What Is the Francophone Mobility Program?
The Francophone Mobility Program is a Canadian immigration initiative designed to help French-speaking foreign nationals obtain work permits to live and work in provinces and territories outside Quebec. The program operates under the International Mobility Program (IMP) and does not require a Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA).
At MapleCrest Law Canada, our team of experienced immigration lawyers offers full legal support for both applicants and Canadian employers navigating this process.
