Quebec has announced its Immigration Plan for 2024 and 2025, focusing on increasing French-speaking immigrants and boosting French language proficiency among newcomers through "Francisation Quebec."
The province aims to admit over 60,000 immigrants yearly, with 50,000 through regular admission including skilled workers, family reunification, and refugees, plus graduates from French-language programs and business immigrants.
Economic immigration remains a priority, with skilled workers as the main group. The government will require French knowledge for economic programs and certain temporary foreign workers, with some exceptions.
The two-year plan aims to address labor market needs, support economic growth, and ensure the integration of immigrants in French, with periodic assessments for effectiveness.
