[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were also disappointed by McGill’s tuition increase, which is explicitly designed to discourage applications outside of the Province. Another thing is that your kid won’t be able to get a[b] part time job or internship in Montreal unless they are certified fluent in French[/b].[/quote]

I can't find any evidence of this. I found evidence that international students won't be able to get a work permit AFTER they graduate or else they speak basic French, but they can work while they are enrolled.

There is a new Quebec law about French in the workplace. French is emphasized as a language of work, there is a francization process with penalty for employers who do not comply...So employers would definitely much prefer someone who speaks French, or even require it.[/quote]

Yes, I'm aware of the new law but there is no evidence that employers cannot hire a student PT or for an internship who doesn't speak English. What you described is a preference not a legal requirement. My kid wants to learn French (already fluent in Spanish) and seems to be naturally good at learning languages, so I'm not worried.[/quote]
