The Canadian French layout uses both dead keys (accent keys you press before a letter to type an accented letter, red in the diagram) and AltGr combinations (where you press the key with the AltGr key held down to produce the indicated symbol, blue in the diagram).

Creating a custom layout with Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator was exactly what I did and I even managed to make a multilingual layout that not only allows you to type the French œ & Œ, but nº & Nº, the middle dot for l’écriture inclusive, and non-breaking spaces which are all essential to proper French typography.
The Canadian French Legacy is a third french-canadian keyboard layout, it's the old Canadian Multilingual Standard used between 1988 and 1992.

LArlesienne. •. The QWERTY keyboard layout, the most popular English layout today, was designed with typewriters in mind.
