Hi there! Welcome to Montreal Karthik! I totally agree with what Francois said about your learning progress for french, just keep at it, most french montrealers will appreciate you simply trying your best and might even give you some tips! I encourage you to try and communicate as best you can during your every day life (ie. at cafes, restaurants, the grocery store…) you’ll feel more comfortable doing it on a daily basis if you just keep at it!

As for integrating yourself, doing campus activities and joining clubs is definitely a good option, but you can also go beyond the school grounds and try finding people with similar hobbies as you do in Montreal! Depending on what your hobbies are there are plenty of workshops and activities all around the city you could join (pottery classes, martial arts classes, trivia nights at certain pubs, gamer cafes, and so much more!) I suggest you go online and look for these things as well!

I hope I was able to help and don’t hesitate to ask more questions if you have any! 🙂
