People are moving into Montreal
I wasn’t aware that U-Haul gives out statistics on who’s moving where, but they do, and they say people were moving to Montreal at a higher rate in 2022 than in 2021. But people are also leaving at almost the same rate, so the population isn’t growing fast.

A lot of our influx and exodus don’t move with U-Hauls because the roads to France, Haiti and North-Africa are flooded all the time. I don’t know how many of those people will stay or leave to other places in Canada or Quebec, or back to their country of origin after their temp visa expires, but for Montreal it will definitely skew the statistics. A lot of them will move off island though.
(And U-Hauls are f*cking expensive for medium length moves where you can easily return the van to the original rental point.)
