Living and working in Québec
Quebec's provincial capital: government jobs, insurance (Desjardins, iA), and a tourism sector driven by Old Quebec. Its job market is structurally the tightest in the province, meaning strong job security but a real struggle for local employers to find candidates.
Typical employers and sectors: provincial government, insurance and finance, tourism, technology (video games, optics-photonics).
