Yes. Nowadays I exclusively shop & eat around these areas. But by next year I will be saying Quebec goodbye for good. Its not just businesses here, the govt services and the police too. I am not going to fund them with my tax dollars.

BBC is a known for its India bashing. This article has no depth and is conjuring up some kind of conspiracy theory. HN quality is going down the drain. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_the_BBC

I am a part of a group (immigrant) which Québec CAQ politicians likes to bash/scapegoat when they get the chance. So let me bash them here when I get the chance. Thank you for noticing and sorry if you got butt hurt being a Quebecois.

I got the Covid-19 care guide in my mail box by the Québec government in French only because of Bill 101. Language politics trumps even in case of emergency communications in Québec.

I would never buy anything from this sort of site especially if done by the Québec government. They should try to fix their Senior Home Covid-19 situation due to lack of healthcare workers because of their absurd healthcare system rules unl

I totally have the opposite experience in Québec. Everywhere and anything in Québec feels red taped and low of customer service. Maybe I have to speak French. Speaking in English and being non white gets a degraded service in Québec.

Skilled immigration to Canada via Québec takes 3 years in the fastest category. In other categories it takes 4 to 6 years. Immigration to the rest of Canada takes only 6 months via Express Entry. Québec's immigration system is the slow

Not in Quebec. The healthcare system in Quebec is in ruins with extended wait times and walk in clinics turn off walk ins frequently. Nurses & Doctor shortages are acute in Quebec to the point that retired nurses are being asked if they

Quebec's immigration system denies French citizen because her thesis had English in it. This is what happens in Québec immigration department. Red tape and mismanagement. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montrea

There was a Wendys recruitment drive in India some years back. The reason behind that was they could not find restaurant workers in Wendys Alberta. I find it very hard to believe they could not find local Canadian workers.

The truth is it's not implemented yet though they say it is. Anyone that I know of are still waiting on the Québec immigration department to process their files for the past one year in the regular skilled worker category.

That points system is not followed at all. Québec immigration department is one such department in Québec which needs a thorough investigation on their practices and selection criteria. Low skilled workers from France is given undue priorit

Canada and especially Québec should do this too. Québec has a lottery system for visas. First come first serve. Rest of Canada has a points based system but is being played by low skilled workers.

So if it's difficult to tell the difference, why celebrate one side of the story and that too by a western media which has no idea about the ground realities in Kashmir. The article is also written by someone who is not an expert in po

The India government is taking action against spreading misinformation & fake news via VPN enabled social media. What is wrong here. Title is misleading and sensationalist.

That is ethically wrong even though a Canadian PR allows you to live and work anywhere in Canada including Québec. I was speaking more to the high skilled foreign workers in Québec who have to wait years for a permanent residency because th

Don't worry, they will come to US once they become Canadian citizens on a TN visa.

You are absolutely right. Salaries in Canada are pathetic. Anecdotally, I know many who did this TN visa to go back to US. US still wins despite the broken immigration system.
