Original post
Bonjour à tous,
Actuellement je suis en BTS communication, et je souhaite donc compléter mon BTS en faisant une année au Canada et plus précisément à Montréal.
J'aurai donc plusieurs questions😬 :
1/ le programme "certificat en communication appliquée" est-il intéressant ? (Sur la page facebook de la communauté des étudiants en communication, cette filière n'est pas bien notée)
2/ le test de français obligatoire pour l'admission à l'udem est-il difficile ?
3/ si vous connaissez ce programme à l'UQAM je suis preneuse de vos avis aussi.
Je vous remercie ! 😊
Salut,
J'ai complété ce certificat à l'UdeM, mais en 2003. Perso, j'ai trouvé le certificat intéressant !
Oui, le test de francais est assez difficile (alors qu'il s'agit de ma matière forte...)

Non, le programme n'a pas tellement changé les cours sont similaires à ceux que j'avais suivi. C'est quoi que tu cherches à savoir exactement? Pose des questions plus précises...

Par exemple, est ce que les cours sont vraiment que sur la base de la communication ou est ce que c'est quand même un peu plus poussé ?
(Pcq j'aurai un BTS en france en communication donc j'ai quand même quelques bases en com donc c'est pour ça que je voudrai savoir si le programme est vraiment complet et différent de ce que j'ai pu faire avec mon BTS.)
Après j'ai entendu dire que ce programme était très vaste et que ça permettait d'avoir plusieurs compétences (codage informatique, photo, publicité, ...), tu confirmes également ?
Et toi, du coup tu avais choisis quels cours et est ce qu'ils t'ont semblé complet et intéressant ? Et est ce que tu as regretté d'avoir pris un cours plutôt qu'un autre ? (Parce qu'il y en a tellement que je ne sais pas ce que je choisirai)
Je te remercie

Bien, ce sont différents cours dans le domaine de la communication. As-tu été voir la grille de cours du programme sur le site de l'Université? Car tout est là, y compris la description des cours:
admission.umontreal.ca/...ucture-du-programme/
Après j'ai entendu dire que ce programme était très vaste et que ça permettait d'avoir plusieurs compétences (codage informatique, photo, publicité, ...), tu confirmes également ?
Comme je l'ai dit, les cours sont mentionnés dans la grille, c'est à toi de sélectionner les cours qui t'intéressent...
Si tu as déjà un diplôme en France dans ce domaine, je crois que le programme de l'UdeM ne serait peut-être pas ce que tu recherches si ton but c'est d'avoir quelque chose de poussé (remarque je n'ai strictement aucune idée des cours en France, les niveaux, etc).
Il faut savoir qu'un certificat est conçu pour avoir une formation complémentaire à celle qu'on possède déjà. Par exemple, j'ai connu une fille qui était diplômée en nutrition, et qui faisait ce certificat pour développer ses compétences en comm afin de faire des séminaires, etc. sur le sujet de la nutrition. D'autres personnes (comme moi) veulent essentiellement explorer le domaine et apprendre des nouvelles choses.
Un certificat n'est pas une formation terminale. C'est un moyen rapide pour un adulte d'acquérir des nouvelles compétences, d'ajouter des cordes à son arc, etc.
Si tu recherches une formation plus poussée, tu devrais plutôt considérer le baccalauréat en sciences de la communication...Là encore, je ne connais pas tes objectifs, ce que tu recherches en bout de ligne, c'est dur de te conseiller. Je suis assez curieuse de savoir pourquoi tu viens au Québec pour étudier ce que tu as appris en France...?

