This is something I'm going back and forth on a lot, because at least nominally trans people have civil rights in Canada and the situation in the US is not getting any *less* scary. I'm a citizen and can prove it, so I can in theory bounce any time I feel like, but I have a lot of ties to the US in terms of friends, family, social groups, and given my family left Canada when I was 5 I know absolutely nobody, which at 40 is pretty drat daunting.

In terms of actual advice, uh..in Montreal itself you can probably get by not knowing French, but god help you if you ever go out to the suburbs.
