glad you liked it 🥳
Your videos are really very informative and accurate, keep going ❤❤

Thanks Yuli😇💕, it was lovely.
Thank you Yulia 😀, very fun and learnful video
you’re welcome 🙏🏼
This video was so informative to me as I want to go back and study French in Montreal. I hope my dreams come true.
Thanks for the clip this was pretty good one. It’s my dream to visit in Montreal some day:) Greetings from Helsinki, Finland.
Glad you enjoyed it!
u are helsinki from CASA DE PAPEL
Thanks for this--as someone living in Montreal since 1992, I can say that everything is pretty accurate & true. The only thing I could add is frenglish (We like to mix both languages in the same sentence). But you mentionned it with your dep example. As we used to say here, we like to meet in the middle. Great list that you've done. I've subscribed & I'll be sure to watch other videos from your channel.
thanks Carlo!
@@ThisisYulia bonne journée ou soirée a toi.
Thanks Yulia, i would love if you can make more videos about montreal.
will do 💪🏼
Hello! Glad to see you
Spasibo Bolshoya Yulia. Video is helpful.
you’re welcome!
Hi, I love your content!
thank you 🙏🏼
This is super helpful! I am relocating to Montreal soon and really wanted to know the lingo or know-how of the city :)
glad you liked it!
haha thankyou soo much , u r fun to watch too !!
thanks!
Your editing are fire girl
thank you 🥰
I liked it, I am so excited to go. I love your channel x2
thank you 🙏🏼
Haha... I love your take on Montreal. I'm finally moving back in a couple of months and it's nice to see that some things haven't changed lol. I love your name by the way! :D
thank you!
If you want to live in Québec and don't intend to learn french if you don't already know it, stay home. If you were going to Mexico you would learn Spanish, right? It's the same here. If you intend to go live somewhere avoiding to learn the local language and prefer to live in english thinking that people will always accomodate you, choose a place where you can fully live in english, that will be easy to find in North America.
I kinda agree with you but not really. for me French is the 4th language, so I’d rather speak English if I can. I feel like you need to know at least the basics of French to integrate better 👌🏼
i agree with you but montreal is the exception or the oxy moron. Similar to how quebec is the exception in Canada (New brunswick is 50 50 yea but still english is accepted as they run everything in both languages), montreal has traditionally been divided by st laurent street where west is more english and east is more english. Plenty of areas also like westmount, TMR, cote saint luc, west island, laval these days, montreal west (are suburbs) etc are predominantly english; so if you intend to stay in montreal and have little incentive to leave the greater montreal area you can make do with only English. HOwever yes it is one's best interest to learn French and I would say it is also in one's best interest to learn English as rest of Canada is english, and having career options definately help knowing both languages. I honestly believe that New Brunswick got it right where both languages are used in an official capacity, but Montreal end of the day is both English and french.
Justement Montréal peut être pénible pour ce genre de personne qui s'y installent sachant qu'elles n'ont et n'auront aucun intérêt pour la langue et la culture française, et qui même le revendiquent (comme ici).
Je ne sais pas ce qui est le plus triste, sa bêtise à elle ou bien celle des "Québécois" qui y participent ?
Peut-être de la simple provoc gratuite d'une personne acculturée et perdue dans la belle province.
Actually, I know people who arrived in Montreal already knowing French as a second, third, fourth language etc... but who subsequently lost their French over time whilst living here. Sad but true. This applies to Montreal only, though, not the rest of the province of Quebec.
@@tanbir11 That is right. Montreal's slogan is "Concordia Salus" (which essentially means "Harmony between French and English"). Everything is available in both English and French : newspapers, magazines, radio/TV programs, schools, universities, hospitals etc... you name it. I know people who were born here and who only know a few words of French. They call Montreal "Two Solitudes". The two main language groups know very little about each other, even after centuries of co-existence.
Of course there are many ethnic communities, most of which side with the English speakers, even though they might already know French. They see themselves as living in Canada/North America first, and Quebec second. The old-stock Québécois see them as outsiders. Even people from France are seen this way.
thank you yulia...I really liked it....I love your russian accent
thanks!
