My parents would have learned Parisian French. I had the honour of getting non-qualified teachers from Quebec because there weren't enough Francophones to teach us (spoiler: finding French-first language teachers in a city that's 97% Anglophone and when there are already Francophone schools is going to be next to impossible). My homeroom teacher in Grade 8 was a former prison guard in Quebec who only got the teaching job in NB because his French was passable.
At best I learned Quebecois and at worst I learned Chiac in my French immersion in NB. Lots of Franglais.
