(11,541 posts)50. True that Quebec has its own Ministry of Immigration.
All other nine provinces don't, as they all go by the rules of the Federal government's own Immigration Ministry.
Quebec does have special needs as it wants to 'protect' its own French culture from slowly diminishing to disappear in an ocean of ever growing English culture all over North America. To do so, it requires a minimum knowledge of French language understanding, both written and spoken. That said, there are many English-only small businesses that can operate in Quebec (mostly in and around Montreal), as long as they advertize (if need be) bigger letters in French than in English. That's not, or should not, be too much of a big deal if they really want to succeed for a significant period, IMHO.
