Nova Scotia releases new francophone immigration action plan
Nova Scotia’s plan aims to increase the number of French-speaking immigrants to support the existing francophone communities.
Nova Scotia launched its new francophone immigration action plan last week. Growing Nova Scotia's Francophone Population - An Action Plan for Success (2022-25) is a report that outlines the province's strategy for increasing the number of French speakers.
It was developed in collaboration with the Nova Scotia ministries of Labour, Skills, and Immigration (LSI) and Acadian Affairs and Francophonie, as well as the Fédération Acadienne de la Nouvelle-Écosse, the Conseil de Développement économique de la Nouvelle-Écosse, Université Sainte-Anne, the Provincial Council for Academic Excellence, and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency.
Its goal is to attract francophone newcomers from other countries and provinces, and it includes initiatives such as:
- increased community and partner engagement
- promotion and attraction
- population growth programs
- retention and inclusion through settlement services
- research and evaluating programs.
Opening up a world of opportunity.
