Migrations interprovinciales au Canada : qu'en est-il des 'deux solitudes' de langues officielles canadiennes?

The author notes that since 1976-1981, a period marked by a significant migratory deficit in Quebec, there has been a great deal of interest in interprovincial migration in Canada, especially with regard to English-speaking Quebecers. Although the return of the Parti Québécois to power in 1994 and the holding of a second referendum in 1995 did not lead to departures of the same amplitude, the question of interprovincial migration continued to be raised. The author gives a general overview of interprovincial migration in Canada over a 45-year period (1971-2016). He shows that, during this period, eight Canadian provinces experienced a negative net migration for at least three years out of five. Forming clusters of provinces with similar behaviours, he situates Quebec in the Canadian whole. Finally, to make an overall assessment of official language minorities — Anglophones in Quebec, Francophones elsewhere — the author looks at migration between Quebec and the rest of Canada according to the language of the migrants. This analysis allows the author to update the parameters used to describe the “territorial duality of linguistic groups” in Canada.
