Salut,
Pour t'installer au Québec, il te faut un visa : soit un visa de touriste ( 6 mois ) soit un visa vacances travail ( 1 an ) soit un visa stage de perfectionnement ( 18 mois ) soit un visa temporaire ( valable autant de temps que l'employeur le voudra bien ) soit un visa de résident permament
Y as-tu déjà réfléchi ?
Le plus simple, c'est trouver un logement, ça peut se régler en une journée.
Maintenant pour le job, je dirais que ça dépend du domaine dans lequel tu travailles et que n'ayant aucune expérience québécoise, tu devras obligatoirement passer par la case " petits jobs " avant de trouver enfin dans ton domaine ( et ce si tu n'es pas médecin, kiné, dentiste, etc ou dans une profession qui dépend d'un ordre professionnel )

Va sur sur ce site pour les démarches www.immigrer.com ( fouille sur le site et inscris-toi sur le forum )
Si tu pars avec un visa vacances travail, stage de perf, visa temporaire, faut t'adresser à l'ambassade du Canada à Paris ( voir site web )
Si visa de résident permanent, il faut récupérer un dossier auprès de la Délégation Générale du Québec ( voir leur site ) pour la sélection et ensuite continuer les démarches auprès de l'ambassade.
Concernant ton job, ne sois pas inquiète...mais perfectionne ton anglais, c'est primordial.

Si tu veux bosser à Montréal, les bases ne te suffiront pas, j'insiste mais y a toujours moyen de prendre des cours à l'office des migrations internationales, chez les mormons ( c'est gratuit 🙂 )...
Maintenant hors Montréal, l'anglais est moins demandé.

Au Québec, on parle français effectivement mais dans les grandes villes comme Montréal, on bosse en anglais très souvent.
Vaste débat l'anglais au Québec mais quand on y réfléchit, le Québec fait partie du Canada ( 2% de francophones noyés dans un océan d'anglophones ). Le Québec est donc amené à travailler avec le reste du Canada et en anglais of course.
En Ontario, on parle anglais mais les personnes parlant français sont très recherchées dans les jobs.

Salut magalie,
je confirme, pour tout les emplois dans le secteur publique, tu devras connaitre tres bien l'anglais ( a Montreal du moin...). En region, tu auras probablement moin de difficulte.

En réponse à Mariavoyage: ce ne sont pas les cours d'anglais qui sont gratuits pour les nouveaux arrivants au Québec, mais bien les cours de français.

Bonjour Shaina et bienvenue dans le club des fans du Canada.
Pour t'aider il faut savoir que l'ambassade du Canada en France organise assez souvent des réunions d'informations pour les gens interressés par l'immigration. C'est trés bien fait, tu peux trouver des renseignements sur leur site www.amb-canada.fr
et voici également un site pour faire un test d'évaluation qui te permet de vérifier si ton profil correspond à ce que le Canada est prêt à accueillir : www.cicgc.ca/francais/qualifie/evaluer/index.html
Bonne chance 🙂
Salut
oui tu a raison le cours d'anglais n'est pas gratuit il en coute à peu près 45$ pour le cours de base.Il est donner à québec par RIRE 2000 un organisme qui aide les immigrants.
le bonheur c'est comme le sucre à la crème, quand on en veut on s'en fais
Les visas de travail c'est des formalités, pour l'appartement, tu en as un a un Km de Québec si tu veux, soit chez moi et mes gentils compagnons... on adore les gens et quand ça bouge, avons un grand appartement avec une Chambre libre...
on s'est annoncé sur couchsurfing.com mais ya peu de gens qui viennent a lévis en touriste, je crois. c'est pourtant a 1 km de Québec (soit l'autre coté du fleuve St-Laurent... avec un ferry aux demi-heures)
voila... si tu cherches une piaule, des gens pour te faire découvrir un peu Québec, tu peux me réécrire, à

Bonjour,
Je suivais la discussion entre Shaina972 et toi quand j'ai sursauté à l'info des cours d'anglais gratos chez les Mormons : excellent ! Je suis moi-même actuellement à Montréal et me gratte la tête régulièrement en me disant : " oui, mais comment faire maintenant pour l'anglais ? " Je souhaiterais en effet bien me remettre à l'anglais que je pratique de façon basique seulement puisqu'il est bon de savoir alterner entrer les deux langues au Canada et parler l'anglais impérativement dès qu'on sort du Québec. As-tu plus d'infos ?
Merci d'avance

Bonjour,
Je recherche des vrais témoignages de personnes adultes étant partis en séjour linguistique au Canada à Vancouver ou Toronto.
Il y a tellement d’écoles différentes et des avis qui sont négatifs comme positifs (comment savoir si ce sont de vraies avis ?!) que je préfère avoir de réels témoignages.
Je recherche des cours ludiques dans lesquels on progresse vraiment à l’oral et au niveau de la compréhension.

