"When moving to Montreal, it is important to pack warm clothing, as the winters can be quite cold. A good winter coat, boots, hats, and gloves are essential. It is also important to bring a good umbrella, as Montreal is known for its rainy days. Additionally, it is a good idea to bring a few layers of clothing, as the weather can change quickly. It is also important to bring a valid passport and any other necessary documents. Finally, it is a good idea to bring some of your favorite items from home to make your new home feel more comfortable," remarked another expat in Montreal, Canada.
