Quebec denies French student's immigration over English thesis chapter [View all]
Canada's Quebec province has denied immigrant status to a French citizen because she was unable to demonstrate adequate French-language proficiency.
Quebec rejected Emilie Dubois' application apparently because part of her university thesis was in English.
Ms Dubois came to Quebec from France in 2012 and completed a doctorate at a French-language university.
...
Quebec's immigration minister said in a statement on Thursday evening that the decision "doesn't seem to make much sense". He has asked officials to look into her case.

I seem to remember that the French think the Quebecois accent sucks. She probably speaks it better than the drone who rejected her. Her one chapter in English was about English language journals.
