In çanada 10millions ppl speak French ?

1. High Taxes\n2. Language (English & French)\n3. Weather \n4. Free/Not free healthcare\n5. Tipping\n6. Open Liquor \n7. Different Lifestyles\n8. Multiculturalism \n9. Transit\n10. How nice Canadians really are

Et, pour les 8 millions de Québécois de langue francaise, le reste du Canada est aussi différent que les USA! Sorry Drew, but you should visit Québec to see how different we are than the rest of Canada and the USA. We watch our own Québec TV shows, work and live in French, have our own Québécois singers - Céline Dion est well known, but who of you know: Ginette Reno, Les Cowboys Fringants, Bruno Pelletier, Robert Charlebois, Isabelle Boulay and hundred of others? You mentionned poutine, which was created over 50 years ago in a small Québec village. But what anglo Canadians knows about : tourtière, pâté chinois, grand-père dans le sirop, etc.? Voilà! Et, Merci pour tes vidéos, je les aimes bien. :)

Looks Like Im Gonna Eat Poutine\nCoz I Love French Fries

I'm a Filipino applying for work visa in Quebec Canada,i had already experienced harassment,racism,bullying from my French Class Instructor during my online class,now i'm afraid to go to Canada

Canada is bilingually French speaking. So, how dare you !

Hey I'm 19 years old I pass 10 I don't know anything please help me out I want to work in Canada I don't know French I don't know anything

Montreal is Canada's second largest city after Toronto and both cities are actually very similar. You do need French to survive but you can get away without it especially in downtown Montreal because most people are perfectly bilingual. Our metro (subway) is the third busiest subway in North America after Toronto and New York. The city itself is very vibrant and ethnically diverse. Unlike Vancouver or even Toronto, there are always activities to attend especially in the summer. Most of our music festivals tend to be free except for Osheaga which is the Canadian Coachella!

I’m French. My parents want to leave the country and they’re currently finishing the last details before we move to Canada. This video made me a lot less stressed about it. Thanks!

Um... (1) Living in Alberta, I pay overall less tax than someone in my tax bracket living in California. We don't all have high taxes. (2) Montréal is allo-lingual, and probably 80% able to speak English in its core. Quebec City is primarily French. (4) We have publically funded, not free, healthcare, and regulated pharmacare, private eye and dental care (5) you typically tip anyone who provides you a personal service - you should include valets, housekeeping, consierge services, porters and anyone who provides exceptional service. Get out of Vancouver, Canada is big.

Just pretend you don't speak French

'Eh...' \nI'd guesstimate 50% for taxes here in the US as well as Canada - and probably ('almost') anywhere else. \nOnly Quebec is known to be the French speaking area. \nIt's kinda obvious healthcare doesn't include mediations. \nIt's disrespectful to expect tips. \nOH, so you admit to Canadian 'cops' as being corrupt. Nothing new.

I went to both public and private schools in quebec. In public schools there was a huge amount of racism, especially from the French Canadians. Private schools were a lot better.

I’m fluent in french and English soooo yay ?

Hi Bro,\nThanks for your detailed video about Canada PR. it is very useful.\nWhat is the minimum scores required for TEF or TCF? (Apart from IELTS if we opt for French test)

Hey guys, what are the job opportunity for french language speaker there

Bro \nAre you even from Canada? \nSome REAL TIPS \n1) Canada is expensive as fuck. Good luck on a minimum wage job. Don’t bother coming if you don’t have degrees because with such little population jobs are extremely competitive \n2) doctors visits and emergency rooms don’t cost anything upfront but do expect an 8 hour wait or 12 in a big city. Doesn’t matter what your “emergency” is... get in line. We have the longest waits in the world for things like X-rays and MRI’s. True story look it up. \n3) we have the most expense cell phone plans in the world with the shittiest coverage. In all fairness we have a small population and a massive landmass. \n4) if you’re moving to BC, car insurance is government run. So it’s extremely expensive (I think also the most expensive in the world) and it’s awful... so don’t ever get into an accident) other provinces don’t run this way. \n5) gas in BC is also very expansive because of multiple taxes, it’s affordable most places in the prairies though \n6) drinking is 18+ everywhere except BC where it’s 19+ \n\nSo if you want to live somewhere “nice” move to BC. but you’ll be poor as fuck. \nWant to live somewhere affordable, move to the prairies but it’s awful. \nYou can’t move to Quebec if you don’t speak French fluently. Toronto is okay and you won’t fit in anywhere in the eastern islands so don’t even bother. \n\nThe end.

they hould do the same with hiring english and french in canada

A French woman seeking refugee status! Based on what factors???

We plan on moving this year and im terrified to go to school in quebec and not fit in causey french skills are dkcnkdncfo

English Canadien do not know how to make a poutine french canadien does in Quebev we are not Canadien we are quebecois

French Canadians are native people of Canada and not just recent immigrants. French Canadians, especially Québécois, are a part of Canadian culture but their culture is also very different. Its the same situation with African Americans in the US.

Hello \nHow can you search your english and french language test

I have made up my mind that when i rich there, i have to search for construction site am a Cameroonian also can speak both English an French

Montreal is bilingual! You're fine if you move here with limited French abilities. Not the case for the rest of the province, however.

