Francophone Community Immigration Pilot

Overview

Francophone Community Immigration Pilot

The Francophone Community Immigration Pilot offers permanent residence (PR) to skilled workers who want to work and settle in rural remote Francophone-minority communities.

We chose 6 communities who showed they can support and benefit from skilled migrants. They will approve certain employers to hire for jobs that they can't fill with local workers.