Hi everyone,
I’ve got a job offer in Cebu and I’m currently negotiating the financial terms...
For those of you who are experienced or expats there, could someone help me evaluate the cost of living so I can get an idea of my monthly budget?
- Rent for an apartment or small house (2 people) - Miscellaneous expenses: utilities, electricity, phone, internet, insurance - Local taxes or fees?
Thanks for your help, tips, and experiences!

Hi,
I’m leaving on September 4th for Vancouver as a tourist for 6 months.
My boyfriend works there, so I’m going to visit him. I’d like to take the opportunity to learn English at a school during October and November.
Could you recommend any schools—price, activities, location, reputation, etc.?
Also, any good health insurance suggestions?

Hi! I’m 76 and have traveled a lot in my life, and now I’m looking to settle in Réunion.
I’ve seen a retirement community in Saint-Pierre (Ravine des Cabris) and a residence called Village d’Or in Sainte-Clotilde. I have a feeling that living in Saint-Joseph might be better. I’ve submitted both applications and would love your thoughts—also if you know of any friendly small residences for rent, or if you have experience living there.
My pension is 1,460 €.
Thanks so much for your help! Looking forward to hearing from you—warm regards to everyone

After living for many years in the West (Belgium, Italy, Switzerland),
I’ve decided to return and settle in Cameroon, my home country.
Currently an entrepreneur in real estate and transport, I’m looking for a partner / partners / foundation to collaborate on an agriculture project, as I own 10 hectares of land.
The hectares have remained unused for years due to a lack of financial means, since the project requires what I’d call a considerable investment. As the main stakeholder, I have a minimal contribution to offer.
I believe it’s time to bring this space to life to meet pressing needs and serve the common good of society.
The project is simple:
1) Grow maize + build a processing plant to produce flour
2) Open a mini supermarket + a modern bakery using the flour for pastries, etc.
3) Build a healthcare service
4) Build a nursery and primary school
5) Construct free housing for retired expatriates in exchange for their voluntary contributions in their respective fields.
This is a project I truly believe in, and I invite anyone interested to add their personal touch—whether through advice, guidance, or involvement.
Note: This project has national and international potential in terms of employment.
My slogan: To be visibly useful to society
You’ve got to dare, even if it makes you tremble.

Hi everyone, my son’s school is offering him a one-month Erasmus trip to Ireland, but he has to find a junior cycle school that will accept him and a host family on his own. Honestly, we’re struggling—we’ve contacted two schools and haven’t heard back! If you have any leads...

Hi there,
I’m considering moving to Miami to live and work for a few years.
If anyone knows what the administrative formalities are—both for getting a work permit and for the steps and reputable organizations to contact (since I imagine there are scammers in this space) when buying a studio in Miami or Miami Beach—I’d love any info you can share!
Have a great day

Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Bangkok for a 5-month internship, and I’m wondering about the budget because I’ve read all sorts of things—so I decided to post here to get answers tailored to my situation! :D I found housing that costs me 7,000 baht (I know it’s a bit pricey, but it’s super convenient...), which works out to about 160 € all-inclusive. So, I was wondering if it’s realistic to live on 500 or 600 € per month, and if so, under what conditions? Is that enough, considering I’ll be working 40 hours a week?
Thanks in advance for your replies—I hope they’ll reassure me!

Hi everyone,
WEP offers loads of different projects, including one I really like: helping and volunteering on a farm, particularly in South America (Peru or Argentina).
I’d love to know if anyone has tried this project or knows someone who has... or has done something similar? I’d like to get some feedback before diving into the adventure.
If so, could you share your thoughts on the project, any tips, etc.?
Thanks to anyone who replies!

Hi there,
Our departure time is getting closer (we have less than 2 years left—it’s both a long time and so short!). To start preparing seriously, we’ll need quite a bit of info. If anyone knows the rates charged by movers for a crate to French Polynesia, or what pitfalls to avoid (I know you can get quotes directly from movers, but I’d love insights from actual customers😉).
Are there any special requirements before leaving France (aside from taxes...)?
Thanks to everyone for your help—every bit of info is useful. We’re aiming for a departure around 06/2010 (just need to save up a little more...). Thanks again!

Hi, I’m a self-employed physiotherapist in France, and as my wife (a nurse) and I look into working abroad in about two years, I’ve been offered an equivalence to become a respiratory physiotherapist in Switzerland. Actually, I’m currently doing a postgraduate diploma in pediatric respiratory physiotherapy and want to specialize in that area. Anyway, that’s not the main point—could anyone explain the pros and cons of doing this job in Switzerland? Based on the paperwork I’ve received, the equivalence seems purely administrative or almost... What about working conditions, quality of life, salaries, etc.?
Thanks for your replies. PS: Same question for my wife, a nurse, regarding her integration.
Thanks, Nicolas and Bérengère

Hi everyone!
I’m looking for information about jobs in early childhood in New Caledonia. I’m currently a childminder in a MAM (multi-accueil) and I’ve also worked for about 6 years in several daycare centers as a childcare assistant. In the summer of 2026, my husband is being transferred to New Caledonia. We’ll be living near Nouméa. Do you know if the early childhood sector is a good field for jobs there? Can’t wait to discover this island! Right now, we’re in the middle of all the administrative paperwork for our 3 kids, finding housing, bringing our cat to the territory, and so on! Thanks for your feedback!!

