The province of Quebec and its cities/CMAs are excluded from this indicator because of the uniqueness of this region within the Canadian context. The historical and political conditions of Quebec has resulted in a lower sense of belonging to Canada amongst its Canadian-born French population. In light of this exceptional situation that knows no equivalent elsewhere in the country, the gap between Quebec’s immigrants and the Canadian-born population around sense of belonging to Canada thereby raises conceptual and empirical issues.
