WHAT DOES FRENCH CANADIAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

French Canadian

French Canadian

French Canadians are a major North American ethnic group derived from the descendants of French colonists who arrived in New France in the 17th and 18th centuries. Today, French Canadians constitute the main French-speaking population of Canada, accounting for about 22% of the total population of that country. During the mid-18th century, Canadian colonists born in French Canada expanded across North America and colonized various regions, cities, and towns. Today, French Canadians live across North America, including the United States and Canada. The province of Quebec has the largest population of French-Canadian descent, though smaller communities exist throughout Canada and in the United States. Between 1840 and 1930, roughly 900,000 French Canadians emigrated to the United States, mostly to the New England region. Other terms for French Canadians that continue to reside in the province of Quebec, are Quebecers or Québécois. The other major group of French Canadians are the Acadians who reside in the Maritime Provinces.
