Immigrant's everyday life in Montreal

Montreal and immigrants
One of the richness of Montreal is the multi-culture value. It  adds a lot to the city.  All immigrants work on harmony to build the city.

I see this every day at work and it touched me deeply when I was working on a university group project; we were five with different backgrounds and cultures, China, Morocco, Romania, Quebec and Egypt.

Each has his way of thinking and brilliant ideas. I was impressed by the different view that each has in the same point and the great values we had by the end of the project .

This piece of text is very true about immigrants in Montreal. You can see it behind Mont-Royal Metro.

Tango de Montréal
Gérald Godin

Sept heures et demie du matin métro de Montréal
c’est plein d’immigrants
ça se lève de bonne heure
ce monde-là

le vieux coeur de la ville
battrait-il donc encore
grâce à eux

ce vieux coeur usé de la ville
avec ses spasmes
ses embolies
ses souffles au coeur
et tous ses défauts

et toutes les raisons du monde qu’il aurait
de s’arrêter
de renoncer

Montreal Tango
translated by Matt McLauchlin

7:30 AM in the Montreal metro
it’s full of immigrants
they get up early
those people

so if the old heart of the city
is still beating
is it thanks to them

this old tired heart of the city
with its spasms
its attacks
its murmurs
and all its faults

and all the reasons in the world it could find
to stop
to give up

  • Good luck Moziane. I wish you the best. The immigration process is easy but sometimes take time. If you have questions about it, let me know.
