Good for what? This matters in significant ways. Good for real estate prices? Regina. Good for restaurant scene? Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, and maybe Calgary. Good for kids? Probably somewhere in Quebec.
Is Montreal good? I thought I chose that city to move to in the future once I prepare for it.
I could also learn French since Montreal is in Quebec and I don’t mind learning the language.
They also have train transport and the National Film Board even though they moved from the old Norman McLaren building in Saint-Laurent.
Montreal is nice, but in my experience you will be looked down on if you don't speak French.
What do you do for fun? Montreal is good for culture and activities.
Are you ok with the weather there? West Coast is way more mild.
One other thing to add: permanent residency is issued at the province level.
If you're planning to move here permanently and don't speak French, don't move anywhere in Quebec. It's the only province that requires French language competency for permanent residency. In other provinces, you can acquire PR with just English.
Montréal is pretty cool and as long as you put an effort learning French you'll be fine. But I know people who never even gave a try and they are fine as well. But we appreciate the effort.
