Canada wants to Increase Francophone Immigration Outside of Quebec

On March 2, 2018, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), along with other provincial and territorial Ministers, have announced a new Federal-Provincial-Territorial (FPT) Action Plan for Increasing Francophone Immigration Outside of Quebec. The goal of this Action Plan is to have an increased number of Francophones residing in Canada, outside of Quebec, along with an increase in participation of French-speaking immigrants in local labour markets, broader communities and social networks. This Action Plan supports diversity, availability, awareness and accessibility of Francophone communities as well as the French language itself. It also is meant to benefit the labour market, where employers now can engage in increased French-speaking immigrant recruitment and employment.
