It is bordered to the west by the province of Ontario and the bodies of water James Bay and Hudson Bay; to the north by Hudson Strait and Ungava Bay; to the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and to the south by the province of New Brunswick and the U.S. states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York . It also shares maritime borders with Nunavut, Prince Edward Island, and Nova Scotia . Quebec is Canada's largest province by area and its second - largest administrative division; only the territory of Nunavut is larger . It is historically and politically considered to be part of Central Canada (with Ontario). </P> <P> Quebec is the second-most populous province of Canada, after Ontario . It is the only one to have a predominantly French - speaking population, with French as the sole provincial official language . Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital . Approximately half of Quebec residents live in the Greater Montreal Area, including the Island of Montreal . English - speaking communities and English - language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions . The Nord - du - Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples . The climate around the major cities is four - season continental with cold and snowy winters combined with warm to hot humid summers, but farther north long winter seasons dominate and as a result the northern areas of the province are marked by tundra conditions . Even in central Quebec, at comparatively southerly latitudes, winters are severe in inland areas . </P>