The French immersion program run by English Montreal School Board is a success. The kids of my relatives are trilingual. They are using French (instead of English) in some subject classes.
Merry Christmas
Awesome!
This helped a lot - I've never been before!
Hopefully I can make time to enjoy the city - am only going for a sports trip.
have fun! you’re gonna love it 🔥
@@ThisisYulia Oh my god! I didn't want to leave! I am making plans to move there now - I have completely fallen in love with the city. Thanks again for your videos - they help me to prepare.
my pleasure 🙏🏼
Great content #helpful ❤️
thank you 🙏🏼
Please make a video on occupations which are high in demand in Canada 🇨🇦
Nice info
A little classical music would be great with a cup of coffee sir ... Really very nice and relaxing ..
👍🏻. I have some suggestions if you go into the cafe and have a hot drink while showing the snow from the window, that would be great 😊
i show it on my instagram 😉 also Montreal is in lockdown, no cafe for now
Canada is highly cold country , take care yourself. Yulia. 🙏 ,Your earrings and nosering looking so gorgeous.
it’s not that cold. thanks to global warming 💩 thank you!
@@ThisisYulia It's not that cold, said someone from Russia LOL, I'm used to more than 20°C in my city.
The Russians I have met are surprised that Canadians do not tolerate the cold very well. It makes sense, since Canada was colonized by France and then England. This was only 500 years ago. The French and English are both not people from cold countries. The only people in Canada who really know the cold are the Inuit (Eskimos) and the Amerindians. They have been here for at least 12 000 years, not 500, LOL.
"Piégé dans son ventre glacé, écrasé par sa longueur, le Québécois connaît l'hiver, mais ne l'a pas apprivoisé...'' 🙂.
thnkx for sharing 👍😜
My pleasure 😊
you can used to linked..and join the webinar to discuss the study
Thank you Yulia 🤣🤣🤣😂😂
my pleasure 😎
@@ThisisYulia welcomed dear you got such a nice vlog I really find useful info while watching your videos since we are trying our luck in migrating to Canada 🙂 to Québec to be exact 😉
I love Quebec especially Montreal i wish visit it
My mother tounge is Arabic

Hey Yulia, i wanted to ask if there are any acting workshops or theatre for actors to learn the craft or places where filmmakers meet and work.
no idea, sorry!
Вы хороший посол Монреаля. Спасибо.
haha merci
I love Montréal. At night it turns into the devil’s playground. The architecture, the food and the night life is outstanding. No city in Canada even comes close.
Let’s be honest, Quebec is a fantastic place. Lots of mountains, farm land and then Montréal. What a life!
Never seen a city with so much passion.
totally agree with you!
Let’s not forget Québec city. WOW!!! It’s like being transported into Europe.
I can’t believe Québec city is part of North America.
Toronto
@@tamaralouisasaintil7419 Montreal has a passion for life like you never see elsewhere in the world.
It’s European and American with it’s own approach to life. Montréal has a soul that you easily fall in love with.
Toronto is just a generic city with no cultural identity. It piggybacks United-States for practically everything.
Sorry but Toronto brings no flavour to the table.
@@californiabob3231 I was born there and i live in Montréal. To each their own but there’s plenty of cities around the world with wayyyyyyyyy more “passion” than Montréal (even though i don’t really see the passion in Montréal) It’s pretty bland. I do believe that Toronto is a way nicer city than Montréal. It’s funny to me that people would think that about here. I’m glad you like our city tho!
7:25 oh its look like an volcano surface xd
Good video's
Glad you like them!
I like ur video and u as well
thanks!
Currently construction in the city is difficult. Drivers b ware. Rachel Street folks for great food
construction is always difficult 😤
Good video.
