Canadian region’s mosque becomes partly apparent (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

quebec

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'canadian region's' is the definition.
'Quebec' can be an answer for 'region's' (Quebec is an example). I am unsure of the 'canadian' bit.

'mosque becomes partly apparent' is the wordplay.
'QUEBEC' is hidden within the letters.
However, I am uncertain how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for quebec that I've seen before include ".French-speaking province of E Canada" , "French-speaking province of eastern Canada" , "Francophone Canadian province" , "Canadian province/city" , "French-speaking Canadian provincial capital" .)
