Canada developing new immigration policy to attract French-speaking people — especially teachers
Policy is part of 5-year action plan for official languages
The Canadian Press ·
Minister
of Official Languages Ginette Petitpas Taylor says Ottawa recognizes
there is a labour shortage, especially when it comes to bilingual
workers. (Justin Tang/The Canadian Press)
The
Liberal government says it is developing a new policy on francophone
immigration as a way to grow the French language in Canada.
Official
Languages Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor says it's an advantage for
Canada to have a bilingual workforce and population.
The policy is part of a five-year action plan for official languages the government released today.
The
plan says Canada aims to recruit from Africa, Europe, the Middle East
and the Americas and attract bilingual workers to francophone minority
communities.
Petitpas Taylor says the government also wants to
recruit francophone teachers so that such communities have good access
to French-language education.
She says the government recognizes
that there's a labour force shortage when it comes to bilingual workers,
and the policy aims to ensure that immigration efforts remain
well-resourced into the future.
Canadian French is different than France so who is it they what to buy to come here ?
Really
This makes no sense

It's the same language just different accent.
Europeans will be glad to live in Canada, a G7 nation, where there are
more jobs and opportunities

So is British English, American English,
Caribbean English etc. to Canadian English. What is your point? Your
statement does not make sense.

Methinks they may be amused with my version of Chiac N'esy Pas?

Many second generation of immigrant children have a version of it in their respective language. That is how I grew up.

My ancestors came here in the 1700s I was born
and raised Ginette Petitpas Taylor's neighbourhood where lots of folks
speak Chiac. Furthermore I ran against her political party 7 times

The strategy from last 10 years has been to
attract from the 2 most populous countries on earth. None speak either
official language, and end up driving Uber or Instacart

Don't forget the millionaires who just buy multiple properties to increase housing prices lol
What a great system!

Seems like French is only important in France and Canada to appease Quebec.
Everywhere else in the world that French is spoken
people understand English or other languages. Unfortunatel that this has
to be a requirement for federal employment.

I understood that you had to pass an english or french language test to be allowed to be an immigrant in Canada.

I have lots to say on this topic. The question
is do I have the time to write it and if so I doubt the cohorts of the
former Minister of Health would permit my words to be posted

Wrong. Have you talked to anybody in a call center lately?

Quebec is the last stronghold in north America
that hasn't walmarted up ther society, I wish the rest of Canada would
value ther identity the same way. But unfortunately, this country
panders to everyone but Canadians.

Excellent! The french language needs to grow. Well educated people are an asset!
Oscar Street
Reply to Bernardo Nin
I agree educated people are desirable. Not
sure French speaking is the only criteria for such a desire though.
Many cultures and spoke languages have educated people.

By that logic I guess everyone in France is a genius.

Of course not only being able to speak french means being well educated. Fluency in the English language helps even more
Oscar Street
Reply to Bernardo Nin
Yes manners are important as well.
Oktay Yukseloglu
In principle it is a great idea. However the
reality is (from my own experience) that these well educated new
immigrants are recruited only to find out, after their arrival, that no
one hires them because they don't have Canadian experience. Whatever
that means. Most would need to support a family and end up working
mediocre jobs for many years. I never understand what it is with this
"Canadian experience". This ludicrous requirement needs to be dropped
first.

I wholeheartedly agree

But don't promote English in Quebec. You can't
make this stuff up. Justin has pretty much seen all his anglo support in
Quebec flushed down the proverbial toilet. Except his rich friends of
course. They could not care less either.

Anglos will probably lose the right to vote there soon. Que is our Florida.

Sounds like another initiative to ensure that
the Liberals have an ongoing supply of Liberal voters in Quebec. Sure,
they know how to wrap up the messaging in a manner that suggests it is
for other purposes...... Can we trust anything this gov't tries to do?

To answer your question -- no!
Oscar Street
Why? International business isn't conducted in French.
How many French speaking powers are there. I'm not against French. I
believe they have just as much right to immigrate as any placing focus
seems like we are going to miss out of quality people else where that
will likely benefit Canada further.
This seems like liberal tactic create further division within policy .

My wife works in a full-time French Immersion school her
in Edmonton. There are a number of teachers there who are from former
French colonies, who first moved to Quebec.
They couldn't tolerate the racial bias and moved to Alberta.

If anyone wants to see what an old-time snake oil
salesman looked like in action, just watch the current PM's performance
from this morning.
He happily crowed about BOTH of Canada's official
languages......then came the announcement about what the government is
doing to protect French.

Maybe it's time to include the First Nations as
part of the founding of Canada and give then some officialness, would
go a long way in stead of the same old.

Shouldn’t we also try for more who speak English?
David Amos
Reply to Aaron Morris
Good question
Daryl Wilson
Why would anyone vote for a party supported by people who think that English needs protecting?
David Semple
Reply to Daryl Wilson
Way to show that your comprehension skills blow chunks.
This is about why every taxpayer in Canada has to foot the bill to protect French.

Some claim they understand English but yet struggle.
