Hey obscure,
Wearing a hijab isn't usually a problem. But don't expect to be able to wear it in sports or at some types of work (where it might pose a safety risk). During classes it is fine, and in a college setting there are no rules against it.
If you're really worried about it though, contact Concordia, and pose the question with them. Explain you've seen some of the 'anti-hijab' articles coming from Quebec, and would like to know the school's stance on day to day wear.

it's quite common to see sikhs wearing turbans. I think the issues usually only arise in school classrooms (not university or colleges) and in sports and some industries.

Obscure Island,
I studied myself at Concordia University from 2004 to 2006 and I really wouldn't worry too much about wearing your hijab in school. Of course, you can expect getting the odd looks and perhaps, even some frowning, but that would be the case anywhere... Montreal is very 'live and let live'...
Welcome in Montreal... I hope you like it here... (when you come)

Maybe it is Canadian culture that tells them to stick by the rules of the sport. I am all for that. Why must the Western nations bend to muslims while muslims enforce strict conduct on western culture in muslim nations. Why are their values given priority over ours? When people from the west visit those countries they must adhere to their law. Fine. When they are here they must abide by our laws and rules.

your attitude to sport is wise, I think.
Feel free to join in some of the other discussions (although possibly not the ones about goats, unless you're made of strong stuff), we'd enjoy hearing your views on other subjects

There are a few people online who are currently making rude jokes about goats. I mentioned it by way of a warning. Try not to be too shocked, they're only having fun
