Hello everyone,
My name is Mick McCafferty and I moved to St-Lazare, Nr. Montreal about six and a half years ago with my wife and three children. I must say that, as a Brit with children, living in Quebec is very challenging. Did you know that immigrant children are forced to go to French schools here?
Anyway, since arriving I have been trying to foster a British online community in Montreal and am now expanding to Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver. You will find us at britclub.ca and I would appreciate any help and advice the wider British community can give me. Please visit the site and give me some feedback regarding what you would like to see on there.
I could talk for ages on the subject of Brits living in Quebec and have been published in local newspapers several times. However, the basic advice I would give to any Brit contemplating coming here is DON'T. I believe that the rest of Canada is much more accepting of the British and we are actually liked in some parts of Canada.
I hope to hear from you all soon!
