Travailler à Montréal

Bonjour, à toutes et tous
J'ai le souhait depuis plusieurs années de m'évader à Montreal, je me suis un peu renseigné sur les modalité de visa, mais c'est un peu un cercle vicieux, puisque en fait, il faut absolument trouver un boulot pour obtenir un visa et pour avoir un boulot en général on demande un visa.
Je suis pret à tenter une expèrience étudiante que ce soit à Mc GILL ou à l'université de Montreal mais il faut un diplôme d'anglais d'accés à l'université du type Toefle ou First mais à vrai dire je suis assez nul en anglais.
D'ailleurs celà représente une des raisons pour lesquelles je veux m'essayer à la vie Montrealaise. Cette ville me parait une bonne alternative pour apprendre l'anglais en douceur.
Au fait, j'aurais bien voulu savoir si il est possible de travailler dans le millieu de la communication Québècquoise pour un petit français comme moi qui n'a pas un niveau top en anglais mais qu'en je dis pas top c'est pas top du tout...
Enfin j'aurais voulu savoir simplement, si il existe des écoles véritablement enrichissantes dans le secteur de la publicité ou encore du travail.
Sinon j'aurais bien voulu connaître votre avis, vos suggestions ou encore mieux vos solutions.
Merci d'avance à tous.
Essaie de voir avec ton université s'il existe des echanges ou ententes avec une université quebecoise.
Effectivement, si tu veux etudier à McGill, il te faudra passer un test d'anglais, sinon tu devras suivre des cours afin d'atteindre un niveau d'anglais suffisant.
Si tu veux vraiment apprendre l'anglais par immersion, évite Montreal. Il te saura trop facile d'utiliser le francais lorsqu'une difficulté se presentera et en bout de compte tu ne maitriseras pas rapidement la langue.

En fait, je suis issu d'une formation qui n'a rien à voir avec l'université, j'ai un BTS celà correspond à un niveau de 2 ans après le CJEP (Bac + 2) et en ce moment je suis en 3eme année.
Dans ma ville il n'y a pas beaucoup de formation de ce type et encore moins de jumellage entre établissements d'enseignement.
Je me doute que Montreal ne permet pas l'immertion totale mais mon départ est aussi motivé par une envie d'émmigration, j'aime le mode de vie nord américain mais j'ai été d'autant plus séduit par la mentalité Québèquoise.
C'est pourquoi j'imagine que la ville de Montreal représente une formidable alternative pour se familliariser avec l'anglais.
Je comprends ta démarche de m'ouvrir les yeux sur certaines réalités mais je suis déterminé et désormais je cherche les bon plan pour partir en toute sérénité.
Donc, voilà, je solicite toutes les personnes qui aurait eu une bonne expèrience à Montreal, ou encore des Québècquois qui aurait des infos à me faire par.
Encore merci d'avance à toutes et tous.

Il est possible d'obtenir un visa d'une durée d'1an, non renouvable, cela s'appel un "PVT" qui veut dire: Permis, Vacances, Travail.
Il suffit d'aller sur le site ABM.Canada.fr ou . com et tu peut te laisser guider en douceur.
C'ast comme ca que je part le 13/09 pour une durée d'1an
Moi je suis a la recherche d'un job dans le batiment"plombier" si tu peut avoir des trucs.
J'espere que tu arrivera a mettre ton projet a terme et que, j'ai put t'aider un peut.

