Which language would be the best to learn as second language besides English in Toronto?

I am planning to move to Toronto next year. I have lots of free time so I have decided to learn a new language. I can't decide between french and spanish. I know many Canadians learn french as second language in school, but I don't know if it would really help in anyway to know french in toronto, in another hand if you know spanish you may have opportunities to work in canadian companies in south america. I'd appreciate people from Toronto to share their views.Which language would be the best to learn as second language besides English in Toronto?
Go french, most of the eastern side of Canada speaks at least a little french, but some are people who are full-blown french.

it really depends on what you want to do and where. As long as you haven't decided on that, or just want it as a hobby, I recommend Esperanto. It's one of the 3 easiest languages around (says guinness book of records, and it doesn't say so about spanish), and it's speakers are all over the world. They aren't very numerous, but they are relatively easy to find.

Because of its structure, lacking irregularities, it'll help you learn other languages faster
French. I live in Toronto, and while it's true that you won't use French as frequently here as you would in cities like Montr茅al or Ottawa, it is still a good skill to have at your disposal. It looks great on the resume to be bilingual in both official languages, especially if you apply for government jobs. If you're a student, there are many French-language competitions, events, programs and scholarships available to you. Sure, Spanish would be useful if you plan on working in South America, but for living in Toronto, it should be French. If you really want to learn Spanish, why not learn both? The two languages are very similar, so learning one will make the other much easier to understand. At least one French credit is required to graduate from Ontario high schools, plus many schools offer Spanish courses as well so you'll be able to dip your feet in both.
I'm not Canadian, I just have relatives there - but I think French s compulsory in school, up to a certain level - poss. equivalent to GCSE. YOu'll be fine with English if you stay in Toronto and don;t travel to other parts of Canada [boring] - but if you visit the francophone areas - Qu茅bec, Montr茅al, the rest of that entire province - you will find whole towns where English is really not spoken much. On the other hand if youplan to stay penned up in one large city, except for possible forays south, then go for Spanish - it is the language of part of North America Mexico; it is widely spoken in the USA, in most of central and south America apart from Brazil, and, of course, Spain... also it is easier to learn than French, if you have no prior knowledge of either . However should you find employment with a company which promptly sends you to Trois Rivi猫res, Spanish will not be much use.
