11% of francophones in Quebec considered leaving Quebec. 20% of all people in Quebec considered leaving Quebec.
Arguably, we could use that as the baseline for what people feel regarding moving in Canada.
However, you'd have to factor in that there aren't any other predominantly francophone provinces in Canada. Anglophone Canadians outside of Quebec may feel more open about moving to another province that is not Quebec because they know that it will be predominantly anglophone.
Regardless, there is no way that 50% of people in any other province (excluding perhaps economically depressed regions like the Maritimes) want to move. That would be nearly 5x the francophone Quebec desire for moving, and 2.5x the total Quebec desire for moving.
