Why More and More Canadians Are Choosing Morocco for a New Life ?
More and more Canadians are trading grey skies and daily stress for the blue light of Morocco. Between remote work, sunshine and genuine human warmth, the country is attracting a new generation seeking both freedom and connection, warmth in every sense of the word. Just a few hours from Montreal, Morocco offers something rare : a simpler, richer and deeply human way of life.
Living in Morocco means rediscovering what comfort really feels like. A coffee for less than one dollar, a full lunch for the price of a sandwich in Toronto and a spacious apartment in Rabat or Marrakech for a fraction of what you’d pay back home.
But beyond the numbers, it’s the quality of life that stands out : fresh produce from local markets, affordable household help, sunshine most of the year and an easy rhythm that feels almost forgotten elsewhere. Here, time expands. And that, in itself, is a kind of luxury.
“Here, people take the time to live — and to talk.” That phrase perfectly captures the Moroccan spirit. Mornings begin in the hum of local markets, the scent of spices mixing with the smell of warm bread. In cafés, conversations unfold slowly. Neighbours become friends. Morocco also offers incredible climate diversity : ocean breeze in Rabat, urban energy in Casablanca, golden light in Marrakech and cool mountain air in the Atlas. There’s truly a Morocco for every lifestyle.
Balancing modern life and deep-rooted tradition, Morocco achieves something few countries do. It offers stability, hospitality and a sense of authenticity that feels grounding. The medinas are alive with artisans, riads open like hidden treasures and daily life blends simplicity and elegance. For many Canadians, it’s a revelation : a slower life that feels more alive.
