Quebec City in short

Quebec City is among the most attainable major physician markets in Canada, within Quebec's distinct system: a municipal welcome tax (droit de mutation) instead of Ontario-style LTT, and notary-based closings. Physician programs add projected-income qualification for residents at the Universite Laval and CHU de Quebec networks, with National Bank a natural lender in the province.
