Canada–Are most people bilingual in French and English?

Bob B asked:


So English and French are both official in Canada but I have some questions………
I’ve heard that it is mandatory in English speaking provinces to learn French from grade 1—Is that true? And are most bilingual by the time they finish school?

Also in Quebec the main language is French, but do they learn English from grade 1? Are they bilingual?

My last question—Is Quebec the only French speaking Province in Canada?
@ Shut yo mouf
Isn’t Montreal a city in Quebec??
