What does the Canada-Québec Accord allow Québec to require immigrants to do?

• A. Send children to English-language schools
• B. Send children to French-language schools
• C. Live in Québec for 5 years
• D. Pay higher fees

Answer: (B)

Language and schooling rights in Quebec through the Canada-Québec Accord. This agreement gives Quebec authority over immigration-related matters and, importantly, the conditions for newcomers, including how their children are educated, to support the protection and prominence of French in the province. That means Quebec can require the children of immigrants to attend French-language schools, aligning with its francophone education policy. The other ideas—sending children to English-language schools, living in Quebec for a fixed period, or paying higher fees—aren’t part of what the accord authorizes.
