IRCC Annual Report to Parliament Segment on Francophone Immigration Illustrates Policy Success

Our bilingual country is made more vibrant with the inclusion of international French-speaking Immigrants.

To this end, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) supports immigration policy geared towards programs to attract, welcome, integrate, and retain larger numbers of French-speaking immigrants to Canada, to bolster the vitality of the 6.7 million French Canadians already home in Canada's Francophone communities across the country. In support of French speakers and the Canadian bilingual spirit, the Canadian Government has a special goal of encouraging settlement in areas outside of traditionally French-speaking Quebec. The policy's goal is for Canada to reach a French Language population level of 4.4% of the total Canadian population.

In its 2022 annual report to parliament on immigration, IRCC reviewed its progress on the 2018 to 2023 Action Plan for Official Languages and policy on French Language Immigration. French-speaking communities, Canadian community leaders, and experts in immigration worked together with the IRCC towards the development of these informed strategies in place until 2023. Implementation of these strategies encourages diversity, inclusion, and evidence-based policy in Canada.
