Text begins
This fact sheet gives an overview of the situation of English in Quebec in 2021. It begins by providing information on the changes in the number and proportion of the population who can have a conversation in English, whose first official language spoken is English, whose mother tongue is English, and who speak English at home or use English at work. Next, it presents information on English-language instruction in primary and secondary schools, on English spoken among recent and established immigrants, as well as on the mobility and place of birth of individuals whose first official language spoken is English. Additional data on these topics can be found in the appendix.
The information presented in this fact sheet comes from the Census of Population. To learn more about census concepts and the historical comparability of data, please refer to the 2021 Census of Population Languages Reference Guide and the Instruction in the Minority Official Language Reference Guide.

- In 2021, 4,344,550 Quebec residents could have a conversation in English, representing an all-time high.
- Of these, 445,575 people could converse in English, but not in French. After decreasing in the 1990s, this number has been rising since 2001, and in 2021, topped the 1991 figure (+71,820 people). In 2021, these people represented 5.3% of the Quebec population, down slightly from 1991 (5.5%), but higher than in 2016 (4.6%).
- Moreover, 3,898,980 people could have a conversation in English and French in 2021, a number that has been steadily increasing since 1991 (+1,485,995). They represented 46.4% of the population in 2021, the highest proportion observed in a census in Quebec.
- For the first time in the census, more than half of Quebec residents (51.7%) could have a conversation in English in 2021.
- The proportion of Quebec residents with a French mother tongue who could converse in English rose from 31.4% in 1991 to 42.2% in 2021. Meanwhile, this proportion remained fairly stable among those who learned a language other than French or English first at home in their childhood, from 67.5% in 1991 to 68.8% in 2021.
- In the 2021 Census, the proportion of the population whose mother tongue is not English but who could converse in this language varied by census metropolitan area (CMA). For example, it was higher in GatineauNote (68.2%) and Montréal (58.7%) than in Sherbrooke (44.6%), Québec (40.6%) or Saguenay (23.1%).
