Canadian cities are the best places for remote work

Canada is again on the top of the rankings.

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, it was pretty hard to imagine that almost the entire world would stop working in the office. Security requirements, quarantine, thousands of hours spent at home instead of walking, going to offices, and meeting with friends and co-workers – that's what COVID turned out to be.

The pandemic has brought its changes: now working from home, a café or a co-working space is a common thing and not only for IT-specialists who work this way. So it's even strange that some firms still require to be in the office all five days a week.

Today, if all you need for work is a computer and a good Internet signal, you can easily go to almost any city on the planet: certainly you will find a cafe and the Internet. Those people are called "digital nomads."

What, then, is the best place for remote work? The answer is simple – Canada. The Maple Leaf Country is in top top of the rankings here as well.

Preply, an online learning platform, has compiled a list of the best places to work remotely. There are four Canadian cities in the top 50, and one of them is in the top 10.
