The Canadian government recognizes the importance of Francophone immigration in enhancing national identity, boosting the economy, and addressing labor shortages. To this end, initiatives are being implemented to attract French-speaking skilled workers from outside Quebec. Express Entry rounds have commenced, targeting candidates with specific work experience or proficiency in the French language for permanent residency. This approach aims to welcome professionals in demand across various communities, contributing to the nation’s economic and social growth. Ambitious targets have been set for Francophone immigrant admissions, with initiatives such as the Policy on Francophone Immigration and its Implementation Plan supporting the vitality and development of Francophone minority communities. A special emphasis is placed on candidates with strong French language skills in Express Entry, reflecting the government’s commitment to supporting these communities’ economic vitality.
