French Canadians
Habitants of Quebec
French Canadians are Canadians of French ancestry, particularly those descended from settlers of New France in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The term most often refers to francophone Quebecers, though French Canadian communities exist across Canada, especially in New Brunswick, Ontario, and Manitoba.
