Could my husband and I relocate and find jobs in IT/Web Developing as Anglophones?

[Claire_Patoine]

I am American born but my father is a French Canadian aging parent who married my mother (an American). We are considering moving my father and ourselves to Montreal. Could my husband and I relocate and find jobs in IT/Web Developing as Anglophones? I understand french but am not a fluent speaker. My husband is not fluent.

Hi Claire. Montreal is the kind of city that lives in both languages and thrives culturally thanks to it. If your IT job doesn't ask you to speak regularly with the public, which would have you answer questions to occasional francophones, then I think you will be fine!

Let alone, Montreal hosts some very anglophone neighbourhoods like Beaconsfield in the east.

I definitely know people in web dev who do not have strong French. It is definitely possible. But might be more challenging. I can tell you that web dev is in high demand now. It is the buyer economy. So the cards are on his side. My friend just had 3 interviews, all with offers in a matter of weeks (he speaks French tho, but I don't think it mattered that much).
