Bonjour,
J'envisage de faire au CANADA( Montreal ou Toronto) un sejour linguistique(Anglais) pour senior( j'ai 54 ans).
Je souhaite rester sur place au moins 6 semaines.
Connaissez vous des ecoles de langues pour cours intensifs?
Et surtout un mode d'hebergement pas trop cher, qui me permet de parler Anglais
Je connais le CANADA que pour des vacances courtes durees. J'ai effectue 4 sejours de 10 à 15 jours chacun.
Merci d'avance FOGKQ.

Sid.
Tu peux regarder sur le comparateur de cours de langues qui propose des formations pour les 50+ avec possibilité d’hébergement. Sinon tu trouveras ici les écoles accréditées par Languages Canada. Ou finalement tu peux simplement regarder les cours proposés par http://www.esl.fr.

Bonjour,
C moi qui es a la recherché d'une personne pour mes Enfants je suis a Vancouver voila mon email sidbess@gmail.com
Merci.
bonjour,
je pars en janvier à Toronto avec ESL.
j'ai choisi l'immersion chez le professeur (hébergement et cours inclus).
je pourrai te faire un retour d'experience.
tout ce que je peux dire c'est qu'une fois les réservations faites (et acompte payé), on t'envoie plusieurs profils de professeurs :
1) tu apprends que les profs ne sont pas automatiquement des profs diplômés de l'état canadien, mais formés par l'école locale (apparemment pas mal de retraités et femmes au foyer) : donc c'est la grande aventure...
2) on m'a changé trois fois de profs 😠
3) une fois que ESL Paris a effectué ton inscription, le dossier est finalisé par ESL Suisse : je ne sais pas si c'est général mais la personne qui s'est occcupée de mon dossier est une grosse incompétente, complètement à la masse !!
et attention, ESL essaie parfois de justifier une augmentation de dernière minute à cause du taux de change ! j'ai eu gain de cause mais il a fallu hausser le ton.
j'ai eu plusieurs échanges avec ma "prof" qui par courriel paraît très sympa.
Attention aux cours de langues dans les écoles avec d'autres étudiants : mon ami qui a 45 ans est parti (toujours avec ESL à Bath UK : il n'a pas eu à s'occuper des formalités administratives car c'est son entreprise qui l'a fait au travers du DIF).
1) partir hors saison sauf à vouloir se retrouver avec des ados de 15 ans ! mon ami est parti en octobre : un peu frais mais son groupe était composé d'adultes de 25 à 50 ans environ.
2) il a eu de la chance car il faisait partie du meilleur groupe : 5 étudiants seulement !
alors qu'une espagnole (qui logeait dans la même famille que lui) faisait partie du groupe le plus important : les intérmédiaires. a priori pas facile d'émerger dans un groupe de 15 personnes.
mon ami a également pris des cours particuliers l'après-midi : c'est à cette occasion qu'il dit avoir le mieux progressé (mais c'est un peu plus cher)

Bonjour,
Merci pour ces infos, j'espere que ton sejour sera benefique et que tout se passera bien avec ton prof.
J' attends de tes nouvelles.
Je serais tres attentif au moment de l'inscription, si je passe par cette ecole.
Tu avais eu de bon echos de cette ecole? Tu as pris au hasard une ecole?
J'hesite entre Montreal et Toronto. C'est vrai que sur Montreal ils parlent Français et Anglais alors que sur Toronto ils parlent uniquement Anglais.
Bonnes fetes de fin d'annee, et bon sejour.
Combien de temps tu restes sur place? Ton budget est environ de combien?
A+
Cordialement Eric.

