New to the Québec City region?Welcome to Québec City, in the heart of French Canada but also home to the oldestEnglish-speaking community in Québec.

A short visit to this UNESCO world heritage site will convince you that few cities inthe world offer the advantages found here. Québec City features the joie de vivre ofEurope combined with the convenience of North America. Her safe streets, vibrantgreen spaces, fresh air, reasonable cost of living and easy access to cultural events,shopping, nature, and sports activities may entice you to call Québec City home.

More than 12,000 English-speakers live and work in the capital region. That meansthat there are many resources here for residents and visitors whose principal language is English. These resources include a wide range of front line health andsocial services in English, an English community college (CEGEP), a newspaper, abookstore, a library, schools, a variety of churches, a synagogue, businesses, a community centre and radio, as well as television stations. Local English-speakers arepart of a dynamic, multicultural, bilingual community that’s proud of its city and province.

However, English-speakers make up approximately 2% of the local population and livingin a sea of francophonie can be both rewarding and challenging. Learning to speakFrench is a must in order to find work, make friends, and feel at home. Fortunately, theEnglish-speaking community, despite its small size, is very active and well organizedto help make your integration into Québec society a little easier.

DRIVING

If you are new to this province and have a valid driver’s license from another provinceor country you have up to 90 days following your arrival to make the transfer to aQuébec driver’s license. If you are here as a student or on a work exchange, otherrules may apply.

For questions about the validity of licenses for newcomers (residents), whether fromother provinces or other countries, contact the Société de l’assurance automobile duQuébec (SAAQ) at 643-7620. For more information, visit their web site atwww.saaq.gouv.qc.ca.

You will have to pay the cost of a driver’s license and the fee to change the license(fees and procedures may vary depending upon your place of origin). If you have aregular driver’s license from another Canadian province or territory, Great Britain, orthe United States, you should receive the same license here. If your driving licensewas issued by another country, you may have to pass a driving test before receivinga Québec driver’s license.

You must make an appointment to obtain your Québec license by calling 1-800-361-7620if you are a Canadian citizen and 1-888-356-6616 for non-citizens. Before calling tryto have the following documents on hand: your current driver’s license, proof of former residency in the region where your license was issued, proof of Canadian citizenship or your immigration documents / Québec selection certificate, and proofof residency in Québec (ie. a hydro or telephone bill indicating your Québec address).If these documents are not written in French or English, be sure to take a legal translation with you to your appointment.

Québec drivers’ licenses and health care cards are personalized with your photograph.Your picture can be taken at a SAAQ outlet and sent on to the agency that issueshealth cards.

The province of Québec insures all residents for bodily injury resulting from roadaccidents regardless of fault. Please understand that “no fault” does not mean thatdangerous or negligent drivers will not be prosecuted under the law. What it doesmean is that persons involved in car accidents have no legal right to sue for damagesregardless of who is at fault. All vehicle owners must carry a minimum of $50, 000 inprivate coverage as liability for property damages. Private insurance companies offerthis and an insurance broker can help you find suitable coverage. If you wish to haveprevious years of driving experience transferred to your Québec driving record, youwill have to provide proof of this to the SAAQ when exchanging your license. Thismay help to lower your insurance premiums. In the event of an accident, you mayhave to pay a deductible fee charged by your insurer.

You may turn right on a red light in cities across the province (except on the Island ofMontréal.) However, at many intersections in Quebec City and elsewhere, right turnson red may be restricted or prohibited. Pay careful attention to road signs posted nearthe traffic light for specific details. For example, right turns are often prohibited atcertain corners from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.

In 1977, Québec’s National Assembly adopted the French Language Charter (Bill 101),which states that all children must be educated in French until the end of their secondary studies, whether in a public school or a subsidized private school. Itshould be noted that this ruling does not apply to Québec’s colleges and universitiesor non-subsidized private institutions.

For those students who are not fluent in French, the Ministère de l'Éducation, duLoisir et du Sport (MELS) offers a variety of language learning support measures incooperation with local school boards that dispense preschool, elementary school,and secondary school education.

The French Language Charter does provide for certain special cases where childrenare allowed to pursue their studies in English at public or subsidized private schools.Youth in the following three categories may be enrolled in English-language schools:

• Youth who are permanent residents of Québec and who qualify for a certificate ofeligibility for instruction in English;

• Youth who are permanent residents of Québec and who are entitled to receiveinstruction in English under a special authorization;

• Youth who are living in Québec temporarily and who qualify for a temporary authorization to receive instruction in English.

Anyone wishing to enroll their children in an English school (elementary or secondary)must first apply for an eligibility certificate for that child. A certificate of eligibility isusually given to children who fall into these categories:

• Those who did most of their elementary or secondary studies in English in Canada; or

• Whose brother or sister did most of his or her elementary studies in English inCanada; or

• Whose father or mother did most of his or her elementary studies in English inCanada; or

bottin_2007-2010.qxd 12/8/08 3:32 PM

• Whose father or mother attended school in Québec after August 26, 1977 and couldhave been declared eligible for instruction in English at that time.

