The 37-year-old left Stamford Bridge this summer after
playing 381 games and winning four Premier League titles across two spells with
the London club.
Drogba is the Ivory Coast's all-time top scorer, with 65
goals in 105 international appearances.
Montreal president Joey Saputo said the signing made it
"one of the biggest days in club history".
He added: "It's an honour to welcome Didier Drogba to
the Impact.
"From the first conversation I had with him, I felt
that he really wanted to play in Montreal.
"His arrival will be beneficial in every aspect."
Drogba will be a designated player at the Canadian side,
which means his wages will not be restricted by the MLS salary cap.
Impact, MLS members since 2012, finished bottom of the table
last season.
Drogba follows former Chelsea team-mate Frank Lampard in
moving to the North American league, with the 37-year-old having joined New
York City.
