If you’re relocating to Canada and trying to work out your housing budget, you’ll want to know the cost of an average apartment rental.

According to the latest data from the Канадской ипотечной и жилищной корпорации (CMHC), currently Canada’s most expensive rental market is Ванкувер, where an average two-bedroom apartment rents for $1,154 в месяц.

Other major cities ranking in the top five, pricewise, являются Калгари ($1,106), Торонто ($1,093), Эдмонтон ($1,059), и Виктория ($1,043).

Конечно, it’s easy to spend much more than these averages if you’re looking at high-end properties, but you can use these figures as a rough guide.

Арендная плата намного ниже в Оттава, where you can rent a two-bedroom unit for an average monthly rate of $690. Монреаль и Квебек are also comparative bargains в $656 и $664 в месяц, соответственно.
