Toronto

Toronto offers strong potential returns in residential real estate, yet the appeal of this sector to local and overseas investors has pushed the cost of living to a level which may be challenging for some students. Toronto offers a social environment which feels very safe and is welcoming to international students, as manifested in the generous job-seeker visa for graduates.
