Canada is a bit of a special case. In fact, I studied in Quebec which is a Francophone region. This was not a problem for me since I already spoke fluent French after spending four years in Toulouse. However, the Quebecois French is really weird, so they have a lot of slang I didn't know, most of which I still don't know... However, Bishop's teaches all courses in English only, so you can actually spend a whole year at Bishop's without ever having to speak any French. So if you are like me and you speak fluent English before you leave, then that will do you nicely.