One question) Which canadian city is better for IT. Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa or Montreal?
it totally depends on you! Montreal has my heart tho
Lol now I want. list of cheap cocktails
Merci, Yulie. Going to Montreal in May. Can you recommended some restaurants? Im am not interested in Michelin star restaurants. Just good food for the average eater.😉
Hey Gina, sure thing!
cocktails: bar george, cloakroom, atwater cocktail club, coldroom, memento, darling
coffee: september, dispatch, cafe st.henri, tommy, crew
brunch: passé compose, wolf and workman, foeigwa, l’avenue, terrace nelligan, terrace william gray, sparrow
steaks: gibbys, maggie oakes, mechant beouf
fancy dining: boulvadier, kampai garden, ryu sushi, soubois
pizza: N900, fugazzi
Driving in Montreal SUCKSSSS! Good to see you Yulia! 👋🙋♂️
hiiii Aakash! 🥳 thanks for checking in!
Can I live in Montreal without French? Work etc
@@cepaes810 Yes you can. Expect to clean the dishes in a restaurant as a daily job.
Like for the natural “Russian” accent )))
🥳🥳🥳
everyone speaks english, but everyone also appreciate a little "bonjour" and "merci" :)
Absolutely It might not sound like a lot but honestly it really goes a long way!
Hi, how did you get all the short movie clips? They are funny
google helped me 🌝
Классный контент и интересная подача! Спасибо за инфу) вставки очень быстро мелькают, и надписи (например, dep) - не успеваешь сориентироваться
спасибо! буду делать подольше их 🙌🏼
Which language is this Yulia?
@@gulatism Russian
I’m hoping to moving to Montreal this year, I just opened my visa application
best of luck with that!
Good stuff👌but you didn't tell us about accommodation and rent prices
because prices change every year. check my other video about apartment and there to find them: ruclips.net/video/zSMB0q4r4pA/видео.html
I would love to meet you so much someday
Yes, totally agree. Place Jacques-Cartier is a tourist trap. Do not eat there. Expensive menu items that taste terrible served by a blasé staff. It is already much better on the side streets. There are really good restaurant in Old Montreal. Take the time to look for them. Just avoid Place Jacques-Cartier when it comes to restaurants.
💯💯💯
I am also coming to Montreal on a student visa in the fall intake of 2021. Then I will definitely meet you and make a podcast related to immigration.
What was the name of that restaurant to avoid in place jacques depuis old montreal?
I think it was Terrasse Le 419
@@ThisisYulia Merci beaucoup.
To be fair, you should avoid just about any other restaurant/shop on Jacques-Cartier. Montréal's highest concentration of tourist traps without a doubt
English in Montreal is more on the west of the island
We want to meet you // we are in Montreal as well 😂👋🏻
Oh, I remember these wonderful road signs!🙀 But after many years of living in Moscow, we were probably ready and easily dealt with them😸 Or maybe we were just lucky:)))
haha true!
unless you know someone who can get you into a job, you need to be able to speak/write/read French to work in Montreal/Quebec. Every job ad listed say bilingual required. If you are a student there is more allowance for not speaking a lot of French, and it is true that many people speak English (esp in English neighbourhoods), but French is the main language. I highly suggest learning the language before you come here.
depends on what you do. in IT no one cares about your French. same in international/American companies
@@ThisisYulia Ca va bientot changer... With such "avoidance" attitudes the province is voting and will vote new laws to impose French to dodgers.
On a ce que l'on mérite...
In tech industry, many customers are American or international anyways. Companies hire graduates from all over Canada. One big problem is that software comments are often spelled incorrectly by French Canadians because many French and English words are very similar in spelling. That is why they have software quality assurance.
Really in Montreal your not allowed to turn right thats odd in alberta you can if you come to a complete stop and look both ways then you can turn right!
Salut!
J’écris en français car mon anglais écrit est probablement égal ou de moins bonne qualité que la traduction offerte.
Seulement préciser que c’est seulement à Montréal, donc sur l’iles.
Le reste du Québec on peut tourner à droite sur le feu de circulation qui est rouge. Sauf si un panneau l’interdit.
