Canadian schools

[Sarveswara]

Are there any provinces or cities where learning French is not mandatory in primary school and high school.

According to http://www.city-data.com/forum/canada/731462-relocating-india-edmonton-ca.html you might find schools in rural Manitoba that offer German as a second language. However, I do not believe that you should pick a town to settle in based on French not being mandatory in school. You should first pick a town where you can find a good job and then you can look for schools in that area that offer whatever you are after.

Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Hill,_Ontario#Education to find more info on Richmond Hill.
Also look for Richmond Hill here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/York_Region_District_School_Board#Elementary_schools to see the names of schools
and you can find the websites or profiles for those schools here: http://www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/page.cfm?id=S00000097&status=0&list=0&munic=0

This is your school district page about kindergarten registration: http://www.yrdsb.edu.on.ca/page.cfm?id=S00000094 You should go to the school to register your child. You can also visit different schools before you sign a lease so you can pick a good school for him and then look for an apartment close to it.

Hi there,

why don't you ask your question on http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/moms-dadswhat-about-schools-system-in-canada-t67806.0.html as many are discussing the schools matter in there.
