The Canadian government announced a new Francophone Minority Communities Student Pilot (FMCSP) program will launch on Aug. 26.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The pilot program is an important component of the Policy on Francophone Immigration announced earlier this year. Officials stated that students and their families will be exempted from having to demonstrate that they will leave Canada at the end of their temporary stay as part of the pilot program approval procedures. The government will also adjust the required financial threshold to reflect 75% of the low-income cutoff associated with the municipality where the institution’s main campus is located.
BAL Analysis: The Canadian government is taking measures to ensure graduates will be able to contribute to the labor market and welcome French-speaking nationals who will enrich Francophone minority communities.
