@@danp8619 Not if you want live there and want a job. You might find people in the tourist industry in Quebec City who speak pretty good English. However, to find a job, negotiate a mortgage, speak with a financial advisor, visit a doctor or dentist or make daily purchases, speaking French is a matter of survival.
What do you think, is it possible for English speakers to move to Quebec City and start learning French while still being able to find some kind of work to survive in the mean time? We love Quebec City and would love to move there from Toronto. I am a skilled worker, a carpenter and would definitely put in as much effort as possible to learn French, but you have to start somewhere, that's the problem.
I am french and I used to live in Toronto. I just want to say that it needs to be highlited that if you don't speak french in Quebec especially in Quebec city it could be very challenging to find a job. Love your videos! I am one of your first subscribers. I am amazed how clear and informative are your contents. I feel now that I know you 😉. Keep doing the videos!
Nora B 🥰 Thanks for the sweet comment. We really appreciate that. Thanks for reiterating the fact that French is really important in Quebec! When did you first subscribe? It’s so cool that you reached out to us. Thanks for the encouragement as well. Did you move back to France?
My brother is moving to Quebec on this coming March, he wants to learn french cause he doesn't want to wash dishes for his whole life, are places outside of montreal good places to learn french?
@Salvatore Guidone I wanna move to quebec as well, I was thinking outside of montreal too, but am concerning about employment opportunities as a truck driver because I don't know french, I am willing to learn the language.
@Salvatore Guidone yes I do speak spanish, I don't mind learning french, if I have a day off I'll definitely will take french course, I don't mind moving in Quebec, it's cheaper than Ontario, just the language barrier I need. And yes french will be easier to learn.
Well here is my two cents, I lived in Québec/Sherbrooke for15 years and moved to the USA/Ohio in the late 90's and I'm still in Ohio. The things I miss most is the Pizza, Poutine, Smoked meat sandwiches, Maple syrup the one in a can, (pain georges) "Pain" is french for bread and "des croûtons" which is, now this might sound gross to people outside of Québec but it's a spreadable pork product you put on toasts. By the way I visit Quebec almost every year to see family. My opinion is based on Sherbrooke, I never lived in any other province in Canada. I've been to Québec City twice once during Quebec Winter Carnival a must see attraction. Some cons that you don't hear often in these types of video's. It's hard to land a good job and crappy one's too it seems, especially if your a outsider. I remember back in the early 90's trying to find a job in Sherbrooke was tough and most of the job's I had were crap jobs and the bosses were on your butt cause they know they could replace you easily. Also from watching a half dozen video's today (on the subject of moving to Canada) it "seems" like the job market hasn't changed that much. Here in Central Ohio I could quit a job today and get another one almost the next day, the job market here is crazy for all types of jobs, good ones too. My point is you can get a lot of jobs here in Central Ohio without a degree and learn on the job training. My father in law (who still lives there Québec) would say this joke often back in the day "that you needed a college degree to be a janitor in a high school". I know for a fact I could not have my current job without a degree in Canada and I live well and own a house. I'm not trying to knock Canada I still love it there. If you don't know how to speak french then don't bother moving to Québec City it's more french then the rest of Québec. Your not going to find work almost no where (unless you can find a job working in a cave ;) and it will be very hard to get by and people might actually hate you, seriously I know. Most Québec people want to keep Québec as french as possibly it's their heritage. The only place I know you could get away with english only would be Montreal maybe. You need to be constantly learning french. If don't intend to learn french then don't move to Québec. It will be very difficult for you to learn it. I was able to get by after a couple years due to my parents speaking french in the house all the time. If your family or friends you live with don't speak it or you don't hear it at least a couple of hours a day then forget it just move to Ontario or any of the other provinces. A fun little fact in Québec/Sherbrooke when I got my drivers license in the early 90's it cost like upwards in the $700-800cad and it took if I remember correctly a month to get it, it was multiple tests and tests drives. Also if I remember correctly again back then just to put the license plate on the car was $255 a year, crazy stuff. Now this might of changed and I would be interested to know. Another thing about Québec and this is for you pet lovers, in general apartments and probably condo's too, aren't very pet friendly. I'd have to ask my cousins if this has changed much in the last 20 years.
