Moving to Montreal
My partner and I have been discussing for a while on a move out of Toronto, and he just got a job offer based in Montreal.
I recently finished college (biotechnology diploma) and I’m currently working part-time in an unrelated field. I’m trying to figure out what’s realistic for me job wise in Montréal, especially with French… I’d estimate my level around A2/B1 (conversational, not perfect), but I’m committed to improving.
We are thinking of moving in the next 3 months. Career wise, I’m looking to land a role in QA/QC/GMP/regulated operations, but I’m open to other opportunities to get me on my feet.
What kind of jobs are realistically accessible in Montréal within 1–3 months with my language proficiency?
If you’ve worked in life sciences here… what entry roles should I target with a biotech diploma? Any areas that are more open to juniors?
Any recommendations for improving French quickly in Montréal?
Any neighborhood recommendations for a young couple looking to start fresh and build a life?
Lastly, any tips that I should know of before making this move?
Thank you in advance :)
