purchasing, our certified real estate broker Manon Dumas (OACIQ) can accompany you through the full acquisition process.

Settling-in support
Arriving is only the beginning. We help you navigate the practical realities of life in Montreal, from setting up utilities and banking to understanding Quebec’s administrative requirements, finding healthcare, and connecting with the community. We make the unfamiliar feel manageable.

Intercultural and language guidance
Quebec has a distinct culture, a bilingual environment, and a set of social codes that take time to learn. We help you understand what to expect, how to navigate the French and English dynamic, and how to integrate smoothly and respectfully into your new community.

“Our move to Canada was our ninth relocation in 23 years and without a doubt the smoothest and happiest to date because of ARlANNE’s amazing professionalism and attention to detail. ARIANNE contacted me within 24 hours of our relocation confirmation to find out our concerns and needs which they began to address immediately. Their personal touch, fantastically human staff, and genuine care for every member of my family meant that all four of our children, my husband, and I had the happiest of arrivals and relocation to our new life in Montreal.”

“Thanks to ARIANNE and its competent and knowledgeable team, we were able to find a great home, the right schools for our children, and successfully cope with the local administration in its various forms. The services of ARIANNE were outstanding and made our transition from Germany to Canada smooth and enjoyable. This help was critical and ensured our very successful integration into Quebec. Thank you!”

Anniek Kindts Global Head of Combustible Brands - BAT

“Manon and her team at ARIANNE have helped me and my family move from England to Montreal and a second time within Montreal. Having moved around the globe many times before, I can categorically say that the support and personal service we received was exceptional. Manon and her team are not only expert in the technical aspects of an international move, they also know that this is a very emotional and stressful time for the executive and the family. The support received on both counts was timely, creative and seemed effortless. I warmly recommend Manon and ARIANNE as a top tier provider in their field.”
