Canada plans to increase immigration targets for francophones settling outside of Quebec. Last year, francophone immigration to Canada outside Quebec more than doubled, reaching 16,380 new permanent residents.

Canada is on track to exceed that number this year, with 10,190 new francophone permanent residents welcomed in the first seven months.

The immigration minister's proposal to raise the target for francophone immigration comes after Ottawa opened the doors of the francophone stream of the International Mobility Program to all French-speaking foreign nationals.