👍🏻
Hey, you've been making a lot of videos about different Canadian cities. But where exactly have you actually studied and lived?
studied in Ottawa, live in Montreal
The place where you can see montreal is le mont royal 😂
Nice video tho!
viewpoint is the word I was looking for 😉
@@ThisisYulia ou got belvedere right!
Compared to Russia, were can you party all night long? More than the other.. 😏🥳 in Peru we can get alcohol 24/7 😅
And by the way... Really great content. 💙
very nice! 🥳🥳 thanks!
I confirm
JAY LENO SAID WHEN HE TRIED IS FERRARIY MONTREAL,,, HE SAID THIS CITY IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE WORLD
True on every count. Thank for the last one. The local papers no longer give proper information about what is going on in the city.
thank you 🙌🏼
Nice video Russian beauty . You are accurate and truthful . I come from Greece and Montreal is actually kinda below expectations .
thank you!
Your Russian accent is so funny
it's my alter-ego Anatoliy speaking!
Can make a video about British Columbia region(cons and pros)
Also planning to Take diploma in Lambton college, Mississauga, Toronto can u help about stats of that place
this video sums up pros and cons for BC, I think :)
What about may intake? Is it held online in normal days?
in normal days it’s offline
Is it possible to find a part time job as a student in Montreal without speaking French? I think I'll start learning French prior to coming, but it probably will be really basic.
I think you can if it's a job like a dishwasher or cleaning, and/or if it's in the english speaking neighbourhood
It's not such a good start if you already have a negative perspective. Soyez optimiste ! The Québécois will like you even better if you are "motivée de découvrir la langue et la culture française au Québec".
Always "commencer par un bonjour"...
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
perfectly balanced humour....
thanks!
Hi Julia! Can you recommend colleges in Montreal where speak only English? Thanks
McGill University, and the surrounding area, are almost entirely Anglophone.
English colleges are Vanier, Dawson, John Abbot, and Marianopolis. Starting in September 2024, students of English colleges need to take five (3 additional + 2 existing) French second language classes to graduate.
Starting on 1st Sept 2023, graduates of private unsubsidized colleges in Quebec will no longer qualify for PGWP. There are 48 such establishments listed in Quebec website.
Hi I would like to ask you about ENGLISH requirements
How can I enter university without ielts or tofel ?
Thank you 🙏🏻
you can’t :(
@@ThisisYulia
I think If I study English in university I think 💭 I might get a final admission
If I study English from 6 months to 12 months.
With out ielts
Disagree strongly with the Jacques Cartier thing, u just had a bad experience... But very good video.
The bad condition of the roads in Montreal is due to the longtime italo-mafia corruption.
😢😢😢
I yulia please make a video about part time job i montreal for students i will wait
ruclips.net/video/i00QTY5pA4U/видео.html
@@ThisisYulia i will come Montreal and like to thanks you
I am looking forward to meeting you one day.
I am one of your big fans
Please, please
Bill 96 is the last straw for me, I've had enough, time to move to Ontario.
You can't stand the idea of college students having 3 courses in French in their curriculum?
You should have already done it. Bon déménagement !
@@jandron94 Enjoy it why you're still allowed some slack to pass absurd laws like this. The era of special Frenchie rights was fun while it lasted but the momentum is gone, indigenous people are Canada's new pets now.
@@baboking6928 nothing is gonna change, Legault is going to be re elected in a few weeks and nobody votes liberal anymore in Québec ;)
The real Montreal is in the East end.
Can I have a coffe with you,please?
Seriously
How is it for African Americans ?
Eh but still eh )))))))))
If you dont want to speak french, dont move to Quebec please we want people who speak French here, not creating an English ghetto in Montreal.
I have zero tolerance for people coming here and not make the effort to speak and learn french.
Je crois qu'elle en rajoute : son bonjour/ça va est plutot bon donc je pense qu'elle fait juste de la provoc.
Son raisonnement est tellement bête...
There is already an English ghetto in Montreal around McGill University.
Dep lol
You are Canadian ? Then you should speak French. Simple !
