“Montreal’s French invasion: Why immigrants from France are moving in en masse”

Admin — Sun, 07 Dec 2014 03:09:26 +0000

“By 2013, nearly 55,000 French citizens were registered at the French consulate in Montreal, up by about 45 per cent from 2005, according to the consulate. In reality, that number is likely much higher. A consulate spokesman estimates only about half of the French in Canada register, putting the estimated number of French citizens in Montreal at about 110,000. Toronto and Quebec City are the next most popular destinations, each home to about 10,000 registered French citizens.”
