The Francophone mobility program allows French-speaking people to work at Canadian companies outside Quebec.

Normally Canadian companies need to prove to the Canadian government that they cannot find a local employee before they hire a foreign worker. This process is called LMIA or labor market impact assessment. The LMIA process usually takes longer and the Canadian government does not always approve it. 

Note: If you apply for a work permit under the Francophone mobility program your employer does not have to make any efforts to recruit Canadian citizens or permanent residents. You are more or less treated as if you are inside Canada. 
 

Requirements

• Getting a job offer from a Canadian employer outside the province of Quebec. 

• Citizens of any country can apply and there is no age requirement.

The job offer must be made in a skilled position. It must be in

• Management jobs in Skill level 0 (zero)

• Professional jobs that usually require a university degree in Skill Level A

• Technical jobs and skilled trades that usually need a college diploma or training as an apprentice in Skill Level B

The use of the French language does not have to be a requirement of the job. However, you must speak French based on the requirements of this program. 

If you are not from francophone countries or French is not the daily habitual language you may be required to take an official test to prove your French skills. 

If your job offer is valid for 6 months or more your spouse and children can also come to Canada. In this case, your spouse can get an open work permit and can work for any employer in Canada. And if you have school-aged children they can study in Canadian schools.
