COW – Value of Francophone Immigration – May 28, 2026
- Francophone immigrants bring diverse skills and global trade connections, adding to Canada's economic success and a competitive, multilingual workforce.
- French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec are mostly economic immigrants selected through the Express Entry system. They are chosen based on experience in highly skilled occupations in addition to speaking French.
- Express Entry, the Provincial Nominee Program, and the Francophone Community Immigration Pilot are designed to meet the labour market needs of Canadian communities.
- We actively choose economic immigrants, including French-speaking and bilingual talent from around the world, who have the skills and experience our economy needs.
