Would it be hard to make friends and date in Montreal with only English?

Hi all, I would love to move to Montreal in a few years (well, if I get into McGill for graduate school PhD or Concordia as both are English-speaking universities). I have hearing loss issues and speech issues and I think speaking French and hearing French would be hard. But I could read and write it I think.

Would it be hard to make friends and date people if I only speak English? A family friend speaks French very well and lived in Montreal. and said if you do not know French, many will look down on you, and you will feel isolated and excluded in many ways because of this I deem. Also, I have been told many of the night life and events would chiefly be in French, so I would be missing out? I know Montreal is bilingual, but my family friend is saying do not move there hoping you will have a great circle of friends or dating prospects will be high, but she did say you would have an easier time connecting at McGill because it is English speaking overall. I don't know, I had my hopes up on Montreal for McGill, but I don't want to feel like a total outsider at times to looked down upon because I do not speak French? Will it be hard if all of the social events are mainly in French then in Montreal
