Most French colonist were hunters and traders and never established permanent homes, they lacked self government and religious freedom (only Catholics were allowed)... Meaning many French (Huguenots, French Protestants) even went to other English colonies seeking refuge.. And since most of the people who went to America were seeking freedom and a different pace of life New France failed...

∙ 12y agoNorth America was a cold, un-inhabited place without any of the things people were used to. Imagine all the things we have today, all the technology, the choice in what kind of food you want, having real roofs, and somewhere warm to stay, communication with people all over the world. Now imagine being asked to throw it all away and move to a cold place, with only basic shelters, the only food is things you find or kill, and the only way to communicate with your family back home is by letter, which will take months to get there, if it gets there at all.
Would you want to go?
Probably not.
Mostly people who were offered things went. Criminals went because they were given a fresh start, poor girls without dowries went because they were offered rather large dowries, people who owed the government money went to pay it off, and of course the soldiers and people in charge who were sent to New France.

I did a huge project on New France and the aspects of life their, as well as a role play in school that involved researching enough to go in role as a settler in New France. I was a shop keeper!
