Many older Quebecers still cling to the mentality of "pure laine" which effectively means unless you are white and Francophone then you are not a "real" Quebecer. The separatist movement of the 60s & 70s was very much built upon this belief. Thank god this offensive policy has basically vanished from political discourse in Quebec but there are many older hard core separatists who still cling to the mentality even if they are less vocal about it than they once were.

No, it is the accent that is decisive. You can't imitate the Quebec accent. it is very easy to know if someone was born here or not. Some people may have been born here but for some reasons they kept the accent of their parents (immigrants), those will have a harder time finding a job.
