Do: try Montreal bagels + poutine — regional specialties. Basic French is genuinely useful outside downtown. Don't: attempt to cross into the USA by land without US-visa clearance; land-border crossings check strictly. Watch for: winter St Lawrence ice can close the seaway (Dec-March normally); Montreal container-fleet redirects to Halifax during closure.
