Answer 2

Contrary to what most are saying Quebec is not the only place in Canada where it is primarily french.....Northern Ontario is very fluent in french...most towns up there don't speak English. You also have the the maritimes which are quite fluent in french...and of course there are some frenchies in the prairies (ie my family!).

Now having said that (since Canadians even seem to think it's limited to Quebec)....there are many cities which are primarily english speaking where you would have no trouble communicating and/or studying.

And then there is Toronto.....french and english are just a few of the hundreds of languages spoken here.

Hope to see you in Canada......it's a GREAT place to be!

Answer 3

Definitely, but you probably will want to live outside of the province of Quebec then. New Brunswick also has a lot of Francophones, so if you moved to a small town there it might be somewhat hard at first. Being in Canada is a great place to pick up some French, but many of the provinces are primarily English-speaking. Good luck and bonne chance.

Answer 4

I was born and raised in Canada and lived here for almost 70 years and cant speak a word of french and don't particularly want to either. Come and live and study and be a productive part of Canada.

Answer 5

Laurie and justcurious and Da ben dan are not quite correct as New Brunswick is officially bi-lingual and very much French speaking as well (as Quebec)(But the dialect is so different that many Quebecois find New Brunswick French difficult to understand). All universities are publicly funded in Canada. Many, many Americans and other foreigners enroll because they are substantially cheaper without loss of quality. Quebec has English as well as French universities, one of them, McGill, considered to be among the dozen best in the world.

Answer 6

Hello from Toronto:
I am born and raised in Toronto, Canada and I do not know how to speak French. So the answer to your question is NO you do not need to know the French language to study in Canada. Just stay away from the province of Quebec (they speak french) but the rest of Canada is English speaking.

Enjoy and welcome to Canada!!

Answer 7

You do not have to speak french to study in Canada..

Even in Quebec....as long as you stay in English part of Montreal

Suggest you study in other Provinces as there are so many excellent and top-notched Universities throughout Canada with no worries of having the extra problem of communication and having to speak French in Quebec..

Come to British Columbia......its great here!!.

Answer 8

Yes, absolutely.
Most of Canada is English-speaking. Even Quebecers speak English and most are friendly enough to use it if they realize you don't speak French.

Answer 9

Yes, you can. Although there are other areas of the country that french is spoken; english is predominant. Winnipeg Manitoba, for example, has 2 english speaking university campuses (U of Winnipeg and U of Manitoba) and St Boniface campus of U of M is french speaking. There are also colleges there in both languages...but english is spoken in most of Winnipeg.

Answer 10

Of course. Sadly, French isn't such a well known language throughout Canada as it should be. If you speak fluent English, you'll do fine where ever you go, even in Quebec.

Answer 11

Officially...you can't. You should be fluent in both languages: English & French.

In reality...there are lot of people living here for ages...and don't speak even English
