To promote Francophone immigration to communities throughout Canada, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada ("IRCC') launched its Francophone Mobility Program ("FMP") in 2016.

This program provides options to make it easier for employers to hire French-speaking or bilingual workers outside Quebec. Hiring a French-speaking or bilingual candidate could provide a number of advantages, such as the ability to:

  • Serve clients in French and English
  • Tap into new markets or new international networks
  • Benefit from support from the Francophone community
  • Increase your Diversity, Equity and Inclusion profile
  • Access an exemption from applying for a Labour Market Impact Assessment ("LMIA")
