The 4.09% was for francophone immigration as a whole. Through the Ontario immigrant nominee program, the Government of Ontario was able to select its candidates and meet its objectives. The 5% objective was even surpassed: they achieved 5.4% in 2018 and 7.3% in the following year. The Government of Ontario was able to select 8,350 people who wanted to settle in Ontario in 2021.
We are asking, as the Government of Ontario is also asking, for the government to be able to select 13,000 newcomers itself. The program gives every indication that it will achieve, and even surpass, the objective of 5%.
Given that the Government of Ontario has demonstrated that, through this program at least, it is able to meet its target for francophone immigration, the Government of Canada could it give it more power to select more immigrants.
