If you are Quebecois, I'd be curious to actually know how you sound. There are a lot of them (my husband included) that cannot be distinguished from a native speaker with the exception of a few key words (get a French guy to say "register" and you'll see it!). This seems especially true for those who are younger (a lot more exposure to English than older generations) and grew up in Montreal.
Either way, with a Canadian passport, I would suspect that a lot of employers would not even notice your accent. It really depends on how you sound. |

I suspect that those employers who are not native speakers of English wouldn't even notice if your English has a tiny trace of a French accent. |

The accent, I noticed, is somewhat very minimized if I speak slowly, which is something I should do whatever language I speak anyway, it really does make a difference!  |
