Are you a would-be immigrant to Canada even while you wish to do well, and enjoy a happy and successful life therein? Well, apart from successfully completing the mandatory visa and immigration formalities, you also require to be comfortable with one of the two key official languages of Canada, i.e., English & French.

It really helps, if you are proficient in one of these languages, even as you don’t come across communication barriers in the country. If you know both the languages, you will have an edge over others, as knowing French is equally, if not more, important in the country–more so in Quebec.

The capacity to communicate successfully in at least one of the given languages is vital in duly understanding the unique culture of the nation, in better understanding your neighbors and colleagues, and in becoming an active & involved citizen–and much more importantly–in getting a nice job in the country. Almost every job in the nation necessitates considerably more than just primary fluency in French or English on the part of the involved worker.

Actually, expertise in language is just so essentially vital to make it in the country, particularly for the new migrants keen to pursue a career in the domain for which they may have the relevant qualifications and training, and/or to have the right to use post-secondary education. Maybe, this is why Immigration Canada offers funding to a big network of organizations which provide language training absolutely free of cost.

But if you do not know French, you need not lose heart or think you are handicapped, as the goal is to know at least one official Canadian language. Similarly, if you do not know English, but know French, you do not need to press the panic button. While you are in the country you can easily learn and eventually master the language and become bilingual.
