Hi Rickie-
have you checked out EasyExpat's guide to Montreal (http://www.easyexpat.com/en/montreal.htm)? It is a good place to get acquainted with the city.

As for jobs- the section on employment lists:
http://www.law.mcgill.ca/students/cpo_links-en.htm :for part time and summer positions, law societies, bar associations, legal career directories, general employment information… so as you understood, it's mainly for legal career.

Best of luck!

 

Hi Rickie,

I've been in the same situation. Actually I've already lived in Montreal for 8 months and I loved it. Although the job what I found was ok but definately not what I really enjoy to do, just got enough money to live.
I can tell you my experiences: When I arrived at the first time I took a risk and started to find a job by my self in a Monday morning. I went to deferent places with my printed CV and I gave to the companies' HR people in hotels at downtown. I found a job in 2 days. Not kidding 2 days if you are lucky you can find a job to earn money. That is ok for a good start and then you can go for a better one but in the meantime I can say you should go for it and enjoy Montreal it is a really good city.
Maybe one day we gonna meet there.

Regards,
Viki
