I am planning to move to Montreal next year. I had a few tips from 30-something like the American expats.?
I am a 37 years old Woman – Single and childless. I've always wanted to live in a French speaking city, but I do not have my French after college stick, so I am far from fluid. My pronunciation is great, I know how to order food, ask for help in a store, etc. – basic stuff. However, it is only through, and I It would hate trying to "survive" in Paris. I chose Montreal because it bilingual, and frankly from that what I saw, a beautiful City. Please give me some advice on how much it would cost to make such a step – I live in Virginia – and a little insight into the labor market in Montreal. It's pretty bad where I live. I would also like to know about the night life, and what areas you can live and exclusively on public transportation (Subway all day !!!). By the way, I love the United States. I am sure that I will be back for a few days, the only thing I've always wanted to do, and the Life is short!
Now DivaSTating!, That's a long shopping list. Let's … see LANGUAGE The language issue is not a problem for you. You can live and work in Montreal and never a word of French. It all depends on what you do and where you hang out. As you will find friends and start socializing certainly Pickup enough French to make good use of them in a job. COST OF MOVE to move the cost really depends on what you expect in the contents of your current resources and Lifestyle. You're going to rent an apartment, buy a house or a condo to buy? I'm going on the premise work, will you rent an apartment and say that the Rental rates vary considerably depending on the region. For someone who is wanting to take seriously move here, then I recommend always coming up for a short holiday explore the village. Make a few friends on the Internet and get them to assist you in settling in when you arrive. As with all large cities there are many rent cultural ghettos, and so the housing price depends largely on where and what size you want to rent. Let's at for example, that a 1-bedroom apartment, here want to be known as the 3 1 / 2 (kitchen, bathroom, living room and 1 bedroom). And you would say to stay in a popular multi-cultural area just outside the city center with public transportation access, such as NDG (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce). They would seek to hire around 800 $ CAN per month. Then add on additional $ 100 per month electricity / heating / water (usually every 3 electrically driven). Then add $) 40 Phone (landline or mobile phone. Add another $ 50 cable TV. And I 'd say $ 100 per week for food for one person, then $ 400. And a bus pass is $ 65, I think. Thus CAN make $ 1455 per month, or about 1400 U.S. $. They must be involved on the "Add" is money. If using a 2 year lease or more characters, you can usually $ 50-100 per month cut off, if you know how to negotiate. But I would not do that until you know the city better and are really willing to stay in one place. JOBS The economy is fine. It could be better, but then it could always be better. It would be best to start looking for a job now than headhunters. If you are serious, can You e-mail me and I can tell you a list of Montreal headhunters. There are many English and English only company in Montreal, and many multinational companies have their offices here. Finding a job is not such a problem if you are competent in your field if you are a specialist at the Swahili translation of Sanskrit. KNIGHT LIFE Montreal is a Year party are in town for all age groups. I'm just a bit older than you are (early 40s) and am divorced and I and my friends always out partying. There are many Clubs and social venues. Meetup.com has organized many social and hobby groups in Montreal. Recreation is abundant, skiing is great. There are many artistic venues, Museums, romantic places, amazing restaurants, etc etc etc. In the summer it does not stop festivals and cafes are full until the wee hours. They are essentially in a miniature version of French Europe. The mentality of the people in Quebec is very different that the rest of Canada. We are more than passionate, more party Species. Montreal is not boring. In any case, that sums it up now. If you want more detailed answers, e-mail me, or specific issues in your future. All the best
