Default Most Valuable Second Languages to Know

What do you guy and girls think the most valuable second languages to learn will be for a Canadian growing these days?

Obviously French is important, at least in Eastern Canada. I am sending my girl to a French school next year as we currently live in Quebec.

But I would like to introduce her at a young age to at least one other language that will provide value.

I was thinking Mandarin or Japanese, although both might be difficult. I am also wondering if Japanese still carries the same value these days as it did in the 80s and 90s. I also thought about Arabic, but I heard it is extremely difficult.

I was also thinking German, and from what I have been told, it tends to be easier for an English speaker to learn.

Does Russian carry much wait these days?

I speak Croatian/Serbian, albeit at probably a junior highschool level, but honestly, I don't see it as hugely valuable for her to invest a lot of time in.
