MONTREAL — Quebec's school year started on a familiar note: thousands of teaching spots were unfilled, and the provincial government had to defend itself for its failure to solve the problem.

Immigration, Querrien added, doesn't explain why some outlying regions, which receive fewer immigrants than do big cities, are also short on teachers — and have been for years. A teacher shortage is also being felt in the province's English schools, despite the fact Quebec's strict language laws force the vast majority of immigrants to enrol their children in the French system.