Hi everyone!
I’d like to move to Spain, specifically to Málaga. To do that, I’d like to know if I’ll need any official documents from France to work there, or anything like that... I’d also love to hear from people who’ve moved to Spain for work—do Spaniards like the French? Is it hard to fit in? What are the salary ranges for a ready-to-wear salesperson? And is it easy to find housing?
Thanks! 🙂

Hi everyone! 👨🏾🤝👨🏻
My partner and I currently live in Antibes—we’re both freelancers working remotely. We’re thinking about potentially moving to Italy.
We’d like to settle near the French border, between Ventimiglia and San Remo (this is important because we need access to Nice Airport twice a month). ✈️
I’d love to hear about life in this region! We’re looking for a quiet spot close to the sea. Any recommendations? As for the paperwork, is it difficult to get everything official? Is finding housing tough in this area? What kind of guarantees are usually required? If any kind soul could shed some light on this, we’d really appreciate it! 🥺🏻

Hi everyone,
I’d like to get some information about my eligibility for the DV Lottery.
About my background: • I earned a *Bac Pro* through VAE (*Validation des Acquis de l’Expérience*), issued by the *Éducation nationale*. • I also have a professional certification as a *Conseiller en Insertion* (Employment Counselor), issued by the Ministry of Labor. • Altogether, this adds up to a *Bac+2* level.
I’d like to know if this level qualifies me to apply for the DV Lottery.
Regarding my work experience: • I work as an *Employment Counselor*. • I checked on O*Net Online for the classification: Job Zone 4, SVP Range: 7.0 – <8.0. • I only have one year of experience, but I handle similar tasks in business creation.
So my question is: can I apply for the DV Lottery despite my relatively short experience, given that my job falls under Job Zone 4?
Thanks in advance for your answers and advice! !

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for info on villages around Aix, like Fuveau, Bouc-Bel-Air, or even Éguilles and Venelles? We’re a couple with a child living in the Paris region, and I’ll be relocating to Aix-en-Provence in spring 2026. We’d love to swap our apartment for a house with a pool within 20-30 minutes max of central Aix, with a budget of around 650k €.
In terms of climate and geography, I’ve read that Aix is in a basin where it can get really hot. What about the surrounding villages that are a bit more elevated, like Venelles? Is it just as stifling?
For a family, which area would you recommend?

Starting this spring, we want to settle near Aix-en-Provence. We're tired of living in the mountains with all the snow—we really need some sunshine and a fresh start. Is it hard to find a house to rent there? What about prices? If you have any great tips or useful info about the area, we’d love to hear it. I work in education and want to do prevention work in Marseille or Aix—are there jobs in the social sector?
Anyway, we need tons of info, but we’re sure we’re going to take the leap—no hesitation, adventure is adventure!!! Thanks for your help and any experiences you can share.

I’m an osteopath and I’d like to set up and open an osteopathy practice in Thailand. I don’t have a precise location in mind yet, but I’m thinking maybe Hua Hin. I saw there’s an osteopath based in Phuket, so I wrote to him for some info, but he still hasn’t replied🤪!
So I’m reaching out to people who live there or know the country well: I’d like to know what the best ways are to advertise and get known in Thailand. Are there any local classifieds newspapers? First, I’d like to practice from my apartment. Is that allowed in Thailand? Ideally, I’d like to work part-time in a private hospital as an osteopath. I’m thinking that in Thailand, the medical field is much more open than in Europe!!! Has anyone seen an osteopath or chiropractor working in a Thai hospital? Do you know the price of a consultation?
Any info you can share will be super helpful! Thanks in advance[;)!!!]

Hello everyone,
We’re a small family from the south of France, with a 2-year-old little boy, and we’re dreaming of starting a new adventure abroad by opening our own business. For now, we haven’t chosen a specific destination yet.
We mainly speak French, with a basic level of Spanish and English, and we’re ready to improve these two languages if needed. We’re looking for a multicultural, safe country with quality healthcare and good schools accessible for our son. We’d also love a pleasant place with a mild climate where life is good.
Our idea is to travel to different countries to explore, compare, and refine our project. We’d be really happy to read your tips, experiences, or anecdotes if you’ve already undertaken a similar project or if you know key points to anticipate.
Thanks in advance for your shares and help—it would really help us move forward with our project! 😄
