Destination Canada Mobility Forum: Hire Francophone and bilingual talent

Canadian employers with positions to fill in provinces and territories other than Quebec can participate as exhibitors at Destination Canada Mobility Forum. They must commit to being present at the forum in Paris and/or Douala, and/or participate actively in the online days.

Employers who can’t participate directly can share their job offers with exhibitors from

• their province or territory
• their city or region
• an economic development agency
• the Réseau de développement économique et d’employabilité (available in French only)

These exhibitors will be able to refer candidates who meet the requirements for your positions.

Dates and locations of the Forum

The 20th edition of the forum will take place:

• in Paris, France, on February 14 and 15, 2025
• in Douala, Cameroon, on February 18, 19 and 20, 2025
• online, on March 3, 4 and 5, 2025

Candidates and exhibitors will have access to the online platform until June 30, 2025.

What we provide

For the forum in Paris and Douala, we provide a booth free of charge.

For the online edition, we offer access to a digital platform with a space for virtual booths and technical support before and during the forum.

Candidates will apply to job offers using the contact information indicated on the offers or directly in person in Paris and in Douala.

We will ask you to provide feedback on the candidates and inform us of any hires made as part of the Destination Canada Mobility Forum.

Helping you find the right candidates

Destination Canada Mobility Forum gives you access to a pool of qualified candidates from around the world.

Among the candidates who will be invited to participate, some will have a work permit or permanent residence, but the majority will not. They will be eligible for a facilitated work permit under the francophone stream which allows you to hire Francophone or bilingual foreign nationals for positions outside Quebec without having to get a Labour Market Impact Assessment.
