We do assessments in French in Canada. To get an equivalence, we provide a bridge between the tests taken outside Canada and the Canadian criteria.
To answer your first question about the target, we have found that a majority of francophones outside the country who want to immigrate to Canada choose Quebec because they believe it is the only province in Canada where they can live in French.
For some years, through pre-departure services and Destination Canada, which is in a way our standard-bearer, the department has tried to interest francophones from the four corners of the world to settle in Canada and to inform them that there are minority francophone communities everywhere in Canada and that it is very possible to live in French outside Quebec and to have your children taught in francophone schools.
For some years, the department has been making efforts to inform francophones who are considering the possibility of immigrating to Canada that they can also settle outside Quebec if they want to live in French in Canada.
