New Brunswick is the only official bilingual province in Canada. Believe it or not Quebec is not officially bilingual.
There are pockets of French in all provinces.
St Anne's University in Nova Scotia is a french university:

Université de Moncton, Moncton, New Brunswick
Canada's largest entirely French-speaking university outside Québec. Student enrollment of 6,000 students.
I am sure every province as a university that will teach you french. However in order to practice you need to find a predominently french population to practice. If it was me I would choose New Brunswick to learn french. |

Although Canada is officially bilingual (English-French), you will not hear a lot of it spoken in most of the provinces west of Ontario. Quebec is the only province in Canada that is predominantly French, although New Brunswick and Nova Scotia does have a large enough population based on its Acadian heritage.
I would expect you could learn French at just about any university in Canada. But, if you want to learn French at a university where the local population also speaks it so you can practice it, then I would recommend one of the following universities. Of course, some would be better than others if you are going into languages for graduate studies. If you are just taking French courses as a minor for another program you are in, then any would probably do.
Here is a list of English universities who have French courses, in cities with high French content:
- Concordia University, Montreal, QC
- McGill University, Montreal, QC
- Bishop's University, Lennoxville, QC
- Ottawa University, Ottawa, ON
- Carleton University, Ottawa, ON
- University of New Brunswick, Fredericton, NB
- Mount Allison University, Sackville, NB
- Cape Breton University, Sydney, NS |

Contrary to part of SteveN's answer (which has a bunch of great information), you will find french in Western Canada. Winnipeg has a strong french quarter called St. Boniface, which is home to a small university. Here is the link - http://www.ustboniface.mb.ca/ The site is 'en francais'.
Many small towns in southern Manitoba have strong french communities as well. While we don't rival Quebec or its immediate neighbours, there is a healthy french-speaking population here as well. |
