They only province that mostly speaks french is Quebec. Most of our provinces touch the U.S border. B.C. Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, PEI, NWT Nunavut, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Yukon, Nova Scotia....are all mostly English. There are many people who speak french in every province, and there are french-immersion and francophone only schools everywhere, but Quebec is the only province I know for sure has all their signs in French. Everywhere else is English. And about B.C....pretty soon the dominant language will be mandarin...lol. At least in Vancouver. Mandarin and punjabi. But to answer your question...B.C. has a statistically higher number of people who speak English. As does the rest of the country, except Quebec. While French is an official language, English is the one most of us use. Hope that helped.

French is the official language of Quebec. New Brunswick also has French has one of its two official languages. You'll also find a good number of French speakers in eastern Ontario and in some towns in Manitoba. Across the rest of the country, while there are a few locales where French is predominantly spoken, English is more predominant than French.

British Columbia is mostly English-speaking.

Quebec is the only Canadian province with a predominantly french speaking population and the only one whose sole official language is french at the provincial level

Quebec is predominantly French speaking, but many speak both English and French and other languages.

Other provinces, it is mostly English, with some areas of large numbers who speak Chinese, as well as, the other 169 languages that are spoken.

The only Canadian province that is officially French-speaking is QuÃ©bec.

The province of New Brunswick is officially bilingual (English and French).

Other provinces with no official linguistic status to have sizable French-speaking communities are Ontario (concentrated in Northern and Eastern Ontario), Manitoba (especially around Winnipeg-Saint-Boniface; the province was founded as a French-speaking MÃ©tis colony), Saskatchewan and Alberta (concentrated in Leduc, just west of Edmonton).

There are also smaller communities out in Nova Scotia and Newfoundland-and-Labrador and up in the Yukon, Northwest Territory and Nunavut, (in the latter, French is one of eight official languages).

The only provinces where Francophones are not readily identifiable are British Columbia and Prince Edward Island.

French is the official language of both Quebec. New Brunswick and the Yukon are bi-lingual (french and english). Northwest Territories and Nunavut are multi-lingual (french, english and native languages are all official) Every other province is officially english.

Most people in British Columbia speak english. But there are many immigrants in the big cities in BC, so unless you speak Chinese don't expect everyone to speak your tongue.

Quebec is the French speaking province and BC has way more people speaking English than French. I think less than 10% of the BC population speaks French and if they do they're also fluent in English as well.

Quebec and New Brunswick are the only 2 official "bi-lingual" provinces...BC is English..hence the "British" in it's name

Quebec is French speaking in Canada. It was where the French explorers first landed. thats why it's called Quebec named after a french explorer.

Believe it or not, BC is actually majority speaking Russian and Dutch.

Some in Manatoba & Ontario speak French too. But Quebec is counted as French Canada.
