GPU cloud in Montreal, Canada: NVIDIA GPU servers hosted in the country
Updated on
Short answer
GPU Cloud rents NVIDIA GPU servers hosted in Montreal (region canada-montreal), and their disks never leave Canada. Prices are shown and billed in Canadian dollars, from CA$0.67/h for an RTX A6000, taxes extra.
Where the servers run
Every GPU server is deployed in a single region, canada-montreal, in Montreal. There is no server outside Canada: a deployment cannot land elsewhere by mistake.
- Stays in Canada: the servers, their disks and everything you store or compute on them.
- May be processed outside Quebec: account information (identity, billing, e-mails), as the privacy policy explains.
- Quebec’s Law 25 applies to the personal information GPU Cloud processes. The details are on the data sovereignty page.

Prices in Canadian dollars, taxes extra, read from the catalog when the page is built. Availability is read live; a machine out of stock shows the closest equivalent machine in stock.
On request only: NVIDIA H200 SXM, NVIDIA B200 and NVIDIA B300. These models are not ordered online; a reservation or a quote request lets us check availability.
Paid in Canadian dollars, no conversion
The price shown is the price billed, in Canadian dollars: no conversion from US dollars when you pay. Example: an 8-hour work day on an RTX A6000 costs $5.36, taxes extra depending on the billing province.
The price of every server size is on the GPU pricing page for Canada.
Who it is for
- Teams in Quebec and across Canada that want their compute servers to stay in the country.
- Labs and startups that pay in Canadian dollars and want a price known in advance, by the hour.
- AI projects that serve Canadian customers’ data, for example a self-hosted LLM with vLLM (see the guide host your LLM on a GPU).
Good to know before you launch
- Billing is hourly, at the server’s hourly rate, from prepaid credit. There is no per-minute billing, and the first hour is charged when you deploy.
- A stopped server is still billed at the full hourly rate. To pay less, hibernate it ($0.02 per hour (about $14.60 per month), disk kept) or delete it. A Spot machine cannot be hibernated: delete it when you are done.
- The minimum top-up is CA$25.00, paid by credit card.
- Servers and their disks stay in Canada (region canada-montreal, in Montreal). Account information (identity, billing, e-mails) may be processed outside Quebec, as the privacy policy explains.
