language used by generations of immigrants from
France long ago, even if a French person were to
travel to Quebec, they may not understand the words

According to Wikipedia, Quebec French is not a
divergent language from ancient French, it comes
directly from the modern French and northern French
dialects of the 17th and 18th centuries. Also, as
mentioned above, the word “Quebec French” was
coined by French people from France who visited
Canada and witnessed the fusion at this time. There
are some cases where the words used are completely
different. Even though the spelling is the same, the
pronunciation can be very different. There is a theory
that Quebec citizens read the sounds more like
speakers of English, perhaps because Canada is
under British rule and English is their main language.
