Hong Kong and Montreal are exciting cities to live. If you are from Canada, living in Hong kong will help you expand your horizon. You will get the chance to explore the Asian economy. The reverse is true for students living in Asia. Choosing McGill will give you the option to have a career in Canada and US.
