I don't think anyone ever migrated from Louisiana to Canada. Historically it was the other way around.

A few other points:

Even outside Montreal in smaller cities and towns there is a difference in the way people dress, and if you go to a restaurant for Sunday brunch or Saturday night dinner you will find a higher percentage of people dressed smartly (not always suits, but at least dress pants and shoes on men for example) than elsewhere on the continent.

When it comes to Montreal, I find a lot of the anglo women there are affected by the francophone environment by osmosis and there is not a huge difference in the way they dress. Women who are seen in Montreal who dress like the bad stereotypes some have of North American women would usually be labelled as tourists by the locals (rightly or wrongly).

Similarly, with few exceptions most francophones outside Quebec don't generally dress like people in Montreal or in Quebec and it's hard to pick out Franco-Ontarians in Sudbury or Timmins from local anglos.

The one true exception in Canada is Ottawa-Gatineau where you have large areas of relatively typical Québécois and relatively typical Ontarioan environments in the same metro. So I can sit in the Rideau Centre in downtown Ottawa and easily spot francophones and anglophones by the way they dress. Not everyone of course - a majority of people are dressed neutrally, but good chunks do wear stuff only anglophones or only francophones would wear.
I find that´s interesting. Could you post eg here some photos -on how eg a typical/stereotypical French Canadian woman looks and how does an Anglo Canadian look?

Do you mean by physical features or by the way they dress?

If we are talking about clothes, here is an example.

Canada's Minister of Foreign Affairs Maxime Bernier arriving at Rideau Hall (home of Canada's Governor General - basically our head of state) for an official ceremony with his girlfriend of the time, Julie Couillard.

Pretty typical fashion choice of French Canadian women. English Canadian women? Not so much.
