Knowledge of French

Knowledge of the French language is key to your integration and participation in Québec society. Upon your arrival in Québec, you will be immersed in a French environment. Activities like looking for housing, opening a bank account, enrolling your children in school, etc. will all take place in French.

Upon contact with Quebecers, you will quickly discover their openness, kindness and desire to communicate with you in their language. Your ability to express yourself in French will help you interact with them. You will then be in a position to build a network of contacts that will help you settle in and find your first job. It is therefore essential that you have a good knowledge of French before your arrival in Québec.

Your sponsor will certainly be able to help you from time to time. But why not give yourself the means to make your integration easier and faster ?

To improve and perfect your knowledge of French, enrol in a recognized French language school in your country.
