Canada at the time of the development of New France was actually the St. Lawrence Valley. That's why when you look up this question you get conflicting answers. According to Alan Taylor (pg 99-100) in The American Colonies:
1. It was a safe distance from Spain.
2. It was colder there and therefore the furs were thicker and more valuable.
3. The Natives there were skilled hunters( the Montagnais and Algonkin), more so than those in more southern regions of North America
4. The St. Lawrence river offered the farthest water route west than any other river in North America.
5. The river's mouth was in Quebec in a large harbor that offered enough space for trading ships.
