My niece is in french immersion but its just because it is the closest school to her house. When she tries to show off a bit and says something in french all the other young kids look at her like she has 2 heads.
Born, raised and living in Alberta, I cant see any reason why a kid would need to be fluent in french. Seems like a waste of time, money and resources. I haven't spoken or heard a word of french since I got out of junior high school and I suspect 99% of people are the same. Might be better for a kid to learn mandarin living outside of Quebec.
