Suspended doesn't mean it's cancelled. CAQ govt. is revamping their immigration policies. So far it seems they favor culturally fit Francophones from Europe than any other merit. They also have policies (Bill 21 & Bill 9) in p

You haven't missed anything. St Catherine's street is all the nightlife you get in Montreal. As a resident of Montreal in my opinion, a tourist will find the city good for a week or so partly because of its unique look n feel Euro
