I am trying to answer to some of your queries

About Montreal
Please provide the information for Montreal

1) Any settlement service in Montreal.

2) Where max. Desi population are settled,

3) Child education system,
If you land here directly and you or your spouse hadn't studied in Canada your kid suppose to join French school .Private English medium schools are expensive.Daycare is damn cheap comparing GTA

4) Min. Room rent as a new comer and temp.accomdation facility.
Depend on area but less expensive than GTA.Could get 3 and half apartment within $450-500

5) Public Transportation system,
Excellent (and cheaper than GTA)..unless you are not staying far from downtown/city

6) Throughout year the Weather situation
May till August -Summer enjoy!
October - November - Cold
Dec - Feb - Severe cold (Don't worry u will get used to it:) )



Most important thing is knowing French to get a job:p
Otherwise Montreal is a nice place to settle down



:cheers:

to the questions Ani has not answered to

1) Any settlement service in Montreal.
>>>If you are apprehensive..you have an option by availing of the Mcri service for free.
http://www.immigration-quebec.gouv.qc.ca/anglais/settlement/counselling.html

other services are available for a fee...question is do you really need it?


2) Where max. Desi population are settled,
>>>Jean talon, cote-des neiges, ddo perhaps... does this really matter?
I have rarely made any decision based on this factor. Most of my friends here are desis and none of them bother about this factor either.
There are plenty of desi stores all over the city where you can obtain articles you are used to(incase thats the reason for this question)

Anyway the biggest desi population is in India :)<hint>


Also I dont think anybody ever gets used to the cold(december-march/april)

Hi Ani70,

With reference to above, Do you know any contacts for paying guest or Shared accomodation facilites near LaSalle College. My cousin is arriving in December End or January First week and we don't know anyone in Montreal. He would prefer to stay with Vegetarian family. Any help would be appreciated.

regards,
