  1. 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, accounted for about 30% 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, the majority of French Canadians live across North America, including the United States and Canada. The province of Quebec has the largest population of French Canadian descent, although smaller communities of French Canadians exist throughout Canada and in the American region of New England, where between 1840 and 1930, roughly 900,000 French Canadians emigrated to the United States and New England, in particular. 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. French Canadians constitute the largest ethnic group in Canada, followed by English Canadians, Scottish Canadians and Irish Canadians.
