The Montreal Jazz Festival, the Just for Laughs Festival, the International Fireworks Competition, and the Grand Prix Formula One race, are just some examples of the types of events Montreal has to offer in the summer. Going to the Ste Helene Beach or the La Ronde Amusement Park are also some favourite activities of GEOS Montreal students.
Fall in Montreal Fall is a time of stunning colors and long, relaxing walks in the cooler autumn weather! Montrealers love to enjoy the season by hiking on the Mount-Royal or enjoying the gorgeous scenery of Ste Helen’s Island. Favorite activities also include visiting the Montreal Fine Arts Museum, or starting the new season in style by shopping on Ste-Catherine Street. Autumn is also a great time to stroll in the charming “Plateau” neighborhood and stop for a warm, fresh-baked Montreal bagel!
Winter in Montreal Winter in Montreal is filled with so many exciting activities! If you are athletic or love nature, you will find numerous options for snow sports, as well as some amazingly beautiful landscapes to explore. And if you want to keep out of the cold, countless indoor activities await you: museum visits, indoor sports and games, or simply shopping in the underground city; you will never be bored in Montreal!
Spring in Montreal As the snow begins to melt and the weather starts to warm-up, spring brings a sense of rejuvenation to the whole city of Montreal. Spring is also a great time to do some sightseeing, like visiting the Notre Dame Basilica or the Olympic Stadium. Also, no spring season is the same without experiencing the fun of going to one of Montreal’s sugar shack locations!

Choose a Language:
 
  When I decided to come to Canada, I was already informed about the sort of program I would do, first period studying and right after working. However, it wasn't my plan to stay longer and carry it out in Québec, where you must “parler français” to work, since I was a beginner in French.I was really concerned about it, that's why I took 17 weeks of French courses in GEOS language academy Montreal, which have totally helped me to improve my grammar, sharpen up my vocabulary and have a normal conversation with a French native speaker. The next step was to find a job, which could be as simple as working in a store, in a coffee shop, or even in McDonald's. However, what I couldn't imagine was doing an internship in a worldwide company as Rio Tinto. The internship consisted in working for two month/part-time in a research made in English for the department of Community Relations. There, I could practice my French as well, because all the staff was French speaker and moreover very sympathetic and patient to even correct me and teach me some Quebecois expressions. The help I had on having the interview and then the job was someone who GEOS put on my way, my homestay mom. I'm really grateful and thankful for having the opportunity to have lived with such a special family. Nowadays, I can say that I improved my skills in English, French, or even Quebecois expressions and mainly how to work in an enterprise because, even more surprise: It was the first job of my life!
