Yeah, but Alaska and Hawaii haven't changed status in that regard. They knew they weren't connected when they signed onto the deal. Also, going across a border to effectively travel between 2 places in your own country makes things problematic. You now need a passport just to drive from one end of the country to the other. What about shared resources like power plants and bridges that exist between the two countries. New agreements will have to be written up for how they are maintained and how they are policed. There's thousands of people who commute between Ottawa and Gatineau that would have to move to one country or the other. All the government offices in Quebec including the main tax center in Shawinigan as well as countless other buildings would have to be moved. It would not only be a major burden on Quebec, but on the rest of Canada as well.
