but do it in person if you feel like it’s necessary

you don’t have to bring religion into these things if it doesn’t seem like an issue
and even if you do mention it, it will probably be something like a fun-fact, no biggy

You absolutely have to tell them. In some cases, I would say it's not that important. But I'm French Canadian. We put pork in everything. EVERYTHING. Even fruit pies will have lard in the crust, lard made with pork. You have to tell them well in advance so they can straighten up the food situation. (note: I no longer put pork in anything.) It's possible they will have a problem with you being Muslim, but it's just as likely they won't care. It kinda depends on where you go, too. Montreal has a lot of Lebanese and North African Muslims (due to the language) so you wouldn't really be out of place there. But if you're in a very small town it could be different. Mashallah on you for working on a second (third?) language. Inshallah you will enjoy Quebec, it's a nice province, very pretty. Have a great time.<br><b>References : </b><br> Yes.

You will be praying 5 times a day sometimes in their home, and it would be wise to let them know what's going to be happening. I don't expect there will be any problem at all, but it would be good for the family to have a heads up so to speak.<br><b>References : </b><br> you don’t have to. however, your religion does effect how you behave from day to day.
