ark said:The following units (Armour/Inf) are English:
Royal Canadian Hussars (Armour)
Royal Montreal Regiment (Inf)
Black Watch (Inf)
CGG (Inf)
The Recruiting Center in Montreal should have a list of all reserve units with occupations related to each and the language of preference. Watch out for units who claim to be bilingual as they may have a dominant language.
Na$tySal said:Thanks, that was what I was worried about. I'd be in a bilingual unit and it would be mostly French,
they'd be yelling orders at me in French and I would jsut be standing there with a blank stare on my face not even knowing they were talking to me. I'll give those 4 a call Monday to inquire as to more information and just to confirm. Thanks.

I have applied to a bilingual unit in Montreal, and reading this topic, I am wondering how does it work?
Everybody talks in the language they are most confortable with???
I just don't see how that can work.
There has to be a dominant language.
Is there anybody who has experience at a bilingual unit, and can explain how it works?
Thank you
dapaterson said:Legally, all those units are Bilingual units, as is 34 CER (the Engineers).
ark said:Can you elaborate a little on the legal side? My understanding is that units in bilingual regions may be unilingual as long as there exists an alternative in the other language for the same type of unit. In other words, infantry units in Montreal can be unilingual as there are alternatives but units like RCH, 2 FD Arty etc. should be bilingual as they are one of a type.
