What have the counsellors at Employment Canada suggested?
Have you approached social services in Montreal for assistance?
If your mum iis able to care for your child during the day, take French immersion classes. Go to francophone areas of the city to practice yout French. At 38, you are still young enough to master another language.
Are you physically able to volunteer? Volunteer where you can practice French.
Could you be a nanny?
Seek out advice from a priest or rabbi. You don't have to be Catholic or Jewish.
Advertise for employment in the local papers.
I've already fostered 36 dogs, so I certainly have the experience to work with them lol.
The government says they can help with training, but in the future, (few months) because there are like a million levels of approval and they are still working on my file so they said maybe by June. I guess then they'll assess what kind of training could work for me.

For the moment I'm working on getting my driving permit, but there's some great ideas here that I hadn't thought of. Nanny is one.

Luckily, in Quebec we have a victims assistance program, so they do offer some financial compensation (just slowly) and then they sue the attacker for whatever money they give the victim, which is pretty fair.

Thank you for all your suggestions! With some better French, a car and the second surgery I'll be fine, and there's some good ideas for right now too! I could also partner up with a friend and offer house painting services. I'm pretty good at that. Thanks for the laughs and the boost that I needed :)

If you don't mind living in the downtown area of Montreal, working retail would be another option. A lack of French is not an issue. A while back some undercover reporters went applying for jobs downtown. Some said that they spoke only English, while others only French. It turns out that the undercover reporters who stated that they spoke only English received more job offers than those who stated that they spoke only French. There is a strong English speaking community within the downtown area, and I guess the presence of two English language universities there also helps.