Still the same. Not much difference. To get a driver licence in quebec is close to 1800 or more depending with the obligatory driving school . Car assurance, plates and drivers licence still high. Finding a good job is not easy at all. Rent in montreal even suronding areas extremely expensive. Food same. And the worst is the covid lock downs and the way we were treated with 5 pm curfews. One person only from the household doing shopping etc same government won the election and I see it coming again this winter.
What i really like here is the way u simplified everything here with specifics, the perfect timing of a little joke isnt a bad idea at all. Thanks guys
Yes, and Montreal's acceptance of immigrants has been its downfall. La ville était impeccable avant l’arrivée des immigrants, soyons honnêtes, d’après nous ? IMMIGRANTS KEEP OUT OF QUEBEC PLEASE.
Y'all got any tips for learning French in a an area with practically no French speakers or classes? I'm a U.S. citizen considering moving to Canada within the next 5 years. I can already speak English, Spanish, and Mandarin. Thanks to my Spanish, native language, I can mostly read French and understand slightly. The city seems like a great place to work and live, the entire province in general and I don't want to leave out this province as an option :)
Oscar Rodriguez = polyglot! Congratulations that’s awesome. Thanks for the comment. Sounds like you’ll have go online/tech for simplicity’s sake. Duolingo helps with foundational stuff, Pimsleur, and Rosetta Stone are also good although not all encompassing. Then you have one on one tutoring sessions with French speakers that can be done online. A more personal thing that happens is getting a French speaking girl friend oh la la. We also know people that first go there to study French, then they learn French, and change their visa and enter the workforce. Hope that helps.
You'll learn quickly in french, there's a large latino community in Montreal QC because the language is easier, you'll do fine, my brother is moving to Quebec as well, trois riviere, he said the French Canadians are little similar to Latin Americans and the cost of living is cheap. So you'll do fine and make sure to learn french so that you can get a better job.
If you want to come and live in Québec, especially Québec City, learn French, anyways you'll be in total French immersion...Bienvenue dans ma belle ville de Québec !
You guys doing a great job, I’m looking forward to live there. I’m a pharmacist, n I’m going through the governmental steps to get an equivalent to my Bach. Degree, now would you tell me more about health care job opportunities overthere and whether you guys have a lot of pharmacies on ground in there
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching. This current channel is mainly Portugal content right now. Our other channel ExpatsEverywhere Explores is more global in scope now. - Josh
I stayed in Quebec for a couple years and I got your opening skit, I chuckled but said out-loud, somebody TEACH them how to talk., then I laughed. I lived in Portugal also for two years and will be interested to watch foir your experience. I totally agree that the Immigration and citizenship website is worthy of being the global model. One thing that I'd like to hear more of is what retirement in Quebec City and the future homelands you address.
Hi Melissa, thank you for the comment. Just for transparency purpose, Josh and Kalie produced this content as a part of our 2020 series called Great Expat Cities by the Alphabet. Our audience voted Quebec City as the winner for the letter Q and therefore, we did a video about Quebec City. 😁
Thank you so much 😀 The next city that our audience has voted on is Toronto and we're working on that video for Thursday. After that, a new poll where you can vote for the next one. We'd love to have your vote.
@@ExpatsEverywhere M glad you reply.. Plz include neighbourhood of Toronto like mississauga & Brampton you will have a larger audience to cover up in that case.. Well I live in UAE so Dubai n neighborhood would be my preference. 😁
As someone from Quebec it's always interesting to see things from an other perspective ! nice video guys :) I would say that the public transport is pretty good, for the students of Laval university the pass is paid by all the students together for all of them, that's pretty nice and you can also live on the other side of the saint lawrence river and use thoses bus. Anyway have a good day!
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate the feedback and helping our community there. Much love! Tomorrow we have a video about Toronto that was voted on by our community. We hope you check that out as well.
