Canada has once again demonstrated its commitment to strengthening Francophone communities outside Quebec by exceeding its 2025 immigration target.

Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab announced that the country welcomed French-speaking permanent residents at a rate of 8.9%, surpassing the 8.5% goal and marking the fourth straight year of achieving the target.

This success stems from coordinated efforts among federal, provincial, and territorial governments and community partners.

Over 29,500 Francophone newcomers now contribute to Canada's economic growth and cultural diversity. Looking ahead, Ottawa plans to reserve 5,000 additional federal spaces for provinces to nominate French-speaking immigrants, supporting the ambitious 12% target by 2029.
