Maybe something like A and then pause Tish.
On a serious note if you are in IT you won't face much issues. Otherwise as well South Asians without fluent French work in their related occupation but the percentage is small.

Good Luck

the job market is only favorable for bilinguals

now that I am bilingual, there is a problem with my NON PURE LAIN NAME! what else my friend?

Not very sure but being bilingual helps a lot. Secondary school educator means Teacher, I guess. Lot of jobs but then you have lot of competition from natives. Good luck

Search Kjiji. We just crossed harsh winters. Public transport is allright. Rent is cheaper in comparison to other provinces. If you are coming by yourself look for shared accommodation to save some money initially

So when it comes to Teaching, did you check if your educational degree is accepted in Quebec ? If not, you might have to undergo more certification. But knowing French helps a lot, so you are in a good position except the non pure lain name & color.
But if you wear a religious head gear, you cant work in any public sector schools. ( After the Bill C-21, the xenophobia bill which Quebec will pass soon)

I partially agree with this post... If you are very fluent in English, you can still find good jobs with your B2 French. Don’t be fooled by the job requirements. If the job postings are written in both Eng and French, or your French is enough for completing tasks, apply anyway. You never know! I could still sell quite a lot of chocolate with my broken French in the past. And my current office job is 99% in English because a few colleagues focus on francophone tasks and my English is better than them.

If you are not fluent in either language, you really don’t have many choices. Take courses to improve your language skills.

I hope your doing ok cherti.

Frankly, I find it unpolite (to say the least) to tell people NOT to do what have been their dreams for possibly close to a decade, just because YOU are not fluent in French. Maybe you should have thought a bit more about it befrore...you know, going to a French-speaking region?

advices here are always welcome, you're message? not so much.

Good luck to everyone!

Hey, thats what he is trying to tell you and others. "IF", you cant speak French dont come to Quebec. As-tu Compres
