Cold Emailing Montreal

Looking to get into banking here in Canada and have been suggested to reach out to bankers in Montreal since I speak French. Just wondering on the Montreal environment there - do they all primarily speak french to each other or a mix of French and English or just English? I did a little corporate stint in Montreal but my office primarily spoke English so wondering if the banks operate similarly.

I am primarily debating if I should reach out with a cold email in french? I personally prefer speaking English.

I come from an English speaking university but have a French Baccalaureate (Native French). I am a little out of practice tho - only speaking it at home with one of my parents and their friends.

I was hoping someone who worked in Montreal could provide color on this.
