Quebec hadagents-general in London, Paris, and Brussels prior to 1936, when legislation was passed by the government ofMaurice Duplessis closing all Quebec government offices abroad. The government ofAdélard Godbout repealed the legislation and opened an office inNew York City in 1940. When Duplessis returned to power in 1944, his government retained the New York City office and its agent-general but opened no others.^{[citation needed]}

In the early 1960s, the government ofJean Lesage began to open additional offices abroad inParis (1961),London (1962),Rome andMilan (1965). Subsequent governments opened offices inChicago (1969),Boston,Lafayette,Dallas andLos Angeles (1970),Munich andBerlin (1971),Brussels (1972),Atlanta (1977),Washington, DC (1978),Mexico City andTokyo (1980),Beijing andSantiago (1998),Shanghai andBarcelona (1999),Mumbai (2007),São Paulo (2008) andMoscow (2012).^[1] AUQAM scholar in 1984 described the offices as "mini-embassies" for Quebec and part of theQuiet Revolution.^[2]

In 1971, the title of agent-general was officially changed to delegate-general, although the previous title is still often used, particularly for the government's representative to London.^{[citation needed]}
