Updated on June 23, 2025, at 1:23:44 AM EDT (Toronto Time). Canada’s cities are celebrated for their exceptional quality of life, seamlessly merging urban excitement with natural beauty. The Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Global Liveability Index for 2025, published in June, features Vancouver, Toronto, and Calgary among the top 20 most liveable cities worldwide; however, it does not present a clear top 10 list specifically for Canada. To address this, we have compiled a list of the 10 most liveable cities in Canada for 2025, integrating EIU’s global rankings along with data from the latest Canadian liveability rankings by “The Globe and Mail” and other reputable sources. This article will outline Canada’s top 10 most liveable cities in 2025, along with the most liveable cities globally for the same year. The Global Liveability Index by EIU assesses 173 cities around the globe, scoring them on a scale from 1 to 100 based on five weighted categories. Stability (25%): Includes crime statistics, political stability, and overall safety. Healthcare (20%): Relates to the availability of quality medical services and health outcomes. Culture and Environment (25%): Encompasses recreational opportunities, climate conditions, cultural diversity, and environmental quality. Education (10%): Focuses on access to high-quality schools and higher education institutions. Infrastructure (20%): Pertains to the effectiveness of transportation systems, housing availability, and utilities. In 2023, the global average score stands at 76.1, with Canadian cities frequently achieving scores above 80, indicating high livability. However, healthcare challenges noted by the EIU have negatively impacted the rankings of Vancouver (10th globally, 2023), Toronto (22nd, around 210), and Calgary (218th, 2023). This curated list emphasizes cities that demonstrate strong performances both globally and nationally, achieving a balance between large urban areas and smaller community-oriented centers. Below is our selection of Canada’s top 22 most livable cities for 2024, organized in a table format followed by comprehensive profiles. The rankings are based on the EIU 2023 scores for Vancouver, Toronto, Calgary, and Montreal, along with additional data from The Globe and Mail and historical trends from the EIU for other cities.
