Answer 1

You will need a work visa to work legally.  You might be able to find some under the table work though.

If you are looking for a service industry job in Montreal I hope you speak French.

Answer 2

Jezz......Another Yank who thinks he can  " just drive up to Montreal and get a job "

It's a " Different Country " dude.

So NO you can't do that..............OK ?

As they say in Montreal..............Bonn Chance, Doofus .

Answer 3

you must have a work permit to work in Canada............being paid under the counter can get you and your employer in alot of trouble and you will be deported from Canada

Answer 4

It's doubtful that you can find anyone who is prepared to hire you illegally here, for a bartending job for which you have no experience, without fluent French.

Remember that anyone in the country without a work visa is not entitled to any services, such as health, and may have a problem renting anywhere to live (they ask for an employer's reference.0
