False. The real line with its usual metric is complete and is homeomorphic to with its usual metric, throughIts inverse is , so both maps are continuous. However, is a Cauchy sequence in and has no limit there: its only possible real limit is zero. Hence is not a complete metric space. Completeness is a property of the metric, not just of its topology.
