    I understand your concerns and bad experiences, but pls bare in mind that english is also a foreign language so if we can learn and be fluent in english then we can also be fluent in french...just learn it and keep practicing and you will be fluent and there are many learning videos on youtube to help...

    The deal with Quebec is it's NOT bilingual. It has sort of been bilingual in the past but it's now strictly French. So going there and speaking English is like going to the US and speaking Spanish. Sure.. a lot of people might understand you but it isn't the language.

    • @TedTed-xh1ys
      @TedTed-xh1ys 7 місяців тому +2

      This doesn't mean I agree with it, Montreal IS a bilingual city by makeup whether it likes it or not, but the reality is the current government wants French ONLY and has gotten enough of the population behind that notion to carry it out. Anyone moving to Quebec should have at least a working vocabulary of French and be studying towards fluency, or you just won't be welcomed.

      ​@JourneyWithJoyTv I'm sorry you had such a frustrating time in Montreal. It's especially frustrating when you make an effort to learn the language and find the resources to do so are terrible. Ironically I have found people in France to be more welcoming to English speakers than Montreal

    Why do you stay in Montreal?:- did Canada Immigration insist on residency in Montreal as a condition of immigration? If you have PSW training you can easily find work in eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Valley such as in Pembroke and Renfrew but you need a car there. You could also find work easily in Ottawa where they have public transit. You should talk to your friends at your church to ask if they could help you resettle in a better place for you in eastern Ontario which is not very far for you to move:- perhaps they have a sister congregation in eastern Ontario who could help you. You seem to belong to a Catholic parish so there are many Catholic parishes in Ottawa and one of them might be able to help you relocate to a more friendly community.

Language barrier is one of my challenges which I do not want to repeat since I lived in Chonavfor 5 years using translation, I know how much frustrating it is living in that kind of system. To your experience which city in Quebec would you recommend is better for people who fear struggling like you due to language Barrie and kids??? Thanks

      Why do you all make your life miserable.
      I personally would never do that. No tike to learn another language unless I'm being forced to for a particular reason.

    To save a few hopeful people, having lived in Montreal for 1 year, and being raised Canadian. I can tell you that not all of this is true. Yes you will struggle to integrate into the culture if you don’t know French, but you can absolutely live in an English community. West of Montreal (Kirkland) is very anglophone, so is westmount, and Decarer. There were cases when I spoke French yet was responded in English - I didn’t like that very much, but it is what it is.
    Not only this, we have a lot of exchange workers from South American countries to support our fast food industry so there is a work. It just might not be the work you are looking for.
    If you are still hesitant, I’d say become at least an A2 level French, or move to Alberta.