Other cases may also be considered. This is a very complex process. Contact theCentral Quebec School Board at 654-0537 for additional information and assistance.You can also call the Ministry of Education (MELS) at 1-866-747-6626 or visit their website for more information, www.mels.gouv.qc.ca.

There are no private English schools here. École Vision (www.visionschools.com) isa private trilingual school with instruction in English, French, and Spanish.

When you go for your card, take these papers: the completed application form, proof of citizenship, proof of residence, and a photo which meets the necessaryspecifications. If you were not born in Canada, you will need to provide your immigration documents or your Québec selection certificate.

If you have just moved here from another country, you should apply for your card rightaway. However, you will not be immediately eligible for Québec health insurance.You will be eligible for coverage after a waiting period of three months.

For more information about the Québec Health Insurance Plan, call the Régie de l’assurance maladie du Québec at 646-4636 or visit their web site atwww.ramq.gouv.qc.ca.

Quebec law states “English-speaking persons are entitled to receive health servicesand social services in the English language, in keeping with the organizational structureand human, material and financial resources of the institutions providing such servicesand to the extent provided by an access program”.

This “access program” means that some institutions have been specially chosen to provide services in English. NOT all of these places, however, must or can giveservices in English at ALL times.

If you do ask for service in English, you can expect thatan effort will be made to refer you to a staff person who is able to help you wellenough in English.

Most statutory holidays are recognized in the province including New Year’s Day(Jour de l’An), and Easter (Pâques). Victoria Day (Fête de la Reine) is known as theJournée nationale des patriotes. Labour Day (Fête du travail), Thanksgiving (Actionde grâce), and Christmas (Noël) are also all statutory holidays.

June 24 is a holiday called the Fête Nationale. At one time it was called St-Jean-Baptiste day and many still refer to it this way. In addition, July 1, Canada Day (Fêtedu Canada) is also recognized.

The last two full weeks of July are called the “vacances de la construction” or theconstruction holiday. Although it is not a legal holiday, it has become a tradition formany businesses to stop or slow down during this period. If you want to rent a hotelor cottage in the province at this time, it can be hard to get a reservation.

However, there is no civic holiday celebrated here in August.

There are festivals galore, such as the Summer Festival (Festival d’été) in July (www.infofestival.com), the Fête de la Nouvelle-France in August (www.nouvellefrance.qc.ca), and the Québec Winter Carnival in February (www.carnaval.qc.ca).

HOME HUNTING

In Québec, the size of most apartments includes a “1/2”, which refers to the bathroom.A “4 and 1/2” most often has two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom(see the vocabulary section for more helpful tips). Large appliances are not alwaysincluded in the rent. Local newspapers include listings of apartments for rent. Alsocheck bulletin boards for notices and signs posted on apartment buildings.

Leases are written on forms that are put out by the Régie du logement (RDL) or rentalboard. This provincial government body oversees relations between tenants andlandlords. It is very difficult to break a lease in Québec once it has been signed.

Before signing a lease, you should clearly set the terms with the landlord, such as themonthly rent, furnishings and appliances, and who pays what utility (electricity, hotwater, etc.). Make sure all terms are written down in the right spaces on the form.You can ask to see the previous tenant’s lease. The lease is written in French unlessboth parties agree to the use of another language. English leases are available at theRDL. In Québec, one-year leases are the norm, from July 1 to June 30. This meansthat July 1 is moving day for most Québecers, so if you need to rent a truck on thisday, book it as soon as you can. If you want a shorter-term lease, try to make a dealwith the landlord and make sure it is written on the lease.

You must give your landlord three months’ notice before the end of your lease, in writing,if you want to move out. Send your notice by registered mail so you have proof thatyour landlord received it.

Similarly, the landlord must tell you of any changes to your lease, such as a rentincrease, three to six months before it ends. You then have one month to reply. If youdo not, your lease will automatically be renewed for another year. You can eitheraccept the changes and the lease is valid for another year, or you can refuse the changes and try to renegotiate. The RDL can help decide what is fair when you

20

bottin_2007-2010.qxd 12/8/08 3:32 PM

21

renegotiate if you and your landlord cannot agree. These delays change if the leaseis for less than one year.

For all questions about tenant/landlord relations, call the Régie du logement at 643-2245 or visit their web site at www.rdl.gouv.qc.ca.

When you buy a house in this province, you will need a notary to prepare the legalpapers. He or she will arrange the legal aspects of your mortgage with the bank ofyour choice. Upon buying a home, whether or not it is newly built, you will have topay a one-time “welcome tax” to your municipality. This is a provincial law and it isapplicable to all municipalities.

There are free publications readily available that feature property listings; as well youcan search online at www.mls.ca.
