Are there any programs in Quebec for NON IMMIGRANT anglophones to learn french? I see there are a ton of government programs for immigrants but i dont see any for citizens. If i were to move there id really be the same as an immigrant IMO.

Anyone know the deal and where i can go for info?

Actually in a move to erase French even further in Quebec, the provincial Liberals have cut the fundings in the french courses for immigrants. So your best bet is to go to a ymca, colleges or even university (ours are still dirt cheap).

Aaah universities are cheap for quebec residents but id have to live there a year before i can pay the good rates.

I need french to get work there... dammit. Maybe i should leave the country, flush my passport and claim refugee status. Seems like u have more rights then!! Mon dieu!!

Well he's right, because here are the admission criteria:

You are eligible to take French courses if you:

*have been living in Canada for five years or less
*live in Québec
*lack sufficient knowledge of French for everyday life or work
*are 16 years of age or older
*have an immigration status that allows you to take courses.

And finally I was right, the budget was sacked by 20% in the budget of 2004-2005, that is 8M of a budget of 45M$, insignificant savings in a global budget of 50 billion a year.

Anyways, here's the form to register at the ymca: https://www.ymcalanguages.com/en/in...rs_francais.asp

And this is admission criteria from where? What institution? Or school?

As a canadian citizen once he moves here Jay is entitled to take very affordable French as a second language classes from Commission scolaire de Montréal http://www.csdm.qc.ca/csdm/index.asp and a benefit from Emploi Quebec while he is in school as knowledge of French will make him more employable in the Quebec job market.

This is straight from the Government, so that you get french classes, day school for your young kids and other perks.
