I don't know just where to post this, but hopefully someone here knows...

What kind of standards does Quebec have for emissions? Sniffer test, visual inspection, what? I'll be moving there in a month and need to know what it takes to pass or if there's even a test at all.

If anybody from Montreal is in here, where's the hot rod shops? Also, I need a job there. Anyone know any good places to look for?

Thanks in advance!

 

I don't think K-bec has anything more than a visual and from what i've heard, it's a pretty quick visual.

 

Quebec has no emmission standards as of yet. I'm in Montreal from time to time for work. What kind of work are you looking for?

 

Thanks for the replies! I will be moving there in about 5 weeks, and I need a job where I can earn some money 'under the table' until I recieve my certificate d'acceptance. I am planning on going to a university there after a while too, but it all depends on how long that stuff takes. I've got eight years U.S. military experience (Marines) so I've been told I could find a good paying security job there. Did you have something in mind?

 

Nothing under the table, sorry.

 

How about not under the table once I get my certificat d'acceptance?

Man, I can't even tell you how happy that makes me that there's no emissions! Maybe my car will find a Pontiac 400 between the fenders after all!

 

Yup, you guys luck out, we get screwed. It sucks.

 

Yup... Quebec has an odd reputation to say the least but I go snowboarding there 40+ times a winter there and it really is nice. Scenery, driving, speed limits... And our version of spirited driving is considered slow poke in Montreal. Your T/A should come in handy . The oddest thing is, Quebecers are friendly and nice in Quebec, its just when they come to Ontario that they get grumpy and snap lol.

Je ne sais pas, mais je vais poser ton question a mom ami qui vien de Beauce.
A bientot.
Tracey

 

J'apprends toujours le francais et je me connais suce. Merci pour essai de m'aider! Seulement trente-trois jours partis. A bientot!!!

 

holay crap am I ever glad most quebecers at the resorts speak anglais! I can kinda understand that but I would never be able to write a reply...
Tracey: I dont know. I asked (or will ask) my friend in Beauce. Blah blah (how could I forget what bientot means?!?!)

AT4: I understand french something something. Thank you for the help. I leave in 33 days. something blah

Ok cmon. Is that even remotely in the area of close?
greg

 

Well, you were close ninety1gta.

Bientot means 'soon'

A bientot translated means 'see you soon'

Don't worry, I suck in French too, but I'm learning!

 

Screw it. We live in C A N A D A . Make them speak english.

 

OK...just heard back from the Frenchie. There are NO emissions tests in Quebec. C'est bon, n'est pas?

 

C'est TRES BIEN!!!!!! Merci!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I already said that in my first post.

You could drive a smoke machine on wheels and they can't do a thing over there.

AT4 T/A: Where abouts are you moving to in Montreal. I'm in Pointe Claire all the time.

 

I'll be just north of the stade d'olympique. Close to Beaubien and Pie IX.

 

Yeah, well, I confirmed it. It's one thing to drive through Quebec with a car from Ontario, it's another to know what it takes to PLATE a car in Quebec.

 

It's another to work in quebec, have everybody that you work with from quebec, company vehicles all from quebec, co-workers that race Tremblant in Quebec, so yeah, I would say I was bang on the money with my statement.

 

Where do the **** do they race in Tremblant? That place is just a big tourist resort/ski town! errr Ive never been in the summer though...
greg

 

Whaddja talkin' bout willis?

 

There's a race track in Quebec called Tremblant. It's like a road course track kinda like Shannonville, but a little more high class. A couple guys in my company run vintage class series. Mostly Mini's and MG's and such. The little puny cars.

 

Sweet. I was picturing a big hill climb style race up Mt. Tremblant. I wonder how far it is from here.
greg

 

Jees, Cruz take it easy. I wasn't trying to turn this into a p*ssing match. Just helpin' the guy out. Nothin' personal.

 

Tracey, Greg est juste jaloux il ne pouvait pas trouver un traducteur français sur l'Internet comme j'ai fait. La chose drôle est je ne parle pas même le français. Je suis parti après la catégorie neuf.

 

Sorry if the translation is not that good Just trying to bug Greg. I don't even speak French.

 

Je m'excuse, mon francais c'est mauvaise pour un garcon qui ont appris en ecole pour trieze ans.

En ma derniere annee en fracais intensif, ma professeuse a dit a moi qu'elle ne sais comment j'ai complet la couse et peux souvenir rien.

Si ma professeuse peut voir ca, elle va se tuer a cause de tout les erreurs de grammaire.

J'aime voir quel reponse Greg va avoir avec cette poste.

greg

 

Three weeks to go gang! I'm outta here on the 14th, and I expect to be in Montreal late on the 16th after some marathon driving! I should be passing by Kitchener on provincial 401 probably on the 16th. If any of you see an '84 Trans Am with a primered front and rear end, black in the middle and some gold on the bottom, and packed to the gills with crap feel free to wave! I know it sounds ghetto, but BACK OFF! It's a work in progress!
