The Centre for Innovation in Francophone Immigration (CIFI) aims to integrate Francophone perspectives into immigration programs in Canada. It promotes immigration to French-speaking employers, facilitates access to programs and supports the growth of Francophone minority communities (FMCs). The CIFI supports innovative projects to reduce obstacles to immigration and offers funding to improve the promotion of FMCs internationally, the recruitment and the selection of French-speaking candidates and their support towards permanent residence. In addition, the CIFI supports projects that facilitate the collection of evidence and the implementation of research that highlights lessons learned and promising practices that can contribute to concrete solutions for an improved immigration pathway.
The Francophone Immigration Support Program (FISP), managed by the CIFI, provides grants and contributions to support innovative projects that aim to increase the admissions of French-speaking candidates and promote demographic growth and the economic growth of FMCs.
Here is one new project that support the promotion of Francophone minority communities, the recruitment and selection of French-speaking candidates, and the support of candidates on their journey towards permanent residence.
