Une journaliste française installée au Québec raconte son expérience
un sujet a posté IluvMTL dans L'actualité
http://www.journaldequebec.com/2016/06/11/une-journaliste-francaise-installee-au-quebec-raconte-la-realite-dici Une journaliste française installée au Québec raconte son expérience Une journaliste française installée au Québec raconte son expérience COURTOISIE VILLE DE MONTRÉAL Stéphane Plante 002 STÉPHANE PLANTE Samedi, 11 juin 2016 14:06 MISE à JOUR Samedi, 11 juin 2016 14:22 Emmanuelle Walter vit au Québec depuis cinq ans. Elle décrit son expérience en sol québécois et rapporte les témoignages d’autres Français. Pour son article «S'installer au Canada: Français, arrêtez de gueuler et adoptez l'accent!» publié sur le site de l’hebdo L’Obs, la journaliste a recueilli les commentaires d'autres Français ayant élu domicile au Québec depuis quelques années. Si le topo s’avère positif dans l’ensemble, quelques-unes des personnes consultées pour l'article adressent tout de même quelques mises en garde à leurs compatriotes tentés par l'expérience québécoise. Par exemple, les Français nouvellement installés au Québec devraient cesser le plus rapidement possible de comparer leur terre d’accueil avec la France. D'emblée, Emmanuelle Walter se montre sévère envers ses congénères: «Notre ethnocentrisme franco-français est proprement ahurissant.» Une Française ayant témoigné dans l'article abonde dans le même sens. «Tout est tellement différent que la comparaison (entre le Québec et la France) est vaine. À un moment, il faut déplacer son centre de gravité et s'intéresser plutôt, si on veut être pertinent dans les discussions, à ce qui se passe à Toronto, Seattle ou Vancouver», affirme Sarah, qui œuvre dans le secteur des communications. La question de l’accent, bien sûr, demeure au centre des préoccupations des Français au Québec. Comme l’affirme une des femmes citées par la journaliste, les nouveaux arrivants se doivent d’être à l’écoute sans condescendance. «Je conseille aux néo-arrivants français d'ouvrir grand leurs oreilles, de ranger leur mépris pour l'accent au placard, de comprendre les différents registres (la langue parlée est très différente de la langue écrite) et d'adopter avec jouissance le maximum d'expressions québécoises.» Les relations de travail «à la québécoise» sont aussi commentées par un jeune entrepreneur d’origine française à la tête d’une start-up de jeux vidéo. «Tu ne peux pas formaliser un reproche de manière abrupte. Il faut réfléchir à l'avance à la manière dont tu vas le verbaliser. Sinon, l'employé claque la porte et va voir ailleurs, et je sais de quoi je parle. C'est à l'opposé du management sanguin de Marseille, d'où je viens! Moi, j'y ai trouvé beaucoup d'apaisement.» Dans l'article, Emmanuelle Walter parle aussi de l’éducation des enfants, du féminisme tel qu’il est perçu chez nous et de l’hiver québécois. sent via Tapatalk -

Michaels in Quebec may spark arts and crafts battle with homegrown DeSerres
un sujet a posté IluvMTL dans L'actualité
MONTREAL - A battle is brewing for Quebec arts and crafts shoppers as North American giant Michaels prepares to enter the province Friday with the opening of seven stores. The move by the Texas-based retailer will put it in closer competition with homegrown DeSerres, which is opening its 18 location in the province and 28th across Canada. After three years of planning, Michaels will open stores in suburban locations in Gatineau, LaSalle, Lachenaie, St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, St-Jerome, Vaudreuil-Dorion, and Laval. The move comes 17 years after it expanded into English Canada. "We wanted to make sure we were 100 per cent compliant to the rules and regulations of the Quebec government and we wanted to make sure that we were going to provide an unbelievable shopping experience to our customer," Tom Making, president of Michaels Canada, said in an interview from St-Jean-sur-Richelieu. He said Michaels translated 2.5 million words to ensure that its packaging and signage was trilingual in English, French and Spanish to service customers in Quebec and the United States. Michaels has invested $20 million in the Quebec stores, hired 500 workers and developed a new store prototype that includes better lighting, wall graphics and wider aisles. It has also signed up four Quebec vendors to supply books, stamping and scrapbooking materials. The Quebec stores will offer the same merchandising as its 92 other stores in Canada, but it will target the Quebec consumer with a larger yarn department, beading area and expanded framing section. "The Quebec public is a very creative customer in crafts, in fine arts and we offer that unique shopping experience in all of our stores." Making said the arrival of Michaels will "enhance" the market along side the 104-year-old DeSerres chain. "We offer a different product line. Our objective is to bring a whole new crafting experience to the Quebec consumer and I think we will enhance one another." DeSerres president Marc DeSerres said Michaels will only have a short-term impact on a few of its nearby stores. "You always have to be concerned when someone with large means comes in your territory but I feel we are prepared," he said in an interview from Paris where he was shopping for new products. "We have a different offer, we're based here, we're Canadian-owned, we know the market and we adjust our stores based on the market." As a smaller company, DeSerres said it can bring in new products and follow trends much quicker than Michaels. While Michaels is strong in crafts, DeSerres said his stores excel at fine arts. They sell canvases made in Montreal, notebooks manufactured in Toronto and artist paints made in Canada. "(Michaels is) putting themselves close to Walmart so the selection is probably close to Walmart's and they will probably compete more with Walmart and the dollar store than us." Michaels operates more than 1,070 big box stores averaging 1,800 square metres