Corporate language training for Montreal teams — from the shop floor to the C-suite.

Montreal does business in two languages. French is the language of work in Quebec, while English opens the doors to North American and global markets. Berlitz Canada delivers business language training in Montreal that helps your teams operate with confidence in both — with the Berlitz Method, your employees speak from the first session.

What Language Gaps Cost Montreal Organisations

A language gap rarely looks like a language problem. It shows up as compliance risk, lost deals and teams that don't connect.

Compliance Risk Under Bill 96

Since June 1, 2025, Quebec businesses with 25 to 49 employees must register with the OQLF and begin a francization process. Employees who can't work in French slow that process and leave your organisation exposed to formal notices from the OQLF.

Global Deals Lost to Weak Executive English

In the Montreal area, 21% of workers primarily use English at work, according to Statistics Canada. Leaders who can't pitch, negotiate and present with authority in English lose ground in North American and global markets.

Integration Gaps Slowing Multicultural Teams

In the Montreal area, the share of workers who mainly speak a language other than English or French at home rose from 8% to 12% between 2001 and 2021. Without language and cultural onboarding, international talent takes longer to reach full productivity.
