Do you mean the province Quebec or the city Quebec? :)

Depends where in Quebec. In some places no, like in Montreal. But in a lot of places, yes. Especially in the country.

@madily Thanks, but I have one more question. Is there any distinct difference between Canadian French and French?
- Paese o regione Canada
@vladgnes There are a lot of differences but they are mostly subtle. If you know France french it will be very easy to get by in Quebec. The grammar is all the same, we just use different expressions, some different words and word meanings, and we pronounce things a bit differently. I know a few people who moved to Quebec from France without issue. :)

@vladgnes the accents are very different! I can't understand french-canadian speakers too well🤔
I have a cousin (French) who met a French canadian on her travels and they had to speak English to each other because they couldn't understand eachothers accents😂😂
the grammar is the same overall though😁

If you want to know more the history behind it, here you go.
Before the French revolution they use to have 2 kind of way to speak in France, the "bel usage" that was use in more familiar setting and more natural. It was also use by the bourgeoisie mostly. And the "Grand usage" that more articulate and precise when it comes to the pronunciation. It was mostly use by the common people.
When the French colons came in Canada everyone was speaking the Bel usage and it was also the more spoken one in France. Though after the French revolution it changes for the Grand usage. Since we didn't have the French revolution we kept talking like the bourgeoisie in Canada.
That's why the accent is different. That's also why a few words that we use in Canada are sometimes consider outdated/old in France.

Not in Montreal, but in other parts of the province, I'd say yes.