and plans to add more stores in Quebec in the next five years. About nine per cent of its more than US$4.2 billion of sales in fiscal 2011 came from Canada. The stores carry more than 35,000 products. Nearly half its sales are in general products and children's crafts, according to its 2011 annual report. The rest is divided among home decor and seasonal, framed and scrapbooking goods. Opened in 1983, it was purchased in 2006 by private equity firms Bain Capital, founded by U.S. presidential candidate Mitt Romney, and The Blackstone Group. Michaels employs about 45,300 workers, including 34,600 who are part-time and nearly 5,000 in Canada. Note to readers: This is a corrected story. An earlier version said Michaels had 89 other stores in Canada Read more: http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/all/Arts+crafts+retailer+entering+Quebec+market+with+seven/7229361/story.html#ixzz26J95n6OG -

Ste. Catherine St. has top lease rates Tied with Bloor St. in Toronto. Most expensive retail corridors in Canada By LYNN MOORE, The Gazette June 8, 2010 Toronto's Bloor St. and Montreal's Ste. Catherine St. are Canada's most expensive retail corridors, according to Colliers International's 2010 Global Retail Report, released yesterday. Ste. Catherine St. is tied in 32nd position with Toronto's Bloor St. on the global list of shopping hot spots. Merchants in the two most popular Canadian shopping areas pay an average lease rate of $300 per square foot, according to the report. The 2010 Winter Olympic festivities in Vancouver were not enough for the city's marquee retail stroll -Robson St., with its average rate of $200 per square foot -to overtake Toronto and Montreal's premier retail streets on the list. Jim Smerdon, director of retail and strategic planning with Colliers, said the retailers themselves set the lease rates according to the importance of the location. "The hallmark of strong retail streets is a blend of the size of the market, things like accessibility and parking, and a host of intangibles such as the history of the street as a commercial destination," he said. Even though Toronto is larger than Montreal and the commercial capital of Canada with more head offices and wealthy residents, it's not surprising that Ste. Catherine St.'s shops can command the same rent, Smerdon said. Ste. Catherine St., which is often thick with pedestrians night and day, is an experience, he acknowledged. "Montreal is more of a destination for shoppers than Toronto is ... and Ste. Catherine is more of a lifestyle experience," he said. In 31st spot on the Colliers list was Honolulu's Kalakaua Ave. and 33rd spot was occupied by Amsterdam's Kalverstraat. The report shows that Canada's most exclusive streets are a bargain compared with the world's priciest, in such places as Paris, New York, Hong Kong and London, where rates per square foot exceed $1,000. Topping the list was the Champs Elysees in Paris, with an average lease rate of about $1,256. All figures in the report are in U.S. dollars. The information comes from surveys and material supplied by Colliers staff in 61 countries, Smerdon said. lmoore@thegazette.canwest.com © Copyright © The Montreal Gazette Read more: http://www.montrealgazette.com/business/Catherine+lease+rates/3125235/story.html#ixzz0qXanL7Xi

Driving in Montreal is an experience Posted By Marshall, Scott Updated 1 hour ago Driving in different places can be difficult to many people. The fear of not knowing where you're going can be very overwhelming. Roads you've never seen before and higher than normal traffic can lead to high anxiety. I was recently in Montreal and if you've ever driven there you'll already know it's an experience of a lifetime. The cab ride from the airport to my hotel was interesting to start with. The driver didn't use his turn signals. Most people will use them at least most of the time. It lets other road users know your intentions. In Montreal, it lets other drivers know what your plans are early enough so they can speed up and block your move. If you're in Montreal you don't signal. That way nobody knows your moves. We all know that fuel prices are higher than we would all like, so the drivers in Montreal decided to work together to save fuel. They follow each other very closely so they can cut down on wind resistance. Race car drivers call this 'drafting'. The cab driver was driving close enough to the traffic in front of them that it looked like they were being towed by the driver in front. I thought it was very nice of the lead driver, or drivers, to avoid suddenly stopping. That was nice of them, don't you think? Most drivers would understand they need to have some response time from the driver in front if they stop suddenly. Wouldn't you? You should leave more of a following distance if the driver ahead of you is unsure of where they are going so they'll have enough room to turn around as necessary. As a side note, following further back also give you more to stop if the lead driver stops suddenly. We should all know that, right? Now, I enjoy playing and watching sports like a lot of people do. I like the competitiveness of sports. Being a pedestrian in Montreal seems like it's a sport to many of the drivers in Montreal, though. When the cab driver was driving along the road and was about to enter an intersection, a pedestrian stepped off the curb right in front of us. There was no horn honking and only a slight swerve was done to avoid hitting them. Maybe you need to drive as close as possible to a pedestrian when you're driving there? I didn't see the rules for this one, so maybe I'm wrong. I may have exaggerated my thoughts here, but every event did actually happen. The bottom line here is no matter where you drive, keep space around your vehicle and communicate to other road users. Plan your route so you know where your turns are and get into the proper lane well in advance. If you do all of this, you'll be safe driving - even while in Montreal!

