Francophone Mobility work permit

Francophone Mobility work permit

The Francophone mobility work permit makes it easier for Canadian employers to hire you without a labor market impact assessment, if you meet certain requirements and you are destined to live and work outside the province of Quebec.

To be eligible, you must

• meet the general eligibility requirements for a work permit
• live and work in 1 of the 9 Canadian provinces or 3 territories outside Quebec
• be able to prove that your speaking and listening skills in French are at an intermediate level
  • This would be equivalent to a level 5 or higher in the Niveaux de compétence linguistique canadiens (NCLC) scale.
• have an offer of employment for a job that’s classified under any Training, Education, Experience and Responsibilities (TEER) category of the National Occupational Classification (NOC) system unless the offer of employment is for a job in a primary agriculture occupation under TEER 4 and 5

If your spouse, common-law partner or dependent children want to work in Canada, they may be able to apply for an open work permit. Find out if they’re eligible for a work permit. Your dependent children can also go to school or university while you’re working in Canada.
