Ottawa online survey of Francophone temporary residents outside of Quebec

Ottawa online survey of Francophone temporary residents outside of Quebec

Uncategorized, Work in Canada /

Ottawa online survey of Francophone temporary residents outside of Quebec On February 20, 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) invited French-speaking or bilingual temporary residents outside of Quebec to participate in an online survey to research their application process.  The survey will allow the Government of Canada to collect feedback from newcomers on their experiences and challenges as French-speaking or bilingual temporary residents outside Quebec.  The survey is voluntary and confidential and will not affect any participants’ past, current or future applications. IRCC will use all collected data for research purposes only.   Details of Ottawa online survey of Francophone  The government understands that immigration is crucial to maintaining the vitality of minority Francophone communities around the country. French-speaking immigrants made up 3.61% of all immigrants admitted to Canada outside of Quebec in 2020, an increase from prior years, although they made up 2% of all immigrants from January to October of the following year. In order to meet the 4.4% target for the admission of immigrants who speak French by 2023, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has launched a number of initiatives, including giving candidates who speak French and are bilingual extra points under the Express Entry system. As part of the temporary residence to permanent residency pathway for vital workers and recent international graduates currently in Canada, the department launched temporary dedicated streams for French-speaking and bilingual candidates in 2021. Immigration is one of many important factors that can boost the viability of Francophone minority communities across the nation, and IRCC fully supports the government’s commitment to enhancing the Official Languages Act. Francophone Mobility  The Canadian government’s Francophone Mobility Program offers work visas to French-speaking foreign nationals who intend to reside and work in a Francophone community outside of Quebec. You must have a job offer with a National Occupation Code skill level of 0, A, or B in order to qualify (NOC).    Francophone Immigration Target by 2023  By 2023, the government hopes to reach its target of 4.4% for immigrants from outside Quebec who speak French. This target, which was established in 2003 with the help of local stakeholders, reflects the percentage of the Francophone population in Canada outside of Quebec as of the 2001 Census.   While the majority of applicants come from outside the country, the changing COVID-19 status has had an impact on both the number and percentage of French-speaking admissions. Prior to COVID-19, projections of the target population were made, but the impact’s full scope is yet unclear.   Want to know more details about the “Ottawa online survey of Francophone temporary residents outside of Quebec” you can contact one of our immigration specialists at  Gunness & Associates.   Tel: (416) 604-2669  Email: info@immigrationmatters.info   Gunness & Associates has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to Canada with their families.
