I want to move to Canada, but can't decide on weither to move British Columbia, Quebec or Ontario?

Question

I'm looking to speaking with people who live in either providence. I currently live in North Carolina with my girlfriend, recently moved from California. I love big cities, and looking to move to a bigger city. I actually want to move to a french speaking or more french speaking country. Since I studied so much of it and love the language. I don't speak fluently but I'd say I'm "intermediate" level and can understand enough to get by. But I really want to learn it fluently. I want to move to a colder place. I absolutely hate the heat and love the snow, a bigger city, a place I can speak french all the time and be married to my girfriend.

Answer 1

If that's what you want the Quebec would be your answer. Move to Montreal.

Answer 2

Providence means fate. A province, however is a political-geographic division. (There are also 3 territories in Canada).

If you like French, then move to Quebec. There simply aren't the same opportunities in B.C. or Ontario. B.C. is so far-removed from Quebec and there is a lot of anti-French, anti-Quebec sentiment there, and there's a fair amount in Ontario too, unless you're in Ottawa, which is bilingual by both being the capital where French is a great help, and as it's a city right on the border between Ontario and Quebec.

Montreal might be a good place for you as you can get by with English, but definitely have the opportunity to learn and communicate in French.

If you want immersion, go to Quebec City, or basically anywhere outside of Montreal, but within La Belle Province.

If you have guts and are willing to stick it out, I'd say move to Quebec. It's very beautiful too. It's older than any city in the U.S., so has a long, rich heritage.

Answer 3

I would say Montreal is the right place for you. People speak both languages and there are plenty of plsces where you can learn french. Weather would be good for you. There is usually much snow in the winter, and there are close ski areas north of Montreal where people can go for a day. Quebec City is also a good choice but is a smaller city.
If your motivation is learning to develop your french language skills, Quebec is better than Ontario and B.C.

Good luck in finding the right place

Answer 4

I have never been to British Columbia so I can't speak about it, but I have traveled to the other two places. I think, the Ontario area is more friendly and pleasant to visit. I found Quebec an interesting place, but many of the local people are rude to Americans, which seems to be true of the French speaking people in general. They do not like Americans. maybe if you spoke French it would be alright. Quebec is very beautiful as far as architecture and landscape go, but I was turned off by the crazy driving, speeding in the city, disrespect and crudeness. You judge for yourself, through.

Answer 5

I think you just made up your mind in your own question. It sounds like Québec would be the perfect place for you. It's a lot colder than N. Carolina and if you move to Québec, you'd be fully immersed in the French language. You'd pick up the Quebecois accent and increase your fluency by far (but I also recommend you take classes in Québec to improve your french). Since you love big cities, Montréal is the perfect city. It has over 1.5 million people and a great night life. Don't worry TOO much about the French language in Québec, because many people also speak English (but not everybody is "fluent"), since they're surrounded by English-speaking provinces and states.

Answer 6

From your objectives as desired, I would definitely suggest Montreal, Quebec. There you can learn all the French you want( they will love you for it), enjoy a very vibrant multi-cultural city with many attractions. snow , yes, they get a fair bit and the skiing is wonderful at Mt. Tremblant. It is not to far to Quebec City where old world charm can be enjoyed. Montreal is famous for its smoked meat and clubs.

Answer 7

Hype, your father is right, and as your coming to study at the University, I have to tell you that it's a little more expensive on the west coast, like Vancouver. I am not going to go on about visa regulations as the others have made mention. One thing I will tell you, if you want to fit in with the general campus community, is be yourself, don't try and make out that we or the world owes you guys, because we don't. For me to mention that, it must mean we have had experience with some factions of American visitors, specially over here in the east. You get the general gist of it.

Answer 8

If you want to speak french all the time and you love the cold then Quebec is your province. It is that province's official language and the reason that alot of anglophones left the province.

Answer 9

If you don't mind the winters, try Montreal. Only Quebec City is more French, but it isn't as cosmopolitan.

Answer 10

You'll find more French speaking people in the province of Quebec.
Very few in Ontario or BC.
