André Picard joined the NWC in 1800 and worked with them at an unknown location to 1811. Between 1811-1814 he was found working in the Columbia or New Caledonia and is presumed to have worked there until the coalition, at which time he joined the HBC. He spent most of his career as a middleman but later on became an interpreter. In 1827, when Picard was in charge of Okanagan, Thompson River clerk Archibald McDonald noted that Picard was "Ingenious - speaks the Okanagan well - is weak as a voyageur" (HBRS X, p. 229). In 1833-1834, he sold horses to botanist David Douglas, whowas once again in the area. In 1836-1842 he is listed as being a settler and freeman in the Willamette River Valley during which time he sold furs and grain to the Company. He died in 1846 at St. Paul, Oregon. Being one of the twelve earliest settlers on French Prairie, Picard is celebrated by a plaque on a boulder at Old St. Paul Cemetery.

André Picard had two wives and at least five children. With his first wife, who died before 1839, he no doubt had at least one daughter, most likely Emelie (c.1822-c.1900) for by 1827 was noted by Simpson as having a wife and two girls. He chose Marie/Marguerite Okanagan around 1830 and formalized his marriage on January 21, 1839. His recorded children with Marie/Marguerite were Jean Baptiste (c.1830-?), Basile (c.1832-?), and Regis (c.1836-?). The family of his daughter Emilie live in Okanogan County, Washington State.
