England gained the richer land, capable of supporting a far greater population. But colonisation policies also differed fundamentally.

France was far more selective about who could settle in "New France": the colonists should be good Catholics, strongly loyal to Crown, lord & church, and ready to transplant French institutions to the New World.

The British really didn't care that much who settled their new lands. In fact shipping a few thousand potential religious or political troublemakers to America was as good a means as any of getting them away from England. They had to be reasonably loyal in practice, but how they ran their lives in the colonies wasn't a major concern so long as they were advantageous to British trade and kept the French out.

So France narrowed its range of potential colonists, while the British permitted a free-for-all.

Why did the English colonies grow faster than the French colonies?

The English colonies grew faster than the French colonies primarily due to higher levels of immigration and settlement. The English pursued a policy of encouraging large-scale migration, attracting a diverse population seeking economic opportunities, land, and religious freedom. In contrast, the French focused on trade and alliances with Indigenous peoples, primarily in fur trading, which limited their settlement and population growth. Additionally, the English colonies established more self-sustaining agricultural economies, fostering further expansion and development.
