Big staff expansion and tax breaks for sure. They aren't having the finance minister there to announce a game lol.

Im pretty sure the news for the 5th wasn't the expansion since it was know before the 5th.

Well, the news was leaked the moment they posted a press convocation.Im pretty sure the news for the 5th wasn't the expansion since it was know before the 5th.
Chicoutimi studio?
Lots of people give a shit about the creation of jobs and investment into a local industry.
I guess I was thinking from a consumer perspective, since it seemed a bit odd to announce job openings in this fashion, but I guess it makes sense for maximized visibility.People who wants a job, maybe? Like half of my generation?

I did, but I was... tunnel visioned, on the Vivendi thing, lol.But it was clear from the start this is a business announcement and not a consumer or product announcement. Did you even read the OP?
New studio in Quebec?
People who wants a job, maybe? Like half of my generation?
The Quebec government offers a tax credit that subsidizes up to 37.5 per cent of salaries paid to technical staff working on video games. Its intended to encourage job creation in the industry.
Unemployment rate in Canada is 6.3% and if you are skilled enough for a job in game programming you shouldn't have many problems finding a job in Canada. People without an academic degree are struggling but I don't know if Ubisoft Quebec is the right place for such people. Probaly if you are an autodidact.

Do you need to speak French in order to get a job at Ubi MTL or QC?
Is Saguenay a cool place to live with a family ? When they expanded to Bordeaux, they clearly said it was to attract seniors of the industry (particularly those who are sick of living in Paris), maybe they want to do the same in Canada and have a studio to retain those who can't stand big cities anymore. Interesting expansion strategy if it's actually the case.

lol of course
The mayor of Saguenay went to the supreme court to fight fpr the right to say catholic prayer before town hall mettings, it is pretty conservative part of the province.
lol of course
Of course not, all of their job postings put french language as a bonus skill
lol of course
Uh no. I've known English-only speakers who worked at Ubi Montreal with no problems.
Montreal is half english, someone hoping to never learn french moving to Saguenay will end up either stoned to death or depressed.
Saguenay yes. He didn't ask about Saguenay, he asked about Montreal or Qc City.
Even Qc city I would say you would lead a miserable existence if you refuse to learn french.
He asked if he could work, not if the quality of life would be nice.

Damn how the first 6 posts in a row are shitposts that don't have anything to do with the news
This is just Ubisoft from QUEBEC CITY announcing something, probably an expansion. The biggest studio in Canada is the Montreal one. Vivendi is a french company. No, Ubisoft getting bought wouldn't make them better at all
GAF hivemind can be really pathetic, after people wonder why gamers are jokes. You wouldn't even see those shit comments/misinpretations on freaking Facebook news comments
You were talking abotu requiring French though:Other people arent robots, so those things are usually quite close to each other, and worth discussing.
Which is quite crazy to be honest, this kind of language policing is very intrusive.If you have more than 50 employees, it is illegal to run your business in english here in Québec.
edit: I am sure some technical positions can be 100% anglo, but you will have a ton of issues sooner or later.
Especially in Saguenay.
Not in MTL. In QC City, you could do it but you'll probably learn French along the way. Saguenay will be unilingual French I guess, it's a small city where everyone speak almost only French.Do you need to speak French in order to get a job at Ubi MTL or QC?

I think it is important, even if you want to live there, if French is a requirement for the job. If you get the job and get to live there, you can still start learning French (assuming the town is not filled with nazis who beat you up because you don't speak their language) after starting your job there. If the job requires French skills in advance, this is not an option and you can spend your time better than to apply there.