I don't think of Montreal as primarily French speaking at all. To be able to get a decent job in Montreal, you are pretty much required to speak English. I switched to English a lot whenever I was in Montreal. My husband, who does not speak any French, was able to receive service wherever we went in English. The rest of Quebec is a different story, though.

You’re telling me Canada is worse than America 10 years he hasn’t learn English maybe he will learn French in Canada

15% of the Spanish speakers are scattered and have limited political power. French is official in Canada and the French speakers have quite a bit of political power.

People here in the comments are upset because the guy doesn't speak english but...who said he didn't? lmao. Maybe he is speaking spanish because he's talking to a bilingual journalist and it's easier for him. I speak french, english and spanish but I will always choose spanish by default because it's my native language. Also, we don't know what this family is running from, we shouldn't really judge, at least he is working hard and not lying around.

If they want a citizenship learn English, or at least french ....

One part of Canada speaks fully French

Yes Canada is a peaceful nation. You did not mention tent cities in Victoria and Vancouver, B.C. In Canada we only speak English. Quebec should be their own country. I was in the military in Quebec for one week and dropped out. I got sick in the winter and I did not like how they treated people. Remember when your there you have to learn both languages. This is because of the marching drills and it is hard if you don't know French. If I was American I be happy and they only speak English. America rules!

In Canada, we have the French problem, despite them being only 20 percent of the population.

My aunt is Lebanese and obviously her sons and daughters are too. My aunt looks white and get 0. But my cousin looks more Lebanese and he gets racism all day everyday in California. I absolutely hate it. I'm Irish, French, and German. So we all see it.

If they claim benefit. I am ?. Being a legit Canadian hopeful as a professional, it’s really very hard for me to get a PR . I worked in other countries but I like Canada best. Now I need to learn French in order to be qualified.

I came to Canada as a student. Applied through to get my permanent residency. Improved my English, also learnt French. Worked multiple jobs... learned the Canadian way of life. Amalgamated myself into this wonderful country and it's even more awesome people... most importantly always paid my taxes and never been on EI... now your telling me I should have just walked across the border and within 12 hours I would have received refugee status... phewww that's a blow out

I am a Canadian immigrant PR now but I actually lived and studied in Quebec for five years now and has built a connection to the local community. I even learnt French there.... The people who provide fake profile srsly make me mad and feeling unfair.

They should have dropped him off in Quebec I bet he would have learned French!

Crazy that people think you can just join a country on a whim. If you don't speak English (or French), aren't making yourself apart of the community and contributing to it, how can you expect to be welcomed?

When our indigenous students can study using their own language, it’ll be fairer.\n\nIn our region, students at grade 2 start learning in French or in English, these two languages have zero link to our language. I imagine French Quebecois shouting against their kids having to learn in Inuttitut in any school of our province from grade 2 all the way forward.\n\nThis system in place tells me that we matter less.\n\nI’m happy that CBC is encouraging discussions, this is how we’re able to collectively focus on solutions.

Probably the reason why her mother never bothered to inquire in the first place. Refugee from france? is she from the french revolution?

There is no systemic racism in Québec? lol, has this guy ever did the paper driving exam? Even as a native French speaker, it is hard to understand the poorly written questions. How do you think an immigrant does when they need to pass this test in less than 6 months to be able to do keep his job and can't always pass the test in his own language?

Systemic racism is not made only to the blacks, indian, french, and others. Brtish was a stratified society. And tgey divided to control. We still have apartheid against native in canada

Quebec has the most discrimination! It doesn't matter what color you are but if you don't speak French you are frowned upon. Race isn't the problem, it's the leftist putting it on the pedestal!!

Multiculturalism and equality of opportunity are meant to be Canadian values, part of the Bloc's origins was to strengthen the french Canadian rights to exist instead of being assimilated. It's bizarre to me that there is such resistance to uphold our own values in this country when issues are brought up.

The only discrimination that I have felt in Quebec was when I could not speak French... so I learned French ... and life is quite chill now ... ??? I have felt more discrimination at my so called home country . . .

Its funny when they bring up pot and say that it benefits whites when in reality its not. Come to the rez were I live near and you will see so many pot shops but when a white person wants to open one up in the city its a big deal. And the government won't allow them to open up a shop. Its unbelievable how people are so blind to see that the true racism in Canada is not between white or black but between French and English. You get paid more if you know French, its mandatory to learn French in a city that maybe has ten french canadians, look at how much more Quebec gets represented, if Quebec does not like something then it never happens, Quebec can ban people from wearing religious icons that are not catholic yet the government allows this. You may not like it but its true its all about the big cities and Quebec here in Canada.

Leeland you look just like my brother. We are Scottish and Irish with a little French somewhere... LOL...

I'm Australian.Back in 1989 Almost died in that dessert outside Agadez.Extremely dehydrated and stuck in a horrendous sandstorm.\nMy death was so close I saw the white light\nAfter being looked after by a French doctor for 2 days I was then trucked to a hospital in Arlit. During that journey it was 51 degrees celsius.\nI was wrapped in blankets and had buckets of water poured over me to refrigerate me.I spent two weeks in that hospital recovering and then I was medically air evacuated to Niamey ->Algiers->Paris.\nWouldn't wish it upon anyone to make that trek.
