How much does it cost to live in Canada alone?
To live in Quebec City on a moderate budget, you'll need around $1,184/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($570), weekday lunches out ($292), weekend casual meals ($76), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($124), a monthly transit pass ($72), and a few taxi rides ($50). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
