Encouraging Immigration to Francophone Minority Communities

Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) wants to help Canada’s Francophone minority communities benefit from immigration as much as Canada’s English-speaking communities do. By working closely with other government departments and agencies, provinces, territories, municipalities and the communities themselves, we have made a lot of progress toward that goal. Towards Building a Canadian Francophonie of Tomorrow outlines projects we have undertaken with our partners to encourage immigration to Francophone minority communities outside Quebec. A five-year action plan is being developed to carry on with this work.
