Canadian in Portugal

Portugal is a popular choice for Canadians looking to live in Europe. This is mainly due to lower living costs, more job and study opportunities, and the warm temperate weather.

The country offers attractive tax benefits and an immediate 5-year path to long-term residency, which can lead to citizenship opportunities. Although Portuguese is the official language, more than 60% of the population speaks English. There are also many Canadians living in Madeira, Lisbon, Porto, Braga, and other major cities, so you can expect to have company from back home.
