A true picture of the career prospects in Quebec
- Thread starter FromINDIA2674
- Start date
I met a Filipino nurse family (both husband & wife) who landed in Quebec recently with PR via CSQ. They said they have to write some exam in French and go back to school in Quebec which will take 5 years of learning in order for them to practice nursing.( not my field, so I do not know what exams and school they have to go, but I remember them telling they have to relearn Algebra !! )
They found a minimum wage job in an elderly care and finding it hard to pay rent. Their two teenage kids are going to a "welcome" school to learn French for an year or so, after which they will be admitted to normal French classes. Their kids find it very difficult & they are scared because once the welcome school is over, their entire lessons will be in French. Non French speaking parents will not be able to help them with their homework. Maybe you can teach them in your language and then the kids can translate to French.
The Filipino family said they will soon move out of Quebec, because of the above reasons. They are just staying here to prove that they tried to settle in Quebec and failed. Do your kids a favor, if you have grown up kids, please move out of Quebec for them to have a happy stress free school life.
Nurses should refer this site for their eligibility to practice in Quebec
http://www.oiiq.org (French only, so there is that)
A post with some discussions about being Nurses in Quebec, not conclusive.

hi,
to homologate in Quebec any profession is hard but i would say that children life is better there than another provinces, they use to receive more money for be "comfortable".
Anyway i am going to give my best for integrate in Quebec but if i have to move out i will do it
I have already completed 2 levels of French however because I don't use the regularly I have lost touch and fluency over it. It is very difficult to have fluency over a language which is new to you and also not in your daily use. If in such a case you are asked to survive only with the language its quite stressful. I guess that's one of the reasons why you see so many questions about wanting to move from Quebec after landing in Canada. Can't help though, if French is an integral part of Quebec we better sharpen our French skills.
