You claim that Quebec is sole-sourcing immigrants from francophone countries, but the top 15 countries of immigrants in the past few years are:
China France Syria Iran Algeria Haiti Morocco India Philippines Cameroon Côte-d'Ivoire Colombia Tunisia Lebanon Egypt
Some of those are francophone countries, some are not. None of them provides over 10% of our immigrants.
As I mentioned already, 25% of Canada's immigrants are coming from India, with around 10% each from China and the Philippines. Most of these are going to Toronto and Vancouver. (And some to Winnipeg in the case of Filipinos. That's just under half of all immigrants coming from just three countries.
It's therefore hard to believe that Montreal's cross-section of immigrants is any less variably sourced or diverse than that of other Canadian cities.
You've certainly undergone an interesting personal transition, from the New Brunswick guy who lived in Ottawa to GTA newbie who defends Toronto's honour like Superman and Batman defend Metropolis and Gotham City.

Isn’t there a rule for immigrants though, that you have to live in an assigned city for at least a year? So I imagine a Chinese immigrant living in Montreal is likely to move to Toronto or Vancouver after their required time in Montreal is done.
I have seen very very few Asians of any sort and in Montreal
