I moved to Quebec City from Toronto and I’m having a hard time

Hi all,

10 months ago I (F29) moved from Toronto to Quebec City to live with my boyfriend who is from here. I found remote work so that I could work from Quebec without too much trouble. My French is intermediate, I’m about to start the francisation course, so I hope it keeps improving, it’s not “bad” by any means but it’s difficult when looking for job opportunities.

Currently at home all day in the apartment with no one to talk to . I have no coworkers. I’m having trouble making friends as well. When I try to look for jobs in Quebec City, I either can’t find anything in my field, (I’m not currently working in my desired field) or I’m being rejected based on my “Français: intermédiaire” status on my resume. I’m feeling super isolated and honestly hopeless about the idea of living here forever if I can’t find a community or work that I feel inspired by.

Is there any hope for me? When I see jobs I want they are always in Montreal but my BF doesn’t want to live there.

Please let me know if you know of any communities I can join, or any suggestions on work here.

Merci en advance ❤️
