My name is Kamran and I've lived in Toronto from 96 - present since I've moved from Germany... at first glance this place seemed very cool but as i became older and met more people... i really didn't like the vibe here.. there are some very nice people.. but over all.. this is a very straaange city, and I dont feel like i belong. First time I came to visit Canada though i landed in montreal and stayed with some family there.. it was awesome and it had a lot of the european vibe which I was used to back in Germany... since then ive visited montreal several times and now that im finally finished highschool.. ive taken a year off to decide what to do and where to go.. i think ive come to the conclusion that I would like to move to Montreal and study there... Dont know what though , but the two english universities ive looked at so far are McGill and Concordia.. MY question is.. how hard is it to find jobs in Montreal for someone that doesnt speak French? And how is the rent situation in the downtown area? I'll be taking a loan from the bank, or OSAP.. and have some support from my parents.. but im still gona have to work to pay bills, social life and etc. If I start school in september ill be moving 1 or 2 months earlier to get myself settled in and just explore the city, so that will give me a little time to find a place and find a job as well. Love and Recpect.

In comparison to montreal, You probably have a better chance of succeeding in your field if you stay in Toronto. If you dont speak french you are limiting your opportunities.

When I go to Montreal, they only speak english when they want your money. And of course dont forget to tip.
