Where to live in Montreal? might depend on where you are working but generally the English live on the west island the French live on the eastern part of the island the boundary generally being St Laurent blvd..
Places i'd consider living as an English newcomer ? NDG, Montreal West,Lasalle, western Lachine and perhaps Dorval..
Getting to be here legally will be long and sometimes frustrating ordeal with government bureaucracy and paperwork with no guarantees of success , but a trip of a thousand miles starts with the first step eh,the path starts here..=

Hi,
Not sure if you have moved yet or not but I suggest for whoever who is interested in moving to Montreal to think of where you want to live first and what kind of apartment you want to rent. It could matter a lot. Neighbourhoods are very different in Montreal.
