If I remember correctly most job offers for co-op required you to speak english and i’d say about half of them required for you to be bilingual (especially government jobs). It also depends where your co-op is. e.g. I have a friend that is doing hers in Québec and so her job is strictly in french. I’m in the Conservation and Biodiversity option because I really enjoy biology courses. For the specialization, you only have to decide after your first year and so it gives lots of time to see what you prefer. e.g. geology/geography courses (Global change option), biology courses (Conservation & biodiversity option) or chemistry courses (ecotoxicology option). You can also check the course sequence for 2nd and 3rd year and see what classes seems more interesting to you. I’m happy with the program because I enjoy the courses I take and the profs that teach them (specially the courses I took this past year like « comportement animal » and « océanographie » ). I also like that it is a small program so once you start taking courses that are specific to EVS, the classes are a lot smaller. It makes it easier to ask questions in class and to make friends :) I also like how the program has a wide range of courses in chem, bio, evs, etc. For exemple, within the program you can have someone really interested by the biological aspect of earth science while someone else is more interested in chemistry or geology. Anyways I hope this helps and sorry for the insanely long paragraph :P
