The Canadian Provinces and Territories in French

Canada is a country situated in North America where both English and French are official languages. Of the ten provinces and three territories Québec is the only one where French is the only official language, although both French and English are official languages in New Brunswick. None of the other provinces have French as an official language, however there are minority communities scattered throughout the country where French is spoken. All three territories also recognize French as an official language.
