Languages in Canada
English and French share federal official status, but everyday language changes by region. French is central in Québec, while New Brunswick is officially bilingual and Acadian communities extend through the Maritimes.
Why go
Language affects signs, interpretation and conversations as you move between Québec, New Brunswick and the rest of Canada. French-speaking communities also live outside Québec, and many other languages are spoken across the country. A regional approach is more useful than assuming every place is bilingual in the same way.
Useful to know
Expect French to be prominent in Québec and allow time to read French-language signs and interpretation.
In New Brunswick and Acadian areas of the Maritimes, look for local English and French naming.
For federal services, English and French have equal official status.
