Thank you for the question.
Our government is a champion of official languages in Canada, and it knows that immigration is essential to the vitality of our minority francophone communities. That is why it announced a measure whereby additional points were given to francophone and bilingual candidates under the express entry program.
We will continue to find new ways to attract francophones, including through the implementation of a francophone integration pathway and initiatives such as the welcoming francophone communities initiative. Our government will always be a major defender of our francophone communities across Canada.
In addition, in 2020, the admissions of French-speaking immigrants accounted for 3.61% of all immigrant admissions outside Quebec. This is good progress in terms of that important priority.
