That makes me feel a bit more confident about this. And I was fairly conservative, I might actually score a few points higher in a couple categories. I think my best plan of action right now is to save every penny I can, work hard at gaining as much knowledge as possible at my job to help get employment there, and start working on my French.

I'd like to thank everyone again for your replies. This has all been very helpful. I'll find my way into Canada somehow, hopefully Montreal.

One more question - Is it particularly hard to find a job that will hire a non-citizen? Having employment will be required for me to get there.
Depends on the job, but the IT sector always has openings and they do select a good amount of non-citizens. Anything with IT/Tech/AI/Gaming/Aerospace/Biomedical is always easy for new comers to get to be honest, mainly since we're a global hub for those industries and the demand is insane.

Good luck OP with your future.
Not knowing your health issues, perhaps someone knowledgeable might give you more insight of Quebec's two-tier healthcare system.
I am almost 99% out of the woods now. And my cancer treatments and surgeries were all taken care of by the Province. Even my medication is free and delivered right to my doorstep.

No real health issues, just some arthritis from my Army days. I try to take good care of myself. Wife has no major health issues either, just some asthma.

I never said that. Compliance with health orders and the quality of medical care are two separate issues.
