Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab is scheduled to announce new projects aimed at strengthening Francophone immigration in Newfoundland and Labrador and other French-speaking minority communities outside Quebec.
The announcement is being made in St. John’s on September 29. IRCC’s advance notice did not include details about eligibility, funding or whether the projects will create new immigration pathways.
Why it matters: The initiatives could expand regional recruitment and settlement opportunities for French-speaking immigrants, but prospective applicants should wait for the official criteria before making decisions.
