6 reasons to learn French to immigrate to Canada
Why you should consider learning French, even if you speak perfect English.
Canada is a bilingual country: English and French are the official languages. English is spoken by the majority (over 75%) and is the most widely spoken language in all Canadian provinces and territories except Quebec.
French is spoken by just over 21% of Canadians. French is the only official language in the province of Quebec, and French-speaking communities can be found throughout the country. New Brunswick and Ontario are home to hundreds of thousands of people for whom French is the primary language. Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and Manitoba each have tens of thousands of francophones.
