Renting Apartments in Canada at present, all one finds for under over $1000 are over priced, mold infested, Cockroach infested and over noised, smelly pot drug apartments, unreal.. i ask when did this country Canada become like this.
The skiing shots were not taken in Quebec. You can skate on the lac des castors and cross country on Mont Royal in Montreal. Really fun to do under the full moon. You can have a hot chocolate in an art deco building on Mont Royal. 2000 La Gauchetiere has the coolest indoor ice skating rink .
What I do not like when people talk about TAx and cost of living in The province of QC is that you almost never mention we have day care for very cheap price because Quebec subsidise it In qc $8.00 a day, Ontario they do not And BC it is $75.00 a day, Also when doing income tax year end you can ask for GST and QST partial return. And so many more other tax benefits. I could go on but why don't you just lookit up
Try watching Canadian TV in French (especially Radio-Canada, the French equivalent of CBC). You will learn to speak with the Québec accent, which is quite different from what you would hear in a French movie from France.
Hi! Thank you so much for sharing this information! I was wondering if there are classes for English speakers to learn French. I’m an American citizen who works as a licensed social worker. I’m also worried about your winters. I’m currently living in the northeast US so we also have long winters, but I’m sure it’s not as cold as Montreal. But I feel so drawn to the city.
@@Trucs_en_vrac that’s good to hear! I think the winters here in the NE US are also less harsh because of climate change (the only good thing about climate change lol). Is it easy to learn French in Montreal?
@@miraafloyd I feel that NY for example gets more snow lately, and Montreal get colder weather (which snows less when it's really cold, but you still get snow there). If you don't have a car and can live near a metro and do everything near metro, you're golden.
French classes are offered for free in Montreal for non French speakers. I'm sure it's the same all over the province. As for the weather, if you have the right equipment, you won't feel an insane difference with what you already know in northeast US but Winters are a bit longer though and some days can get really cold but it's not everyday! ;)
@@miraafloyd Don't worry about learning French, the Government offers free classes for immigrants plus almost everyone in Montreal speaks some level of English and stores' employees are usually bilingual.
Homelessness is a new phenomena. Last 15? years? i think as investors buy property around the world and the rents keep going up by 10% every year ( investors...) more and more people will be in the streets. Wages are not going up by 10% every year. In the states, landlords are allowed to increase rents by 10% every year in my area. I wonder if Montreal has a 10% cap or other?
I don't think there is a cap but you have to justify the rent going up by doing renovation. If not you can only going up to make for inflation or taxes going up
was it "rough"? "harsh"? "worst"? English is not my first language, so I had some trouble identifying what was that word. I get the sense of what she means, of course.
I totally disagree with your point #2, especially the part with the written message "Learn English". Of course being bilingual is an asset, here and everywhere else in the word. But Montreal is first and foremost a French-speaking city. Implying that you need English to live here is simply false. In other words: if you don't speak French and are not willing to learn it, don't bother moving to Montreal.
its not french OR english in MTL its the economic and cultural Métropole of french canada and french is the only national languages in Quebec since 1977 so get with the program
@@hugostiglitz2388 "Butchered dialect"?? What ignorance, what contempt! Yes, it's different from Parisian French, but the same thing can be said about English-language varieties around the world, very different-souding from standard "British" English.

If you go to Quebec, you must learn to speak French. Every thing you see in the Quebec province and old old towns across Canada) was built by French Canadians. Sometimes paid with English or Jewish money, the French Canadians were the builders. So all the old buildings you see, the roads, were built by French Canadians. French Canadians are French people intermixed with the Autochtones starting in the late 1500, the two " races" needed each other to create the really successful fur trade . And maybe a bit of Irish in the late 1800. The culture, the language is "French from the King " , the French before the revolution. That is why it is different than the French spoken in france . "Poor. marginalized" people did not settle Quebec like they did in the USA. KING Louis IV was building a colony ( the businesses of the time) . The French Canadians could entertain and thrive in Canadian winters. French Canadians worked in the lumber industry, in the mines along Autochtones ( just less diluted French Canadians lol) all over Canada. Very dangerous work. It was never the English doing the work. so for 500 years, we are used to switch to the english language to accommodate the english bosses, but you have to understand if you are coming to Montreal now, and you choose to only speak english, you can see how Quebecois people will HATE that. You want to only speak English? the rest of Canada is your oyster. What makes Quebec great is the values carried on by Quebec people. Even the legal system is French. Quebec only opened up to the outside world starting in the late 1960s You want to work in Quebec city where my first ancestor was born in 1621? speaking French is nonnegotiable, learn english if you want.
Wow thanks 😊 I’m actually planning on moving to Canada before the end of the year. And I’m looking at tips/things to know. I’m moving from America would I have to apply for a Canada visa in order to move there first?
@@Sesshomaruwifu typically European Union passport holder can come to Canada up to 6 month (minus 1 day) visa free. You just need to apply for eTA (which cost like 7$). Of course, if you plan on working or studying, then a proper visa is required.

Great video and content! I am living in Quebec now - will be in Montreal in June - love it!!
Weather is slightly better in Montreal compared to Quebec city
I would gladly move back to MTL!

Its better to learn and speak International French than Québec french because you can't understand if you were not born here.

Hello Truc. Is Montreal a good place to raise children?
Yes , never heard much complaint
Yes, it is a very safe city with lots of parks, and kids are welcome in cafés. There are enough schools.
A wonderful place! We have lots of great schools, public libraries, public parks, public pools and daycare at 8.50$ a day. Plus there's after-schol programs too.
Yeah, if you want them to be forced into French language school.
to be honest, i wouldnt say so.
