Learning French
Throughout Quebec and in the North Shore, French is the dominant language, and being able to understand and speak French will enable you to integrate more fully in society as well as find employment. No matter how long you have previously lived in Quebec or if you are new to the province, you can always take classes to improve or develop your French language skills. The Quebec government through the ministère de l'Immigration, de la Diversité et de l'Inclusion offers a variety of different courses to improve or develop your French through part-time, full-time, and online courses. To find out more, visit https://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/en/french-language/learning-qu...
There are also French courses (“cours de francisation”) offered locally that are usually free for new arrivals; less recent arrivals who wish to improve their French may have to pay a small fee.
