Immigration

• There is no doubt that the current healthcare system suffers from notable flaws, which also impose long waits to access a family doctor.
• Keep in mind that your children might want to reflect tendencies that diverge from your beliefs. It is therefore advisable to prepare to reinforce the education provided within the home or to take other radical measures in accordance with their rights.
• The scourge of racism remains latent, taking various forms and concealed under multiple guises.
• It is incumbent on you to maintain mental toughness, while systematically planning for financial and food reserves to meet possible hardships.
• No matter how stellar your credentials are, it's possible for you to get into decent paying jobs that require little, if any, academic credentials or prior experience. It follows that you must be prepared to be led by individuals lacking the appropriate qualifications and skills, regardless of the organization.
• If you need help, whether you openly ask for help or turn to the competent bodies, help will always be available to you.
• Animal companions occupy a place of great importance in our society. Any act of theft or aggression against them, without a legitimate reason for defence, could mark the prelude to a deterioration of your migratory journey.
• The act of recycling is of crucial importance. Thus, it is important to take care meticulously to deposit your waste in the appropriate containers, thus contributing to preserving our environment.
• Think long term with sincerity before some credit inquiries.
• In Quebec, like the majority of men, millions of women practice the art of seduction, drive motorcycles, trucks and luxury cars. They exercise physical occupations and leaders, use expressive language and raise their voices with firmness, in a manner equivalent to men.
• It's common for many couples to get into the habit of splitting dating expenses in half. It is advisable to tip the waiters in case of consumption on the spot and satisfaction with the service. However, for take-out orders at the counter, there is no obligation in this regard.
• You must do your taxes each year by respecting the deadlines according to your professional situation.
• It is imperative to remain constantly vigilant concerning the evolution of the laws relating to immigration, because these are subject to frequent modifications. It is therefore recommended that you keep yourself informed at least once a month.

• Your European driving licenses can be converted into Quebec licenses. If not converted, they will be valid for 6 months, except in certain cases, such as when you are a full-time student.
• Your diplomas and experience acquired outside Quebec have little value for certain employers. Expect not to regain the advantages you had before. Many doctors and executives end up becoming taxi drivers or administrative agents for many years.
• Quebecers have an accent and expressions different from other French-speaking countries. Remember, however, that you are in Quebec. If you lived in France, avoid criticism and be open to learning.
• In Quebec, you have to pay taxes on most items you buy. Additionally, you will pay provincial and federal taxes. Your salaries will be reduced accordingly, so factor this into your action plan.
• Quebec experiences very cold temperatures, with periods of extreme cold covering 85% of the time. Allow 30 minutes before leaving for a destination and invest in quality equipment.
• You must receive help to obtain your health insurance card and your social insurance number (SIN). Never disclose your SIN to a third person, except in certain cases explained by Service Canada.
• According to Statistics Canada data, a large part of the Quebec population uses support to improve their mental health. During the migration journey, we all go through difficult times at least once. With ALTERAMBITIONS, you will never be alone, and we are committed to sincerely and decisively supporting all our members. If necessary, contact us.
• Choose the bank of your choice and quickly opt for a credit card to build your credit score. If you want expert advice, contact us and we'll put you in touch.
• Pay your bills on time to avoid unpleasant penalties.
• It is important to obtain a Canadian telephone number. To start by limiting the risks, go to Dollarama and buy a SIM card for $5. Then you can choose your plan and pay according to your preferences, without obligation. If you decide to go with a carrier, pay attention to the phone payment end date if you choose this option with the subscription.
• You will need a fishing license to fish. Additionally, many species are protected, so avoid feeding animals or petting pets without the owner's permission.
• Avoid defecating in nature, even if you are intoxicated or in particular discomfort.
• Respect non-smokers and keep your distance from people and infrastructure, otherwise you will receive fines.
• Do not work without being declared. Always respect laws and regulations. In Quebec, information travels quickly, and the walls have ears and a very powerful voice.
• Relationships are often superficial and based on interests. The lifestyle is individualistic. The notion of sharing can be sensitive, because the weight of the capitalist system holds an important place in the hearts of each of us.
• Do not confuse tolerance and respect with open-mindedness. Each person is unique, with a veil in the heart that lifts in specific contexts.
• The cost of living is high, forcing most residents to have one full-time job and a second or third part-time job. Even retirees are returning to work.
• In the Quebec school system, especially at university, most teachers are fully invested in ensuring the success of all students. Don’t hesitate to invest in rewarding training.
• Openness towards others must go both ways, but don't forget that you are in Quebec. Take advantage of Quebec's 17 regions to explore and avoid locking yourself in only with people similar to your origins if you want to develop your network and appreciate the beauty of the province.
• Most immigrants with Berber/indigenous origins are proud of it and show it openly. Do not systematically assume that "all" Quebecers will be proud to be told that they are both the descendants of the indigenous people on the reserves and that they are immigrants who came to colonize and imprison the latter.
• You can truly build the best version of yourself in Quebec but keep in mind that our stars are not the same and do not shine the same way. In other words, for your well-being, inspire yourself without morbid envy and wanting to copy.

You will increase your chances of success in international recruitment in Quebec and form a diversified and competent team for your company.

You will find that real support requires a great investment in terms of time and skills. It is not a question of including group activities and registering candidates for training to learn French, even less if our main labor pool is French-speaking.

If that was the miracle recipe, we wouldn't hear employees complaining about incompetence and false promises a long time ago.

That's why we offer you the solution to trust ALTERAMBITIONS and its 360 support program for your peace of mind.
