Moving to Mauritius from Canada
Swap the winters for a warm, bilingual island — English and French, tax-efficient, and welcoming to families, retirees and remote workers.
Mauritius is a natural fit for Canadians looking to escape the winters. It is genuinely bilingual — English and French are both widely used — which makes settling in unusually easy, and it offers a warm climate, a safe society and a tax regime with no capital-gains or inheritance tax.
We help Canadian retirees, remote workers, families and entrepreneurs relocate: selecting the right residence route, arranging a home, schooling, banking and healthcare, and setting up any business. As with any move, we'd recommend confirming your Canadian tax-residency position with a specialist in parallel.

English and French are part of daily life — Canadians settle in quickly.

Frequently asked
Is the retirement route open to Canadians?
Yes — the Residence Permit for retired non-citizens is open to anyone aged 50 or over who transfers the required income (currently USD 2,000/month) to Mauritius. We confirm the current figures and prepare the application.
Will language be a barrier?
Rarely. Mauritius is bilingual in English and French, so Canadians — including Francophones — tend to find day-to-day life and admin straightforward.
