This article deals with migration in two Canadian regions that both have a large Francophone minority. Because they are located at some distance from the major centres of the country and dependant on natural resources, out-migration benefiting provincial centres in the south has existed for a long time. What is the magnitude of these migratory flows? Are there any general trends? How are young people affected by these migrations? Where do the migrants go? Answers to these questions will enable us to see how migration affects the economic and demolinguistic vitality of these two regions.
