I mean you can Google the word “foreign” and the first thing that shows up is:
of, from, in, or characteristic of a country or language other than one’s own.
of or belonging to another district or area.
And Wiktionary gives:
Located outside a country or place, especially one’s own.
Originating from, characteristic of, belonging to, or being a citizen of a country or place other than the one under discussion.
Most Québécois are primarily francophones, while the rest of Canada are anglophones, it checks that box. And obviously Québec is a different district/area than not Québec. And someome from outside of Québec is of course from a different place, both being a different province and a completely different sometimes almost unrecognizable culture.
Idk man seems pretty reasonable to call them “foreign” seeing as how they’re from a different province. Plus “foreign” is a good catch-all word for anyone who isn’t from the jurisdiction.
Also yes if you go into another state you are foreign to that state. Not foreign country-wise, but foreign state-wise.

Heck, 100 years ago someone from four villages over was considered a foreigner…