Le Québec, terre de travail accueillante Travail. Un programme incite les PME à embaucher et à former des immigrés qualifiés. Par Emmanuelle LANGLOIS QUOTIDIEN : lundi 24 septembre 2007 Québec (Canada) de notre correspondante loadNbReaction('NbReactions',curDocId); Terre d’immigration, le Québec accueille chaque année près de 45 000 immigrants dont la venue est censée mettre un frein au vieillissement de la population, à la pénurie de main d’œuvre et à la dénatalité. Plus de la moitié d’entre eux sont sélectionnés en raison de leur niveau d’études, de leur expérience professionnelle et de leur connaissance des langues officielles : le français et l’anglais. Dès leur arrivé sur le sol québécois, ces nouveaux arrivants doivent partir à la recherche d’un emploi. Un processus qui se révèle souvent long et délicat : le taux de non-emploi des immigrants atteint 12,7 %, contre 7,4 % pour les personnes nées au Canada. Pour contrecarrer cette réalité, le ministère de l’Immigration et des communautés culturelles et celui de l’Emploi et de la solidarité sociale développent des programmes destinés à faciliter l’intégration : cours de langue, programmes d’accueil et d’insertion professionnelle… Adaptation. L’arme la plus efficace est le Programme d’intégration professionnelle des personnes immigrantes, baptisé Priime. «Les immigrants sont confrontés à la non-reconnaissance de leurs acquis et de leurs compétences, confie Serge Durand, d’Emploi-Québec. Ce qui mène à une déqualification de cette population. Avec le Priime nous favorisons l’obtention d’une première expérience professionnelle au Québec, clé de voûte d’un début de carrière.» Lancé en 2005, le Priime s’adresse aux PME. En prenant en charge 50 % du salaire d’un immigrant pendant six mois, il favorise le recrutement de personnes qui vivent leur première expérience de travail dans leur domaine de compétences. Le Priime paye également pendant trois mois le salaire d’un employé «accompagnateur», chargé d’aider à l’intégration, et subventionne les formations destinées à faciliter l’adaptation du nouvel engagé au contexte de travail nord-américain. Financé grâce aux intérêts générés par le Programme des immigrants investisseurs - lors de leur arrivée sur le sol québécois, ils effectuent un dépôt de garantie d’au moins 250 000 dollars canadiens (177 000 euros) destiné à prouver leur capacité à créer des emplois -, le Priime a reçu une subvention de 5 millions de dollars (3,5 millions d’euros) entre 2006 et 2007, laquelle a permis l’embauche de 900 immigrants. «Il ne faut pas se leurrer, sans cette politique incitative, ces PME n’auraient pas opté pour l’embauche d’immigrés», soutient Babakar-Pierre Touré, directeur général du Service d’orientation et d’intégration des immigrants au travail (Soiit). Reste que près de 100 % des participants obtiennent un emploi fixe une fois le temps du Priime écoulé. Michel Ganache, directeur général de Momentum Technologies, firme de consultants en informatique de la région de Québec, en sait quelque chose. Depuis sa création en 2003, son entreprise a embauché 21 immigrants. «Nous avons tenté l’expérience du Priime en 2005 avec deux Mexicains et elle s’est révélée très concluante, tant auprès de notre clientèle qu’au sein de l’entreprise», explique-t-il. Les 7 000 dollars (4 900 euros) qu’il reçoit lorsqu’il offre un poste de six mois à un nouvel arrivant sont à ses yeux l’équivalent d’une prime de risque. «Je prends le risque d’accueillir une personne dont il est difficile de valider la réalité du curriculum vitæ alors le gouvernement me donne un coup de pouce, analyse-t-il. Et, au final, je suis gagnant puisque ce sont des personnes qui ont plusieurs années d’expérience dans leur pays et qui ne nécessitent qu’une mise à niveau et une familiarisation avec le marché québécois.» «Diversité.» Désormais, 11 communautés - Brésiliens, Péruviens, Béninois, Ghanéens, Algériens, etc. - se côtoient dans les locaux de Momentum à la grande satisfaction du directeur. «Il y a aussi des investissements et une adaptation de notre part puisqu’il faut réussir la cohabitation. Il faut tenir compte de cette diversité lorsque nous organisons des activités sociales ou des sorties familiales et cela amène un défi supplémentaire positif.» Directeurs des ventes, comptables, ingénieurs, analystes et programmeurs informatiques, personnel administratif sont autant de postes qui ont été pourvus au cours de la dernière année. Il n’existe a priori pas de limite au Priime : tous les immigrants sont éligibles. «Le marché du travail fluctue et il est certain que les postes dans les secteurs en pénurie sont plus faciles à trouver, précise toutefois Babakar-Pierre Touré. Actuellement, plus que d’ingénieurs, le Québec est à la recherche de techniciens, de plombiers et de bouchers.»
