French-speaking Candidates in the 2025 Immigration Levels Plan
In the 2025-2027 Immigration Levels Plan, the Canadian government has set clear targets to enhance its immigration framework, particularly focusing on strengthening Francophone communities nationwide. As part of this initiative, the plan outlines specific allocations for French-speaking candidates. According to the latest announcements, the immigration targets for French-speaking candidates are as follows:
2025: 8.5% of overall permanent resident admissions
2026: 9.5% of overall permanent resident admissions
2027: 10% of overall permanent resident admissions
These percentages indicate a gradual increase in the number of French-speaking immigrants that Canada aims to welcome each year, emphasizing the government’s focus on enhancing the presence and integration of Francophones outside Quebec.
