There are over 75,000 French speaking people registered with the consulates in Montreal and Quebec City, over double from 2005. Registration is not required so there are probably close to 150,000 people actually living in the region. Who are these French people? On average, age 44, liberals, good jobs, and living in Montreal.
They have left their homeland looking for a lifestyle upgrade. One surprising aspect of life in Quebec is how rich it seems.
The unemployment rate is usually a few points lower and money stretches further compared with Paris.
The province has lots of space, water is cheap, and many have a swimming pool.
Winters can be frigid and icy, but many of the newcomers describe Quebec as open, not cold. They mean it literally for the economy, temperaments, and geography.
The French natives are surprised by the lack of shutters on the homes in Montreal.

A casual reception
People in the French speaking regions of Canada are more casual and friendlier than their homeland. One immigrant was shocked at the greeting when you go into a store, “How are you?” A much more causal welcome than the French “vous”. Quebec has a more open economy with fewer laws on hiring, starting a business, and firing. There are opportunities for newcomers in Canada.
