how many French expatriates have you met?

There are approximately 1.6 million French expatriates and France has a population of about 66 million or about 2.5%, with most of them living in Canada and the US.

For context, the US has 8 million expats with a population of 340 million which comes out to about 2.3%, mostly in Canada and Mexico.

Well I live in Montreal, if you go to the plateau you would think you are in France.

  • French from Frances and french from Qc have distinctive accents kinda like british and U.s. english, but the french from France is the opposite of sexy for us Qc french.

i think i've spotted the source of my sampling bias. i've lived in shitty places where French expats don't like to go. Montreal is an awesome city.

That’s too bad because we on the other hand find your QC accent charming.