@@glowingcrystal504 Quebec is French, they are nationalist and by my own experience quite racist. I am married to a quebequer for 20 years. His own family still making jobs about I come from a banana Republic and my fist interaction with them was from what part of Africa do you come from. I am Hungarian that grow up in South America. I had discrimination on the bus. Daycare, hospitals everything is when I spoken in English or really bad French. Rent is super expensive, food also is getting really expensive mostly meat and milk products, schools are free but the annual fees are high. 1900 for my 3 kids this year. Life is not easy in quebec. Choose any other province. As son as I can be leaving this province after covid lock down I had enough
Your content is truly informative. We have visited the city today and fallen in love with the city. Currently, we live in Montreal and want to move into Quebec city.
Wow, are you Canadian or an expat? Thank you. We appreciate it. We prefer Quebec City over Montreal too although we tend to prefer slightly smaller major cities. - Josh & Kalie
Thanks for great content, both of you doing great job. Please if you can provide some detailed information about this occupational therapist job in Quebec. Your words are really encouraging and motivating. Thanks
Hi Naresh, thanks for the compliment. We don't have a particular occupational therapist job in mind. If it's your field, jump into job forums and Facebook groups in Quebec in your field and start networking. Also, LinkedIn could be a great place to network too. - Josh & Kalie
Sojan Antony Great question but this really isn’t our area of expertise. Duo Lingo is a good free online resource. Pimsluer and Rosetta Stone are two paying resources. The first is more auditory skills and the later is more comprehension skills with neither being great for production skills. The best thing for production skills and especially speaking skills is to do 1 on 1 classes, group classes with a focus on conversation, foreign language meet ups, or even dating someone that speaks your target language 😍
Learn from TH-cam. There are quebec natives that teach French. I did use one for my kids on lockdown he's name is Martin. Be ware French from quebec is not French from France . Is way more complicated to understand people from out side montreal.
hi guys,, which is high cost of living,, Toronto or Quebec? apartment rental how much one bedroom? maybe 1 hour distance from downtown... one room rental, how much? solo person only... the food, breakfast, lunch, dinner per person how much? hope to hear from you... mr.Blue
Quebec City is going to be cheaper than Toronto for sure. Housing prices in Quebec are significantly cheaper. Have you ever used Numbeo? It's does a fairly good job of giving you an idea of cost of living difference using their city comparison. www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Canada&country2=Canada&city1=Toronto&city2=Quebec+City
Expats Everywhere nice to hear that Quebec is much cheaper than toronto.. oh yes, can you tell me, how can i go to Montreal,, is it by train, bus? how much regular roundtrip fare, ? where can i find a regular room for 2 nights stay? i want to see Montreal coz i heard from friends,, they say montreal is a nice place... can you give me idea on how to go to montreal? hope to hear from you.. mr.blue
Happy to hear from you, it was so helpful and encouraging, i am about to move snd live in Quebec, would you please let me know if there are any scope of HVAC jobs ???
Congrats on your pending move! That's fantastic. Unfortunately, your query is a bit too niche for our us, however we would advise checking the local job boards in Quebec.
Hey Ibrahim, Canada's government website is really robust. You should be able to find answers to your exact interests there. www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html
It feels like you should live there to be able to give advice about moving to the Quebecois nation. It's not like the rest of Canada where American lifestyle really applies. Not being able to name neighborhoods kinda reveals you don't know what you're talking about.
A shared apartment? A 1 br apartment outside of the city center could be as low as $450 CAD. You might be able to get even cheaper if you rent a room in a large house and have roommates.
Expats Everywhere thanks for your fast reply.. oh thats good,, $ 450 cad 1 bed room shared apartment.. not outside city,, just a one hour travel from downtown.. much cheaper if its a large house with room mates.. thats fine.. but how can i connect to the house owner? address,, phone? so i could talk to them.. hope you can reply,. thank you Sir/ma’m... mr.blue
MR. BLUE you’re welcome. To clarify, the $450 CAD is for a one bedroom apartment for yourself that’s located outside of the city center. You might find the same price or cheaper in a shared property where you have housemates. For the second part of your question, it could be valuable to join expat groups on Facebook for people in Quebec and post there that you’re looking for a room in a shared house.
