Digital nomads, listen up! The newly-released Workation Index has the scoop on the best cities in the world for working remotely, and some of them are right here in Canada.
Online tutoring platform Preply has created a ranking of the cities that offer the best conditions for employees working from home.
The ranking analyzed 74 cities across the globe based on ten factors across three categories: “Quality of Life,” “Climate and Environment,” and “Costs and Safety.”
Quality of Life takes into account factors like English language proficiency, healthcare, and respect for human rights.
Climate and Environment analyzes factors like the number of sunny days, green spaces, and the average temperature in each city.
Finally, Costs and Safety looks at the costs for international schools, affordable housing, and overall safety in each city.
