For instance, take Québec. It is both a province and a city. Using google maps API with the query string of ‘Québec’ yields the province as the result. What should I query for if I want just the city?
Thanks.

You need to be as specific as possible. Generally the geocoder will find a country name before a province, a province before a city, and so on.
For Quebec, use either
Quebec City(which isn’t the province) orQuebec, Quebec(specifying the city within the province). The tiles show “Quebec City” for the name of the city, too.
