What Is the Francophone Mobility Program?

The Francophone Mobility Program is an LMIA-exempt work permit pathway that allows French-speaking foreign nationals to work in Canada outside the province of Quebec. The program supports the growth of Francophone communities across Canada by attracting skilled French-speaking workers.

Work permits issued under this program are typically employer-specific and are part of the International Mobility Program (IMP).

Who Can Apply?

  • French-Speaking Foreign Nationals
Suitable for individuals who can demonstrate proficiency in the French language.
  • Have a Valid Job Offer Outside Quebec
Applicants must have a genuine job offer from a Canadian employer located outside Quebec.
  • Employed in Eligible Occupations
Available for most occupations except certain roles restricted by the program.
  • Supported by an Eligible Canadian Employer
The employer must meet Francophone Mobility Program requirements.
  • Meet Admissibility Requirements
Applicants must meet Canada’s health, security, and admissibility standards.
Each application is assessed individually based on language ability, job offer, and eligibility.
