Reasons to move to Mississauga:
- Sandwiched between the neighbouring cities of Hamilton and Toronto, Mississauga is home a rich array of restaurants, shopping malls and points of cultural interest.
- Mississauga has been officially recognized as the safest city in Canada eight years in a row.
- With over 20 beautiful parks to visit, there is plenty of outdoor space for everyone to enjoy, including 400 kilometres of on-road bike lanes, multi-use trails, off-road trails and bike friendly roadways.
Mississauga is part of the Greater Golden Horseshoe Region on the shores of Lake Ontario and is Canada’s sixth largest city.
Historically it forms part of a residential suburb of neighbouring Toronto but in recent years has taken on greater recognition as an independent city and is an important industry base.
In a recent study Mississauga ranked fourth on a list of North America’s “large cities of the future and was remarked to be ‘A safe, smart place to live with a young family.”
This multicultural city welcomes thousands of expats from all over the world who are drawn to the low crime rate, diverse neighbourhoods and highly efficient public transport with lots of cycle paths.
If you’re looking for more predictable weather than its Canadian neighbours, then Mississauga might just be the place for you. The city’s proximity to Lake Ontario means temperatures are often cooler with warm summers in the 20s and mild winters that rarely fall below -6
Boasting beautiful trails and parks, along with a huge selection of vibrant restaurants and cultural events throughout the year, Mississauga is a highly sought-after location for both Canadians and expats alike.

Property
- Mississauga has a buoyant housing market with property values on the rise by 8& over last year.

Buying property in Canada is relatively straightforward process for expats and a viable option for those intending on living in the country long-term.
Canada has an open-door policy for foreign property ownership and affordability is a key driver because Canadian housing prices are generally lower than those in North America and many major European cities.
Whether you decide to rent for a while, or you intend to purchase a home, there is a neighbourhood for everyone in Mississauga. Families, young professionals, retirees and students are all catered for.
Now is a good time to buy a home in the city. Investors are finding that lettings and purchases are moving quickly and that there have been increases in both the cost of renting and house prices.
Square One is a popular neighbourhood in the heart of central Mississauga with an eclectic nightlife and low cost of living making it as popular destination for young professionals and students.
For relocating families looking for a neighbourhood close to the city centre but with good schools and leafy surrounds for children Lorne Park is the stand out.
This waterfront neighbourhood is full of quiet streets home to plenty of custom-built homes for those with deeply lined pockets and feels more like a village than a city neighbourhood.

Smaller classrooms are an important feature of such schools, allowing your child to receive a more dedicated learning experience with an emphasis on extracurricular activities as well as a balanced academic programme.
