Why learn French?
Learning French is the first step towards integrating into Quebec society. Mastering French will also give you a competitive edge in the workforce.
If you want to live and work in Quebec, learning French can simplify or accelerate the process of obtaining your Certificat de sélection du Québec (CSQ). In addition, many professional orders require their members to know French!
Summer intensive courses
The Département d’études françaises offers a French language intensive program. Students follow classes four mornings a week (Monday to Thursday) per summer term with Fridays reserved for cultural activities and outings throughout Montreal and the province.
