The Francophone Mobility program allows Canadian employers located outside of Quebec to recruit French-speaking foreign workers for “qualified” jobs (under the NOC TEER system). Under this program, you are exempt from needing an LMIA.
Being French-speaking is seen as an important cultural advantage in Canada. You do not need to be a French citizen, only a French-speaking person. The position you are offered may be French-speaking, English-speaking or bilingual; it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you can prove you have an eligible job offer from a Canadian company outside the province of Quebec, and that you speak French.
A work permit under the Francophone Mobility program can be renewed several times (up to a total of four years maximum).
Note: For anyone applying after June 15, 2023, all job categories currently allow you to be eligible for Francophone Mobility, even non-qualified TEER 4 and 5 categories (with the exception of primary agriculture).
