<p>You’d be surprised at how many people speak French in Montreal 
Even if they aren’t native speakers, most people there know how to speak English fluently (especially the younger people).</p>
<p>Victoria has absolutely lovely weather. It isn’t really more sunny than Montreal/other Canadian cities (you can look up it’s annual sunshine hours if you want), but it’s climate is really mild and comfortable. During the summer, it almost never goes above 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) and during the winter, it rarely drops below 0 degrees Celsius (32 Fahrenheit). However, keep in mind that it’s on Vancouver Island, so if you wanted to go to say Vancouver itself, you would have to take an 1.5 hour long ferry.</p>