Bonjour,
En fait, j'ai connu cette école au salon EXPOLANGUES à Paris :
j'avais eu un bon contact avec cette école et aussi avec BOA LINGUA (le seul problème de cette dernière est qu'elle n'a pas de locaux à Paris, uniquement à LYON : ça m'embêtait un peu de tout faire à distance).
Pour cette année ESL a annulé les cours en immersion chez le professeur à Montréal sans me donner de raison. C'est pour cela que j'ai pris Toronto.
C'était ennuyeux pour moi car j'avais du temps et une location sur Montréal pour 3 semaines.
Mais finalement ce n'est pas plus mal ! on sera bien obligés de parler anglais.
1ère semaine à Montréal = vacances
2ème à Toronto = immersion chez le prof (mais on garde notre location à Montréal car la location à la semaine revient plus cher au final)
3ème à Montréal (semaine pendant laquelle mon ami prendra des cours dans une école)
budget location grand studio meublé tout compris (dont WIFI et câble!) environ 1200 euros pour 3 semaines (normalement c'est le prix pour 1 mois)
J'ai trouvé un AR de 370 € Paris Montréal avec Air Transat. Il y a des vols directs Paris Toronto à peu près dans les mêmes prix, mais il faut regarder régulièrement les hausses et baisses de prix.
A Toronto : cours d'anglais, repas et logement pour 1200 € sauf billet d'avion.
Voilà !
A l'année prochaine!
Alex
coucou je suis contente de rencontrer enfin une compatriote sur ce plateau international!!je vis à douala où je travaille comme rédacteur sinistre; je vis avec mes 02 enfants et leur papa!
As-tu finis ta procédure d'immigration?A quel stade en es-tu?Es-tu encore au Cameroun?
slt lyd
je suis a ottawa
je suis en fin de procedure
en fait je suis venue ici en tant que visiteur il ya quelques semaines. et jai fais ma visite medicale qui ma trouver sur place te payer les frais de residence. la jattends le retour de mon passport.
tu immigres pou quelle region du canada
si je peux t`etre utile n`hesite pas
portes toi bien
en fait je ne connais pas bien le pays, ottawa est une zone anglophone ou francophone?Je ne suis pas parfaitement bilingue j'opte pour une région frncophone comme le québec; et pourtant, j'aurai souhaiter que mes enfants aient une éducation anglophone. Que peux-tu me suggérer? Cependant, il se pourrait qu'il yait de très grande chances d'avoir une réponse positive pour les demandes de résidance permanente dans les zones anglophones?
Qu'en est-il de l'emploi? est ce que tu travailles malgré ta santé? ou vis-tu d'une épargne?
J'ai tellement de questions, peux tu me donner ton mail?
bonjour,
je suis de retour en France après mon séjour linguistique par l'intermédiaire de ESL :
- tout d'abord le séjour chez le "professeur" à Toronto avec ESL : quelques temps avant mon départ le professeur a été changé sans explication. donc je me suis retrouvée chez une femme au foyer, certes très cultivée mais incapable de m'expliquer une seule règle de grammaire. on ne faisait que parler quand elle en avait envie. tu me diras c'est le but mais on ne faisait aucun exercice.
et puis, quand elle en avait marre, elle commençait à cuisiner ou à dégager le devant de sa maison. le rituel de la famille le matin au petit déj est de lire tous les journaux et de ne pas parler. donc il fallait attendre que le mari (sympa) et la fille partent de la maison.
j'ai pas eu de bol car ma chambre non chauffée se trouvait au dernier étage et ma SDB privative était au sous-sol, non chauffée également.
autant te dire que mon feed-back à HLI et à ESL a été salé (l'école qui employait cette "prof" est HLI : Home Language International Ltd).
Mon ami a eu le même problème : changement de prof à la dernière minute car la sienne a fini à l'hôpital.
De l'aveu de sa prof (qui était beaucoup mieux), ils ont des "profs" de réserve qui reçoivent un ou deux élèves par an, et qui ne sont pas les favoris.
On va vous dire que ces profs sont formés par l'école etc. quand on reçoit le profil du prof, il faut vérifier sa profession : il faut que ce soit un prof permanent sinon mauvaise surprise pour moi.
Le point positif est que j'ai adoré Toronto que j'irai revisiter l'été.
- ensuite, mon ami avait des cours pour une semaine à Montréal à l'école ILSC. j'ai décidé de m'inscrire au dernier moment directement en me présentant à l'école. cela n'a posé aucun problème (250 dollars la semaine pour les cours le matin). après un test, on vous place dans une classe. le seul souci est que mon niveau est celui de la majorité. donc on était 12 dans la classe. mais c'était vraiment bien : entourée de jeunes coréens, mexicains, colombiens, japonais, thai. pas d'européens, donc dépaysemment total. le prof, un vrai prof, était génial, très drôle, efficace : arriver à nous faire des cours de grammaire et de prononciation dans la bonne humeur, sans lassitude et en rigolant (et en retenant), moi je dis bravo. le prof s'appelle NICHOLAS et est canadien anglophone (ses parents viennent de UK)
une semaine ce n'est pas suffisant. il faut partir au moins 1 ou 2 mois pour progresser significativement (les autres étudiants étaient là pour 6 mois)
il y a également des cours du soir que je peux être faire plus tard, mais aussi des cours en tête à tête avec le prof à l'école mais c'est beaucoup plus cher.
mon ami était encore plus content car son niveau étant plus élevé, le matin ils se sont retrouvés à 5.
voilà si tu as d'autres questions, je suis à ta disposition.

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 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!

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! 😄

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
