I'm from Quebec (and my first language is French) and I think I have a weak French accent. The rest of my family however has a much stronger French accent when speaking English.
I don't know much about the accents from different provinces but I know there are different accents within Quebec. Especially in Eastern Quebec... whenever I hear someone from Gaspesie speaking, I can barely understand what they say
And people in Quebec, when speaking French, have a VERY different accent than people from France. I know one time when my mom went to France, she was speaking to someone in French and the other person looked at her completely puzzled and then said "Sorry, I don't speak English"
Quebec French has more of an English sound to it, but I think people in France use more English words (but pronounce them in a French way).
