Every year, thousands of Canadians make the move to Ottawa
If you’re one of them, you’re not just relocating—you’re stepping into Canada’s capital city, where history, opportunity, and quality of life come together.
Maybe it’s for a new career, a change of pace, or to be closer to family. Whatever your reason, you’re about to arrive in a city where government, innovation, and culture intersect.
Ottawa isn’t just the seat of Canada’s government—it’s a hub for technology, education, and healthcare. With leading universities, research institutions, thriving tech companies, and a strong public service sector, it’s a city that opens doors.
And with welcoming neighborhoods, bilingual communities, and a balance of urban life and natural beauty, it’s easy to find your own place here.
This is your next chapter in Ottawa. Let’s make sure the move goes smoothly.
Ottawa is not just the nation’s administrative center—it’s a powerhouse of economic diversity.
Beyond work, Ottawa is a city rich in culture, history, and diversity. With English and French both widely spoken—and more than 100 other languages across its communities—you’ll find influences from around the world in its food, festivals, and neighborhoods. From skating on the Rideau Canal in winter to exploring ByWard Market’s restaurants and nightlife, Ottawa offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else.
Sports fans can cheer on the Ottawa Senators at Canadian Tire Centre or catch an Ottawa Redblacks game at TD Place. Art and history lovers can explore national museums like the National Gallery of Canada or the Canadian Museum of History just across the river. There’s never a shortage of things to do.
