The Quebec government has announced significant changes to the financial assistance offered under the Programme quebecois d’apprentissage du français (PQAF), effective September 23, 2024. For individual learners, part-time French courses will no longer receive financial aid for participation, though childcare assistance remains. Full-time courses will continue to offer comprehensive financial support. In the business sector, companies with 100 or more employees in Quebec will lose eligibility for short-term wage compensation and skills training. These updates aim to refocus resources and optimize the program’s impact on French language acquisition in the province.
