WF = with family, NF = without family; G2–G4 = quarters groups (set by grade). Values are annual maximums in USD.

How this rate is used

The Living Quarters Allowance (LQA) reimburses U.S. government civilian employees for actual rent and utilities at Quebec, up to an annual maximum that depends on the employee's quarters group (a function of grade) and whether they are accompanied by family. The six annual ceilings shown — quarters groups 2, 3 and 4, each with and without family — are what mobility, HR and payroll teams use to budget overseas housing costs and set LQA grants.

Quebec rate FAQ

What is the LQA rate for Quebec, Canada?

The current DSSR Living Quarters Allowance (LQA) annual maximum for Quebec, Canada ranges by quarters group and family status — for quarters group 2 it is $38,000 with family and $36,200 without family. All six series (groups 2–4, with and without family) are shown in the chart and table above.

How is the Quebec LQA maximum determined?

LQA maximums depend on the employee's quarters group (set by grade) and whether they have family at post. The State Department publishes the six annual ceilings for Quebec; actual LQA reimburses real rent and utilities up to the applicable ceiling.

How has the Quebec LQA changed over time?

In Jun 28, 2026 the quarters-group-2 with-family maximum was $38,500; it is now $38,000. The full year-by-year history for all six series is in the table above and is queryable by effective date via the API.
