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

ya french needs to be abloished in quebec, if you're gonna force a second langugae on people, might as well make it a useful one like spanish or even mandarin. much better for business |

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. |
