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.
The essentials
Bilingual by nature
English and French are part of daily life — Canadians settle in quickly.

Warm, sunny weather year-round and an outdoor lifestyle on the water.

The whole move managed
Permit, property, schools, banking and healthcare handled by one team.
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.
