Applying for Express Entry while living in Montreal

[Sepide]

Hello everyone,
I'm a recent PhD graduate from the University of Calgary, now moving to Montreal for my postdoctoral training.
I was hoping to apply for my permanent residency after finishing one year of postdoc (hopefully to be considered one year of job experience). But, now I heard from friends that I won't be able to apply through express entry program when living in Quebec because I have to show intention of living anywhere else than Quebec for EE program. Is that true?
Also, if I want to apply through Quebec program, I need an advanced French to score in the test they need and I don't know any French. So, it will take quite a while for me to reach that level of French.
Please advise me if you know about this matter.
I really appreciate if you can help me and tell me which program I should apply and which I shouldn't.

Thanks

You can apply but you have to convince CIC you'll eventually move to another province, otherwise your application will be rejected.
