[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

Yeah, everyone in Montreal speaks English fluently anyway. [/quote]

Not true.  Maybe for young people but when we there in the summer there were older folks that I wanted to speak with that didn’t speak English, only French.  I was surprised!  [/quote]

haha. they probably just didn't want to talk to YOU[/quote]

It was just striking that people older than me said they couldn’t speak English and yet younger people were ok to.  It seemed generational.

For example, I wanted to buy a book in a store and they had to find a younger person to speak English with me. This was in a neighborhood 5 miles from McGill.

And all the signs and directions are in French.  I just expected it to be more bilingual and was a bit caught off guard that French truly is the primary language in Montréal.  [/quote]

You sound really ignorant and very American.[/quote]
