The inauguration of the centre is one of many events taking place as part of National Francophone Immigration Week.
The opening of the new centre comes in addition to the measures already adopted to increase the number of Francophone immigrants who come to settle in Canada, particularly in Francophone minority communities. The centre will be national in scope and will help to
- make immigration programs more accessible in order to increase the number of French-speaking candidates selected
- conduct case studies to better meet the bilingual workforce needs of Francophone employers and communities
- support international promotion efforts to attract and recruit French-speaking candidates in our labour market