Justement, j'ai bien regardé le programme de L'Udem et en quoi consistaient les cours, mais c'est dure de se faire une idée juste en lisant 1 petit paragraphe d'explication.
Après je constate que les appellations des cours du programme sont bien différents de celui de France donc c'est pour ça que je ne sais pas trop en réalité en quoi consiste les cours et si c'est vraiment autre chose qu'aves les cours que je fais déjà.
Cependant, avec ce que je comprends en m'informant du coup sur le programme grâce à leur site, je pense que les 3/4 des cours du programmes ont l'air bien différents de ceux d'en France, donc faudra que je me fasse une idée en y allant 😉
Je te fais une petite explication de mon objectif du coup 😄 : Je souhaite compléter ma formation en France donc 2 années de BTS avec une année au Canada. D'abord pour enfin connaître ce pays (c'est un rêve d'y aller) et deuxièmement pour avoir une expérience à l'internationale.
J'avais pensé à faire un baccalauréat (Canada) mais reprendre pour 3 années d'études ... franchement je me sens pas de reprendre du début (BTS n'est pas reconnu par les universités) Je voulais vraiment compléter ce que j'ai déjà en fait grâce à un certificat et d'ailleurs je trouve que cette possibilité de faire juste un an est plutôt cool.
Après si tu me dis que c'est vraiment pour avoir une formation complémentaire, ça doit être alors le programme que je recherche parce que c'est ça en fait. J'aimerai élargir mes compétences parce que je trouve que le BTS en France est assez restrictif et vraiment basé sur le communication de base (savoir faire un plan de com (analyse, problématique, positionnement, objectifs, cibles), réaliser des stratégies créatives (concept) et stratégie de moyens (actions qu'on recommande), relation commerciale, culture de la communication (théorie, ...)) et c'est tout 😕.
Qu'en penses-tu ?

Alors dans ce cas, je pense que oui, ce programme est conçu pour toi :) Au Québec, les cours sont plus axés sur la pratique que la théorie. En France, on vous bourre le crâne mais vous ne mettez pas grand-chose en pratique je pense...
Attention: en tant que Française, tu devras payer les tarifs des étudiants hors Québec, compte 5 000€ pour l'année.

Bon parfait alors 😄
Oui j'ai vu ça en faisant les simulations, nous sommes considérés comme étudiant hors Québec, c'est tout de même avantageux comparé aux étudiants considérés comme internationaux.
En tout cas merci pour toutes tes informations et d'avoir pris le temps de me répondre à chaque fois.

Hi everyone,
My name is Deborah, I’m French. I’m married and have two children. I’m a clinical psychologist specializing in psychotraumatology, and I’m also pursuing medical studies.
For some time now, I’ve been seriously considering moving to the United States. My long-term goal is to practice medicine in the U.S., with a particular interest in forensic pathology. I know the journey is demanding (USMLE, residency, fellowship, etc.), but I’m ready to commit to several years of hard work.
For now, I’m focused on building this project thoughtfully. I want to improve my English, better understand the American system, and connect with people who’ve already gone through this process or are living in the U.S.
I have a few questions:
- Are there any doctors or international students here who’ve successfully matched into a U.S. residency? - When did you start preparing for the USMLE? - What advice would you give to someone still in medical school? - Which states would you recommend for a future career in forensic pathology, with a good quality of life and good schools for kids? - Is it better to do an observership or a research fellowship before applying for residency? - What are, in your opinion, the pitfalls to avoid when planning such a project?
Thank you so much to everyone who takes the time to respond. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share!

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 there. I’m planning to move to Luxembourg around December 2025 or January 2026. I’ll be looking for a job and settling in. My question is: is it too complicated to find housing? Is the job market more advantageous and easier than in France? I’m open to any information that could help me.
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hi everyone,
I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences about marrying a Cuban and moving to Cuba (not the other way around!). Yes, some of us actually *want* to stay on the island! Is it possible to work there without too much hassle, or is it really complicated?
Thanks in advance!

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!
Cheers,

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! 🥺🏻
Thanks so much for your help and advice! ☺️

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.

Hi,
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! 😄
Hi everyone,
I’m heading to Dublin as an au pair in a few weeks.
I’m looking for a reputable language school. It’s so hard to choose! Has anyone already done a language stay in Dublin? Any tips? Thanks so much! :)
Hi everyone, so I’m planning to go study at a community college in the U.S., but the only snag is which one—there are so many options over there! I’ve heard about one in California, Diablo Valley College, and another in Florida, Valencia College. I know both states are super attractive for tourism, but my main criteria are teaching quality and price. I’m open to any advice, comments, or suggestions—thanks in advance! The start of the semester is coming up, and I’m a little nervous...
READY, SET...... GO...... TO YOUR KEYBOARDS!!!!!!!! lol

Hi! I’m looking for an apartment in Malaga from September (2025) until January for my Erasmus exchange, but I’m not finding much, and it seems like there are a lot of scams. Does anyone have any leads or tips? Thanks!^^
