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.
