Flor,
I hope this answers your question.
Braille materials produced for French-speaking people in Canada is generally
in contracted braille. The code is similar to the codes used in the other
French-speaking countries but they are not identical. An international
project has been underway for well over five years to unify the French
literary codes.
English-speaking students learning French would generally have their
material produced in uncontracted braille using the BANA guidelines i.e.
using the single cell accented letters, English punctuation and composition
signs.
