Dear Prathiyankara,

Hi,

I'm in the process of migrating to Quebec. I'm a single mother, my son is 4 yr old. Is it safe for single mother to live and which is the best place (city) to live in Quebec.

Hi friends,
I discovered this great forum while doing some research about Quebec. I have recently applied for Quebec immigration. However, I have a few questions and would be grateful if anyone could answer them.

I am 29 years old with finance background. My wife is 28 years old and a doctor. We have 1 year old son. I have a nice job in India and love my work. However, i am not too happy with the facilities and infrastructure. I do not want my son to grow up in India. Also I work long hours and not able to devote time to family. That is why I am now planning to move to Quebec where I hope working conditions will be better.

I'd like to hear about the Quebec experience from the forum members. I am willing to take a cut on my income but want a better living standard. In India, am currently earning about 250K CAD equivalent, annually. My wife doesn't plan to work and wants to take care of home and kid. I have very good savings. I want to know what kind of income should I expect in Quebec in first 2 years. Also, are you happy with the living and working conditions?
Also, more important, how are the educational facilities for kids? I can communicate in French (intermediate level). My wife doesn't know French yet but she will learn.

Also, which area of Quebec should be best to settle?

I plan to sell my property in Mumbai and buy one in Quebec. Is it advisable and how expensive is it?

Would appreciate your responses.

Thanks.

Living standard is definitely better . Less Pollution , Clean environment and negligible hassles in daily life . Most of the emloyees will tend not to make you work after 5 pm as they will have to pay a huge amount to you in that case . So no long working hours and if there you are paid handsomely . But better to make sure that you have a job before coming . If you know French , then you might not have problem in getting one even after landing here .. depends on whats the job market in your field .. you can check it here ...Page d'accueil | Welcome Page
Kids will be learning French in School . and education is without pressure . they have some of the best univesities like Mcgill ..
I came here in July and got a job in 5 days ..without french ..I am in IT ... but people say that is the lucky thing .. its too hard to crack market here .. as per other people ... I am still new to Montreal .... so this is as per my experience and what i heard . I dont have enough knowledge about other areas u asked ..

 

Thanks montreal2011 for your feedback about Quebec.

 

imii, did you have any luck with jobs in Montreal/Quebec? Please let me know how much of your immigration work is done.

I am in a similar position as you, 30, 3 year old, but i'm in IT.

Where did you learn French and did you get it tested?

Thanks,

 

montreal2011, nice to hear your experience. Hardly people post such helpful replies here. Thank You!
