We also determined that the English language skills already required of other employees do not permit the performance of English language skills tasks related to Principal Engineer, UI/UX position.

However, in Québec, Boston Scientific limits as much as possible the number of positions for which it requires the knowledge of another language than French. Boston Scientific solely requires proficiency in English where it is necessary for the performance of an employee’s duties.