Comme tu peux voir c'est bcp plus cher pour les étrangers mais ça se fait. Je sais que de mon côté je vais étudier à l'étranger mais avec un échange interuniversitaire, comme ça j'aurai les mêmes frais qu'au Québec... Pour ce qui est du buget pour Montreal, ça dépend vraiment de ton rhytme de vie, es-tu excessif ou non?... J'ai aussi une suggestion si tu veux apprendre l'anglais. Il y a l'université Bishop's dans un petit patelin qui s'appelle lennoxville. La ville est principalement étudiante et agricole, il y a environ 10 à 20 000 habitants et c'est très majoritairement anglais, surtout si tu va en campagne. Le logement et la vie en générale est bcp moins chère alors il reste seulkement à voir si tu recherche la ville ou pas. Il y a aussi un collège anglais qui s'appelle Champlain dans la même ville, moins coûteux et pas vraiment besoin d'être top en anglais (je connais des gens qui parlent beaucoup moins bien en anglais que moi et qui ont étudiés 2 ans là-bas). Voilà donc leur site respectif.
www.ubishops.ca et http://www.lennox.champlaincollege.qc.ca/
Finalement je viens de me rendre compte que tu t'intéresse à la publicité en relisant ton premier message, dans ce cas je peux te dire que l'université de Sherbrooke (où j'habite) a une bonne réputation coté administration et marketing... D'ailleurs j'ai quelques vieux amis qui étudient là présentement alors si tu veux des infos directes je pourrais les contacter. Voilà aussi le site de cette université, qui est française en passant.

Fred - Je vais étudier à Bishop à partir de Janvier alors donne-des nouvelles si tu es dans le coin.

salut, merci pour les infos. en fait je ne sais pas si ton messages m'était destiné, parce que je ne parle pas de publicité!!
du coup tes infos m'ont été tres precieuses, personnellement je ne me vois que dans une grande ville dans un premier temps... mc gill me parait vraiment excellente comme université, c'est juste un probleme financier
en tout cas je me renseigne
merci pour les infos, à plus tard

Je crois que oui, il est possible pour un français de travailler en communications à Montréal, en autant que tu sois prêt à faire ta place. J'étudie présentement à l'Université de Montréal (UdeM) en communications et plusieurs de mes profs viennent d'ailleurs (France, Maroc, Afrique, États-Unis, etc.), mais ça reste un domaine très compétitif, comme partout d'ailleurs.
Pour ce qui est de l'étude de la pub, tu as plusieurs option. Il y a un diplôme de publicité à l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) qui est très populaire. Il faut avoir d'excellents résultats scolaires pour y entrer, c'est super contingenté. À l'UdeM, il y aussi un diplôme en pub, moins long (un an) qui s'appelle le certificat et c'est généralement assez facile de s'y inscrire... Ces deux universités francophones n'ont évidemment pas la même approche, mais ça c'est à voir dans leurs descriptions de programmes.
Je ne connais malheurement pas très bien les programmes de pub à McGill, mais je suis de l'avis de Nicky. Plusieurs de mes amis sont allés à cette université dans le but d'améliorer leur anglais et n'ont pas eu les résultats escomptés compte tenu du grand nombre d'étudiants francophones qui y vont.
Voici des sites qui peuvent t'aider à te renseigner sur les universités de Montréal:
UdeM: www.umontreal.ca
UQAM: www.uqam.ca
McGill: www.mcgill.ca
J'espère t'avoir aidé un peu, et surtout, pas trop tard!

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...
What price should I expect to pay for a modest small apartment or a large room in a bedroom community in Quito? Are restaurants and food expensive? And which airline is best to travel from Montreal? Thanks for your answers
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 there,
I’ve been living in Bali for a month now, but unfortunately on a VOA visa. I’m looking for a European company that’s set up in Indonesia. I’m in electrotechnical maintenance—air conditioning, cold rooms, 220V/380V electricity. I’ve been a tradesperson for 3 months and can bring my full professional toolkit. If anyone’s interested, let me know!
You can send me a message.

Hi there,
I’d love to go to Japan to travel, and if things go well, work there too. Has anyone tried finding a job there? Is it even possible without speaking Japanese? I’m thinking of starting out in restaurants (dishwashing or serving) and then moving into my field, IT.

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! ☺️
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?

I'm looking for an au pair who'd like to come to Bournemouth in the south of England, and I'd love to know what the best websites are to find one, please.
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?
Thanks in advance for your replies!

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,
