Montreal French differs from Paris French just as the American English differs from British English. There are also differences between Canadian English and American English. We can all understand each other. My instructors were Québécois but I had no trouble communicating when working in Paris after graduation. My French is sort of a blend of Québécois and Parisian French with a touch of a Boston accent that comes through even in French. Once in Paris I was asked if I was Belgian!

There is no stigma being American. McGill is about 12% American students. Be prepared for a very liberal environment though.
