Great news!!! On June 15, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship of Canada (IRCC) Minister, Sean Fraser announced the expansion of the Francophone Mobility Program which will be effective for a two-year period. The Francophone Mobility program allows Canadian employers to offer jobs to skilled workers with native French language skills.

Benefits of this program
The Francophone Mobility Program provides applicants with an opportunity to gain work experience in Canada, which will potentially lead to eligibility for permanent residence.
According to The Honorable Sean Fraser, Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, “Our government is committed to increasing the presence of French speaking immigrants from coast to coast. The changes to the Francophone Mobility Program open the possibility for this and provide support for the development of the Francophone minority communities that welcome them. By attracting more French speaking individuals we embrace a wealth of linguistic talents and cultural perspectives, and a shared heritage that enriches the cultural tapestry of our great nation.”
How long is the processing time?
The processing times are based on the applicant’s country of citizenship. If the applicant is from a visa exempt country like Belgium or France, the work permit could be prepared within 3 business days.