@@bluestar1740 Both, but those expat groups are great for networking. You can get in there (an expat Facebook group) and ask people if they know about a room to rent.
There is a massive shortage of healthcare workers in Quebec, they are really screaming out for them. In Montreal, maybe you could get by in English but in the rest of Quebec you really need French. The good news is that the Quebec government sponsors French classes to help you out.
Québec City winters are brutal they start basically in November and go to April. It's minus 10 to minus20 most of the winter. People only speak French. Language laws don't permit working in English.
Weatherwise, you are right, language wise, you are completely wrong. Obviously, you do not know Quebec law. I'm from Quebec and I don't only speak french, I speak 4 different languages and I work in any of them regularly. Local population speaks french, so indeed, you are expected to speak french as well. Would you expect to work in english in Moscow? Didn't think so.
@@bremexperience I live in Quebec, educated in English, worked in the gouvernement of Quebec exclusively in French for 27 years. Obviously you don't know the workings of "loi 101", tu connais pas vraiment la de la francisation. Mais en général les gens traite les nouveaux arrivées avec respect.
Only a few of the pictures you showed to intro the different sectors were actually from the neighborhoods you described. You used upper town's Carre D'Youville for Limoilou, some St-Sauveur pictures for Cap-Rouge, etc... COME ON! One 40 minute car ride and you could have gotten the right ones to post... NOT professional at all. PS: Le VIEUX QUEBEC or OLD TOWN is BOTH St-Jean Baptiste AND inside the wall.. Inside the wall is really called the Quartier Latin or Latin Quarter. You are NOT a very reliable source of information.
Hey sorry. These were just general b-roll from Unsplash. This video was a part of a series where our audience picked the city that we put together information about moving to, living in, and working in. There was no 40 minute card ride available. It would have been a several hour flight just to be turned down because the Canadian border was close due to you know what. All of the information here is sourced from reliable sources such as government websites, or from locals/expats that we know.
I don't know of any Muslim communities in Quebec, but there are many in the Middle East. Perhaps it might be a good idea to consider a move there rather than a community that wishes to remain European. I'd think hard on that.
Well.. they lied. First location they called it Limoilou but the photo is the d'Youville Square. They talked about St-Roch who is down the hill... Hotel Louisbourg is in the old city on top of the hill... etc etc
You just live there for a small amount of time and speaking so many false things trying to get views lol. Dude stay there for at least 10 years to speak about it.
It depends on your perspective ;-) I did live abroad and could say the same for Japan or Hong Kong 😂 But in general, if you do have this attitude re: foreign language (unless you meant it for French only...) I’d suggest you stop looking for expat videos... foreign language is usually part of the expat experience...
What a stupid comment, don’t come here then if you don’t like French-speaking people because we’re here to stay whether Angryphones like you like it or not lmao

Well here is my two cents, I lived in Québec/Sherbrooke for15 years and moved to the USA/Ohio in the late 90's and I'm still in Ohio. The things I miss most is the Pizza, Poutine, Smoked meat sandwiches, Maple syrup the one in a can, (pain georges) "Pain" is french for bread and "des croûtons" which is, now this might sound gross to people outside of Québec but it's a spreadable pork product you put on toasts.

Expats Everywhere nice to hear that Quebec is much cheaper than toronto.. oh yes, can you tell me, how can i go to Montreal,, is it by train, bus? how much regular roundtrip fare, ? where can i find a regular room for 2 nights stay? i want to see Montreal coz i heard from friends,, they say montreal is a nice place... can you give me idea on how to go to montreal? hope to hear from you.. mr.blue
Thanks for the video it is so helpful!
ABIGAIL OLIVIER you’re welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Verify and check first the healthcare system and the quality of the medical services...
Very informative. Love your video. Thanks. Greeting from BC.
Thanks for watching! We appreciate the love. 🥰
Hi, I just came in contact with your channel.....and guess what? I just subscribed. Keep up the good work. Your wife is pretty....
Thoughts on moving to Quebec but for American companies?
