Jobs in Quebec

Quebec’s jobs are concentrated in Greater Montreal and the Quebec City region, with regional centres in Gatineau, Sherbrooke, Trois-Rivieres and Saguenay. Health care, manufacturing, retail, aerospace, technology and the public service are the main sources of work.

French is the working language. Most jobs require it, and employers must be able to justify asking for another language, so strong French is the single biggest advantage a candidate can have. Montreal has many bilingual roles in technology, video games, aerospace and customer service. Quebec also runs its own versions of several programs, including its pension plan and parental insurance plan, so pay stubs look slightly different from those elsewhere in Canada.
