    You can speak English and live in Montreal, everyone speaks both language. Plus, you will look very sexy if you try to speak French.

      Well not everyone speaks English but definitely a lot of people. Still many companies require some minimal French speaking. Despite this, you could manage to live in English only.

      When I was there, conversations start in french, then you have to go through the song and dance of saying you don’t speak french, and I’ve heard stories in certain areas where some french don’t like english only speakers.

        Vast majority of people don’t care. It’s not like you would get attacked. It’s just nice to speak the language of the place but not a requirement.
