Answer 3

It's not quite that simple. In the province of Quebec, most people speak French, but in Montreal, English is the language you will mostly hear. Canada is a bilingual country and many Canadians are fluent in both languages. There are french-Canadian communities in almost all provinces and most school districts across the country offer parents the option of putting their children in all-English speaking classes, or in French immersion classes, where all classes are taught in French.

Answer 4

East of Quebec [mainly New Brunswick] is where the majority of Français is spoken. Northern Ontario has a French influence.

Answer 5

Everyone has given you the correct answer, but you might be interested to know that going West from the Provence of Quebec ( The primary French speaking area of the country), lies the city of Ottawa ( Canada's Capital ), This city is divided into two parts ( English, and French ), divided/ connected by a number of bridges.

Technically speaking though, the French section is called Hull, and not Ottawa, but one would not even notice it.  Hull is by far smaller than Ottawa.

Answer 6

French is spoken mainly in Quebec but they can understand english too. No real borders. That is why there are two official languages in Canada - French and English.**

Answer 7

there isn't a "border" per say.

its just when you drive further west you start noticing that less people speak french,, same as when you travel more east you start noticing more people speak french.

but that doesn't really mean anything because there are some families in the west who speak french and a lot in the east who speak english. so ya, thats all you notice, but theres no borders.

Answer 8

Candyland street.

Answer 9

Quebac is mainly French speaking.  But there is no real border as such.

There is just a lot of French people there more than elsewhere and they leave near that area as well.

It was from years ago in about 1750-1800 when France and England invaded Canada and settled after negotiations, because of the statemate from the battles that occured there.

Answer 11

there is none

Answer 12

The only place they speak French here is in Quebec..and thats just 1 province out of 10 provinces and 3 territories..so really not that many people speak it

Answer 13

There is no exact border. Quebec is a primarily speaking French province, which means that english is a secondary language. Quebec is located in the East. However, the rest of Canada varies with a mix of french and english speaking citizens.

Answer 14

French is spoken in Quebec, but also a good portion of eastern Ontario and New Brunswick.  There are a few other locations as well scattered around the rest of the country.

Road signs in Quebec are only in French.  Road signs in Ontario are in English, although highway signs are in both languages around Toronto and street and highway signs are in both languages in Ottawa and many of the counties that border Quebec.

Answer 15

Ontario and Quebec also Newfound land and New Brunswick the provinces around Quebec

Answer 16

You can only call Quebec a French speaking area. The rest of Canada has barely any Francophones/bilingual people.

Answer 17

Technicaly there is no border, but officaly Quebec is the only primarily french speaking province, so the border of quebec is actualy the border of the french speaking canadian world.

Answer 18

French is spoken primarily in Quebec and New Brunswick.  French speaking communities can be found throughout the country, both eastern and western Canada.  Many large cities will also have a fair sized francophone community.

There is no requirement for all government employees to be bilingual, unlike what was stated by a previous answerer.