Sorry, no real concrete thoughts on it. What's your motives for moving and do those motives truly align with what Quebec can offer your company?
$50 CAD is $35 USD so for two that’s really affordable
Happy to hear from you, it was so helpful and encouraging, i am about to move snd live in Quebec, would you please let me know if there are any scope of HVAC jobs ???
Congrats on your pending move! That's fantastic. Unfortunately, your query is a bit too niche for our us, however we would advise checking the local job boards in Quebec.
Truth. I'd like to move back up there and do journeyman printing work, but again so niche. My blood is from there I need to find a way back.
@@chrislemery8178 Let us know if you do. That'll be a good story.
Woow thanks for this video
You're welcome! Where are you writing from?
Not all photos match the neighborhoods.
That's true. We couldn't find all matching neighborhoods at the time.
Thanks for the advice.
You're welcome.
I'd like to go visit one day. I prefer the west coast, but it would be nice to be out east.
Yea, you could live on the west and vacation on the east. 😊
If you don't speak english, you will not find a job in Saskatoon. If you don't speak french, you will not find a job in Québec.
What about finding work for English speakers?
Good Luck ... you'll need it.
@@boink800 So it's THAT bad? Oh well, at least you're being honest 🙂
Nice video 👌😊!!!
Thank you 🙏 😊
How to move to Canada sir without higher education or work experience
Hey Ibrahim, Canada's government website is really robust. You should be able to find answers to your exact interests there. www.canada.ca/en/services/immigration-citizenship.html
It feels like you should live there to be able to give advice about moving to the Quebecois nation. It's not like the rest of Canada where American lifestyle really applies. Not being able to name neighborhoods kinda reveals you don't know what you're talking about.
i like to live in Quebec,1 hour travel from downtown,, just one room, solo person.. how much is the rental? thanks. mr.blue
A shared apartment? A 1 br apartment outside of the city center could be as low as $450 CAD. You might be able to get even cheaper if you rent a room in a large house and have roommates.
Expats Everywhere thanks for your fast reply.. oh thats good,, $ 450 cad 1 bed room shared apartment.. not outside city,, just a one hour travel from downtown.. much cheaper if its a large house with room mates.. thats fine.. but how can i connect to the house owner? address,, phone? so i could talk to them.. hope you can reply,. thank you Sir/ma’m... mr.blue
MR. BLUE you’re welcome. To clarify, the $450 CAD is for a one bedroom apartment for yourself that’s located outside of the city center. You might find the same price or cheaper in a shared property where you have housemates. For the second part of your question, it could be valuable to join expat groups on Facebook for people in Quebec and post there that you’re looking for a room in a shared house.
Expats Everywhere you suggest that i join expat group on facebook,, ok i try to search their facebook.. thank you so much..
@@bluestar1740 Both, but those expat groups are great for networking. You can get in there (an expat Facebook group) and ask people if they know about a room to rent.
Hi is it easy to find a job especially in healthcare if you don’t speak French? Thanks
ABIGAIL OLIVIER we’ve been told and also seen on official sites that you’ll need to speak French.
Bluntly, no. You might, but no. :)
There is a massive shortage of healthcare workers in Quebec, they are really screaming out for them. In Montreal, maybe you could get by in English but in the rest of Quebec you really need French. The good news is that the Quebec government sponsors French classes to help you out.
Nice video
Thanks 🙏
How can get work visa plz tell me sir
You must get a job offer first.
@@ExpatsEverywhere ok thanx sir you have some information tell me
Québec City winters are brutal they start basically in November and go to April.
It's minus 10 to minus20 most of the winter.
People only speak French. Language laws don't permit working in English.
Denis Santos Thanks for the additional information. 🙏
@@jpquebec123 Thanks for the clarification.
Weatherwise, you are right, language wise, you are completely wrong. Obviously, you do not know Quebec law. I'm from Quebec and I don't only speak french, I speak 4 different languages and I work in any of them regularly. Local population speaks french, so indeed, you are expected to speak french as well. Would you expect to work in english in Moscow? Didn't think so.
