the number for foreigners for the skilled worker program Quebec has their own so you to do it through them and not through the federal government. So is there something like that for actual Canadian citizens to? I imagine they don't want a bunch of English-speaking people influx into their territory shifting the demographics
Is it true you can't just move to Quebec?

Your question isn't clear.
Once someone is a permanent resident, they can live wherever they want to in Canada, including Quebec. Canadian citizens can obviously also live wherever they want to.
Lots of English speaking people live and work in Quebec.
1. Quebec determine and choose Economic Immigrant on its own. They set their own target and method, hence why people need CSQ to immigrate to Canada when they are in Quebec. This is also why you cannot apply for federal immigration programs (EE for example) when you are in Quebec.
2. Any temporary worker and foreign student admitted to Quebec, needs the Quebec government's consent. This is why you need CAQ before applying Student Permit or Work permit, though usually, it's not a problem, just extra paperwork.
3. As for permanent residents and citizens, they can live wherever they want in Canada, including Quebec. Quebec government cannot control that per se. However, there are numerous policies in order to entrench French to Quebec society.
Wrong statement ¨they don't want a bunch of English-speaking¨ They want people who speak French and of course other language like English, etc.
Most of Quebecer speak more than 2 languages
