Why I moved to Montreal

Published 2023-02-27
I've lived in Paris, in Rio which is one of the most gorgeous cities in the World, been all over Europe and recently I've decided to live in Montreal, Canada. Why?
Well to answer that question, we need to go back in time.

I've decided to document my journey in a video, to share with you all the reasons why I've chosen to make Montreal my new home.

I hope you like it.

    I'm from Vancouver and after a short trip to Montreal a few months ago, I felt in love with the city and its brilliant culture, people, and especially art. Now I'm learning Frances and getting ready to move in a few months, minimum for a year! thanks for your great video, my friend!

  • Good choice. Montreal is an incredible city. I live in Central Florida but i spend my summers in Montreal.

    Je suis né à Montréal il y a 60 ans de cela. J’ai fait plusieurs voyages à l’étranger, Europe, Asie, USA, Caraïbes, Afrique du Nord, etc. Montréal a des défauts mais je n’imagine pas vivre ailleurs. Tu mentionnes à la fin de la vidéo que tu aimes l’hiver. Il faut faire des activités. Le ski, le patin, la marche en forêt sont magnifiques activités. La plus belle saison est l’automne lorsque la température est plus tempérée, la couleur des feuilles changes pour aller du jaune au rouge vif. C’est l’occasion de rentrer à la maison et de cuisiner des plats réconfortants. C’est aussi l’occasion de vivre plus lentement et sereinement et puis on apprécie l’arrivée du printemps. L’été est magnifique à Montréal. Mon activité favorite est le vélo, en ville ou à la campagne. Tu mentionnes aussi que Montréal est un melting-pot de gens qui proviennent de partout dans le monde. Tous ces gens sont venus ici pour les mêmes raisons c’est à dire la qualité de vie et la possibilité de s’épanouir comme être humain.
  • Juliano ’Montreal m ennuie’ means of course I’m bored with Montréal. BUT ’je m ennuie de Montréal ’ is perfectly correct and similar to ’French French (so to speak) and is well used in that case Perfect use no particularism Good Luck on your new life journey.

    Hi Thanks gor sharing this great video and information. Just wondering, where were u Born ? What's your nationality ? Your homeland ?
  • Hello, toujours intéressant de voir les raisons qui font qu'une personne qui maîtrise parfaitement la langue anglaise s'installe à Montréal. Par contre petite remarque, le québécois peut être dur à saisir pour un français mais le "Je m'ennuie de Montréal" c'est parfaitement français (de France) et pas forcément une nuance québécoise. Après on peut dire que c'est du vieux français ou français soutenu mais par exemple on peut prendre le cas pour un échange épistolaire entre deux amoureux, si l'un écrit à l'autre "Je m'ennuie de vous" c'est une formulation souvent lue et relue et normalement on comprend très bien qu'elle veut dire à l'autre "Vous me manquez." en français courant et pas "Vous m'ennuyez". De ce fait pour moi, quand une personne dit "Je m'ennuie de Montréal" je comprends parfaitement qu'elle veut dire que "Montréal lui manque" et je suis pourtant français.

    Winter time in Montreal is actually great, but there are two problems with it : 1) It's 1-2 months too long. By March/April, it gets really depressing. 2) You usually have 1-2 weeks where temperature drops way too low. -25 Celcius just isn't fun. But for most of it, it's great. It's beautiful, kids have a lot of fun doing snowmen, snowball fights, sliding, skating, etc. Montreal's great nightlife is best during winter. There's a surprising amount of events/activities, both inside and outside.
  • I live Toronto I love Toronto I love fall and winter once you live about 3 years you will love the change. I also love love Montreal . Canada is beautiful place to live I have lived in USA for 15 years in every way I prefere Canada. I always want to live in Montreal for few months but I dont speak french. I work in medical field may be I can take that advantage thank you for sharing. It is amaizing you have lived in Europe , but after you moved around you chose Montreal. I always want to owen a property some wher in Europe as retirement . Where would you live after you retire ? & why will you choose the place ? Be blessed

    There is more Doctor per capita in Quebec than in Ontario The Quebec "Joie de vivre" means that Doctors and nurse Work less hours Yeah ! ! ! Also Quebec doctors restrict the amount and level of care Other health care workers can render Yeah ! ! !
  • @noseboop4354
    Sérieusement, avec toutes les différences régionales en France et des autres pays francophones comme la Suisse ou la Belgique, tu n'as jamais pensé que le français au Québec serait différent de la France?
  • @redMaple_QC
    You're comment about the weather is a little strange, considering that you mention you lived in Ottawa. The weather is not that different from there.
  • @Denis50832
    How is your integration into a Quebec society going ? have you made new friends ?
  • @jeanbolduc5818
    In Quebec ,for medical assistance all you need to do is to dial 811 and a nurse will find you a doctor right away , Quebec does not have the worst health care system , the issues are the same across Canada and the world ( lack of doctors and nurses all over the world) , i used to live in Ontario and the health care system is even worst ....England now has the same issues and Switzerland health care system is collapsing ...like u said , you are not an expert and iwe are used to Quebec bashing from english Canada . I am from Quebec and soemtimes work in France and Switzerland with no issu ... France uses more english words tha Quebec like parking, shopping, challenge , task force , drive in etc in Quebec Stationnement, magasiner, défis , équipe tactique , service au volant etc ... Even in england , people have different accents and slangs .... Montreal is also # 1 in the world for sustainability , the greenest with the largest urban parks and more than 600 green roof tops with urban farm , Montreal has the best biking infrastructure in North america and 4 th in the world , the best public transport , modern , safe and fast , UNESCO city of design , the 3 rd largest aerospace center in the world , leader in Artificial intelligence, medical research , pharmaceutical, hight tech, engeneering , finance, arts , architecture , largest museums in Canada , best night life , everything is collected and accessible, sports infrastructure are accessible , Montreal is a walkable city, civilized, patient , fashion city and the ost aesthetic city in Canada
