Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has updated the Francophone Minority Communities Student Pilot (FMCSP), a strategic initiative aimed at attracting French-speaking international students to study at designated learning institutions outside Quebec. According to the new update, this temporary-to-permanent residence pathway targets citizens from 33 eligible countries across Africa, the Middle East, and the Americas. Applicants must pursue full-time, French-language post-secondary programs lasting at least two years, demonstrate a NCLC level 5 proficiency in French, and show sufficient financial resources. This initiative underscores Canada’s commitment to strengthening official language minority communities.
