Under the Canada-Québec Accord, Québec has an immigration office in this city.

• A. Beirut
• B. Paris
• C. Damascus
• D. Ottawa

Answer: (C)

Under the Canada-Québec Accord, Québec runs its own immigration processes and even maintains an overseas office to help prospective immigrants who want to settle in Québec. The city chosen for this office is Paris, France, because it is a major center for Francophone recruitment and provides a direct link between Québec and potential immigrants in Europe who are interested in Québec programs. The other options don’t fit this arrangement: Ottawa is the federal capital and handles federal immigration matters, while Beirut and Damascus are not the standard overseas hubs associated with Québec’s immigration outreach under the Accord.
