In the directory /etc/sysconfig there is a file "keyboard." 
I would edit it  and ask for keyboard "fr" on each line. I 
do not know if Canadian French is different enough to have 
a different keyboard from the European variety.

On the xfce screen proper, there is an icon (looks like a 
toolbox) for settings, and in it is a setting for keyboard.
