Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab announced a significant investment targeting four specialized initiatives under the Francophone Immigration Support Program. The funding addresses critical workforce shortages in healthcare, education, and early childhood sectors while advancing Canada's goal of reaching a 10.5% admission rate for French-speaking permanent residents outside Quebec by 2028. This strategic approach aligns with Budget 2025 priorities to revitalize Francophone and Acadian minority communities through coordinated recruitment efforts. A recent policy review confirms the government remains on track with its comprehensive implementation plan, demonstrating measurable progress across promotion, research, and integration objectives.
