Many existing threads on similar issues in MSFS2020. I keep meaning to check if it’s been addressed in MSFS2024 in the Saguenay/Gaspe region.

Post #15 in this thread is in a similar region:

Nothing came up when I searched for Quebec, so thanks for linking the post. Much of the St. Lawrence River area has the same or similar issues. I imagine the terrain in that area must be hard to map but in the thread you linked people are complaining about terrain problems all over the place, so it seems like it doesn’t just have to do with tricky landscapes like tundra and fjords.

Frustrating that it still hasn’t been fixed. I enjoy driving around the area but it’s so disappointing in MSFS2020. I will check it out in MSFS2024 soon.

I opened a support ticket, Zendesk # 244894, but the problem was already reported 4 years ago… c’est dommage. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to hope that MSFS 2020 will eventually get finished.

Do drop a line in this thread if it’s been fixed in MSFS 2024.
