Applying under the PEQ as a Temporary Foreign Worker

I have been to Montreal which is an amazing city in the summer and too cold for me in winter. Not having any info on your background it’s hard to speak about the community you are looking for. For me in terms of winter and work opportunity I would pick Toronto but I do know Asians who have picked Montreal due to their interest in AI and are working for the Google Brain team there. Qubec also requires you to be good at French.

Is Montreal an option?

Hi all. I’ve been surveying jobs and found a couple of startups in Montreal that looked interesting. While I feel my own chances should depend more on progming language than spoken(French), my wife works in marketing and interacting with businesses on the phone etc. Given we don’t know a word of French(yet), should we consider that a dead end and stay away from Montreal ? (For the record I’m almost at the point of applying for PR, but want to make sure both of us can have careers first). Thanks. …

Do keep in mind that Quebec has it’s own immigration program which is different from the rest of Canada so depending on which city you decide to move to, you would need to select the appropriate program.
