The cost of accommodation in Canada varies by city and vacancy rates are a key driver of costs. Housing costs are usually the largest portion of a monthly budget, and if you’re a newcomer to Canada, it\u2019s helpful to understand what determines accommodation costs. With this knowledge, you can decide where you want to live and how much you can afford. Other factors that affect the accommodation costs include location, type of housing<\/a>, and size.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What Does Vacancy Rate Mean?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In Canada, the vacancy rate refers to the housing supply and the occupancy rate refers to the housing demand. Though the answer is subjective, a healthy vacancy is considered to be around 3% in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC)<\/a> conducts the Rental Market Survey (RMS) annually in urban areas with populations of 10,000 or more. The RMS estimates the strength of the rental market. The survey targets privately rented structures with at least three rental units, that have been on the market for at least three months.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CMHC also conducts the Condominium Apartment Survey (CAS) annually in September to estimate the strength of the condominium apartment rental market. The cities covered in this survey are Calgary<\/a>, Edmonton<\/a>, Gatineau, Halifax<\/a>, Hamilton<\/a>, Kelowna, Kitchener<\/a>, London<\/a>, Montr\u00e9al, Ottawa<\/a>, Regina<\/a>, Saskatoon, Toronto<\/a>, Vancouver<\/a>, Victoria, and Winnipeg<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How Vacancy Rates Affect the Cost of Accommodation in Canada<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

A vacancy rate of two percent or lower means there is greater competition among prospective tenants as they vie for fewer vacant rental properties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
VACANCY RATE<\/th>WHAT IT MEANS<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
Less than 2%<\/td>– High demand with a limited housing supply
– Drives rental cost higher
<\/td><\/tr>
3%<\/td>– Healthy balance between housing supply and demand<\/td><\/tr>
Greater than 3%<\/td>– High supply with low demand
– Lower housing costs

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The vacancy rate is also a key factor determining the accommodation cost in cities across Canada. With this in mind, you can research vacancy rates to understand rental costs, determine how much you can afford, and budget for rent. Here are the 2023 vacancy rates and average rental rates for a 2-bedroom apartment in several Canadian cities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Much Do Apartments Cost in Canada? <\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"Vacancy
Vacancy rates of less than 2% such as in the city of Toronto drive the cost of accommodation higher. <\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finding affordable housing<\/a> continues to be challenging, especially in Toronto and Vancouver where vacancy rates are below two percent. That\u2019s why we encourage newcomers to consider other cities that often offer hidden advantages to newcomers, including lower accommodation costs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s Affordable Housing in Canada?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Housing affordability and supply are essential factors when evaluating your landing city options. In Canada, spending less than 30% of your pre-tax income on housing is considered affordable. Spending more than 30% on housing will mean cutting into your budget for things like food, transportation, and other necessities. And, until you establish stable finances, it\u2019s wise to manage your budget<\/a> and expenses accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Where to Find Affordable Accommodation in Canada?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The cost of accommodation can be lower when the vacancy rate is higher such as in Edmonton, Alberta.<\/em><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Major cities like Toronto and Vancouver are expensive when it comes to accommodation. However, you’ll likely find housing<\/a> prices that are more in line with your budget in other Canadian cities. Carefully researching small and mid-sized cities across Canada before you choose your landing city<\/a> is the key to your success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Research the Housing and Job Markets in Different Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

It’s important to research housing and job markets across Canada. Canada is a vast country with regional, economic, and cultural differences. And, the cost of housing (both in the rental and homebuying markets) can vary widely. At the same time, you want to research your profession in different cities to ensure job opportunities match your skills, knowledge, and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

This initial research is critical. While you can always relocate to other cities, making a secondary move is expensive. Carefully evaluating your landing city options, housing costs, and career options will help you make smart decisions and achieve financial stability and success! You can easily check out rental costs in cities across Canada at Rentals for Newcomers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Become Familiar with the Cost of Living in Different Cities<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The cost of living<\/a> varies across Canada. Groceries, transportation, rent, or home-buying costs can be expensive. Also, consider your lifestyle and the cost of entertainment and dining out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Considering all of these factors will help you to budget for the cost of accommodation in Canada. And for newcomers, this information can help you make smart and affordable landing city decisions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
