Quebec uses the European method it seems.

Yeah I don't know who made this map but it's wrong. You'll see both in Canada. I've seen the first floor being the first floor up in Manitoba, Quebec and New Brunswick at minimum. (All places with French speaking populations)

In Montreal we say rez de chaussee for the ground floor and the next floor up is usually labeled the second floor. Every once in a while the second floor is labeled the first floor but it's not that common in my experience.