@@glaframb So basically you are saying he's right in saying it is false that you can't work in english in Quebec ( i know, lots of negation in there).
@@bremexperience I live in Quebec, educated in English, worked in the gouvernement of Quebec exclusively in French for 27 years.
Obviously you don't know the workings of "loi 101", tu connais pas vraiment la de la francisation. Mais en général les gens traite les nouveaux arrivées avec respect.
Only a few of the pictures you showed to intro the different sectors were actually from the neighborhoods you described. You used upper town's Carre D'Youville for Limoilou, some St-Sauveur pictures for Cap-Rouge, etc... COME ON! One 40 minute car ride and you could have gotten the right ones to post... NOT professional at all.
PS: Le VIEUX QUEBEC or OLD TOWN is BOTH St-Jean Baptiste AND inside the wall.. Inside the wall is really called the Quartier Latin or Latin Quarter.
You are NOT a very reliable source of information.
Hey sorry. These were just general b-roll from Unsplash. This video was a part of a series where our audience picked the city that we put together information about moving to, living in, and working in. There was no 40 minute card ride available. It would have been a several hour flight just to be turned down because the Canadian border was close due to you know what. All of the information here is sourced from reliable sources such as government websites, or from locals/expats that we know.
Nice video, but Kalie needs to speak slower.
Thank you. Thanks for the feedback! - Josh & Kalie
Yay Letterkenny!
FINALLY!!! Thank you!!! We know, it was a low budget spoof but we couldn't resist. - Josh & Kalie
Bill 96 passing is just a big No.
i am a moslem and I have plan to move there this year, is it muslim friendly? is there a moslem community there? thanks in advance.
I don't know of any Muslim communities in Quebec, but there are many in the Middle East. Perhaps it might be a good idea to consider a move there rather than a community that wishes to remain European. I'd think hard on that.
Well.. they lied. First location they called it Limoilou but the photo is the d'Youville Square. They talked about St-Roch who is down the hill... Hotel Louisbourg is in the old city on top of the hill... etc etc
It's not about lying, we didn't certain photos matching the places. The names of the places is the information no the pictures.
@@ExpatsEverywhere Good videos put good pictures. That's a fact!
@@simonbelanger9078 Ok.
Beauport is pronounced *bopor*
Montcalm is pronounced *monculm*
You guys have to check Google translator to hear it if y'all don't speak french
Thanks.
Vous êtes cool!! :)
We'll take that as a compliment! 😎
You just live there for a small amount of time and speaking so many false things trying to get views lol. Dude stay there for at least 10 years to speak about it.
Way too cold
Quebec City is way too cold for Merry Christmas? 😁
Saludos desde Colombia!
New subbie here,
Thanks, Garfield and Neka.
Who would do such a dumb choice
Probably actually go there next time. What a load of garbage!
We did go there. We just didn't film there. All the data is aggregated from a variety of sites.
Joshua and Kalie : Jewish house flippers.
Hmm 🤔 - Josh & Kalie
You have to know French!
Ok!
Can’t I just illegally enter Canada 🇨🇦? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 😅
No we don’t want u
Yes, swim
The problem with Quebec is that it is full of people speaking French.
Aww, that's harsh. 😂
It depends on your perspective ;-)
I did live abroad and could say the same for Japan or Hong Kong 😂
But in general, if you do have this attitude re: foreign language (unless you meant it for French only...) I’d suggest you stop looking for expat videos... foreign language is usually part of the expat experience...
What a stupid comment, don’t come here then if you don’t like French-speaking people because we’re here to stay whether Angryphones like you like it or not lmao
Any girl who live in quebec city and unmarried give me reply
😂We're definitely leaving this comment up. All the best, Kala.
Tusi qubec city rehne o bhra?.???
I'm all for liberals moving out of the US! Trump 2020🇺🇸
Comment didn't age very well, did it? The liberal versus Republican mentality really seems to be serving well, isn't it?
Yeah Quebec isn't really a liberal paradise my friend. You don't know what you're talking about.
Yikes….do you have a personality outside of Trump? Probably not.
Guess who lost in 2020? Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
