Canada is not a bilingual country I am born and raised in Brazil, but I'm living in Canada since 2014. I have been studying English for almost one decade, French for 2 years and it's been a pleasure to learn more about these languages as well as use them around the world. Even though English language is spoken everywhere there are some countries/cities where we may have a hard time interacting with people, because they don't speak English at all. When I moved to Canada I thought it was a bilingual country, but it's not. Living in Quebec City I realize that a lot of people here don't speak English, even if they are about 3h away from Montréal. I got a bit disappointed, I admit. Living in Quebec has been such a nice experience in terms of cultural and language exchange though. The first time I put my feet here my level of proficiency in French was acceptable. I would say I had a B2 level. One year later I took an official French language exam and got C2, which is the advanced level. Nowadays, two years later from the day I arrived here, I consider myself comfortable enough in french in any kind of situation. Finally, when I want to speak English I take the road and go to Montréal.
