Francophone Mobility Program – Work in Canada as a French-Speaking Professional
Helping Francophone Talent Work and Settle in Canada
Canada welcomes French-speaking professionals from around the world—especially those seeking to work outside Quebec. The Francophone Mobility Program offers a simplified, Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA)-exempt pathway for eligible employers to hire French-speaking foreign workers.
At Leduc International, our experienced immigration lawyers guide employers and skilled workers through every step of this unique and strategic immigration program.
Who is Eligible?
To qualify under the Francophone Mobility Program, applicants must:
- Be French-speaking and able to communicate in French as a habitual language (spoken French must be demonstrated during an interview or through education/language results)
- Have a valid job offer from a Canadian employer located outside Quebec
- Be offered a position in any TEER level (0–5) of the National Occupation Classification (NOC 2021)
- Intend to use French in daily life while living and working in a Francophone minority community
Key Benefits of the Francophone Mobility Program
Employer Requirements
Canadian employers must:
- Offer a genuine, full-time job located outside Quebec
- Submit an Offer of Employment through the Employer Portal

- Demonstrate a commitment to supporting Francophone communities outside Quebec
Our firm works closely with employers to prepare compliant job offers and ensure proper registration through the Employer Portal.
Why Work with a Canadian Immigration Lawyer?
The Francophone Mobility Program offers major advantages—but navigating the legal process can still be complex. We provide:
- Language assessment and eligibility screening for applicants
- Employer guidance and portal registration
- Complete work permit application preparation and submission
- Support for spouses and dependents
- Strategic planning for permanent residence pathways
A Pathway to Permanent Residency
Many French-speaking workers use the Francophone Mobility Program as a stepping stone to permanent residence through:
- Express Entry (Federal Skilled Worker, CEC, etc.)
- Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) with Francophone streams
- The Rural and Northern Immigration Pilot (RNIP) or Atlantic Immigration Program (AIP)
We help you plan your long-term immigration strategy from the start.
