Thank you for your question.
Some measures have produced positive results, although overall improvements of the francophone immigration system may vary.
According to data for 2019, 1.8% of all newcomers settled in Quebec. We subsequently made changes and awarded additional points in the express entry system, and the number of francophone immigrants reached 3.6% in 2020.
I'm trying to improve the express entry system's flexibility so we can select more francophone applicants who want to come to Canada and support the people working in the institutions.
In English, just to make sure that I'm clear—you can tell I've been working a bit at it—there are a number of policies we have advanced that have shown a positive difference. If we go further down those paths that we've seen to be successful and also introduce new flexibility with express entry, new measures for international students and a number of other measures, I'm confident, as we develop this full strategy, that we will see positive improvement.
