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.
