I've been offered to take part in an exchange program in Canada, more specifically in Quebec, I still don't know if I'll be sent to Quebec city or Montreal, those are the options.
Transportation there and housing are provided but I have to afford living there. What I'd like to know is how much money I would have to take with me in order to live decently. I would be staying there for a month. By the way, what is the equivalent for an American dollar there? I know you use Canadian dollars but I don't know how much they're worth in relation to an American dollar.
And last but not least, I'm going in February and my friends say it's extremely cold and that one can't be out in the streets much. Is it true? Any recommendations you may give me are welcome: tips,places to visit, things to avoid, anything.
Oh, I don't speak French will that really be a problem? I'm supposed to teach English to young Francophone children as part of the program, I will be aided though.
Thanks!!!!
