If you move to Quebec, you should be expected to learn French if you are there to work and use many services. But Quebec overall is pretty good to Anglophones and immigrants. You can get service in English in a number of regions and people will often speak to you in English at all sorts of places. But you can't go there expecting service in English for everything. If you want to belong in Quebec society then speaking French is a must.

I totally agree that immigrants should be learning French to immigrate and live in Quebec. It's the language of business and society there. There has to be pressure and incentives. I feel that the federal and Quebec governments need to do more things to actually have potential immigrants learn French before they move to Quebec and even to other parts of Canada.
Thanks for being honest and telling the truth.
