Immigration Minister Marc Miller launched the 12th National Francophone Immigration Week. The event celebrates the contributions of Francophone newcomers to Canada’s culture and economy. In 2023, Canada exceeded its targets with 19,700 French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec. The government aims to increase this to 6% in 2024. Recent initiatives, including the Policy on Francophone Immigration and the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, demonstrate Canada’s commitment to fostering Francophone minority communities. Targets are set to reach 10% of permanent French-speaking residents outside Quebec by 2027, supporting preserving Francophone heritage and cultural integration.
