Canada has initiated registrations for the 2026 Destination Canada Mobility Forum, a crucial event for French-speaking and bilingual candidates globally, organized by the Canadian Government.
The forum connects skilled workers with immigration officials, provincial representatives, Francophone communities, and Canadian employers hiring outside Quebec.
The 21st edition arrives at a critical time as Canada focuses on Francophone immigration to strengthen French-speaking minority communities.
What Is the Destination Canada Mobility Forum?
The Destination Canada Mobility Forum is an annual event aiming to attract French-speaking and bilingual talent to Canada, specifically outside Quebec.
The forum provides immigration guidance, employer recruitment, regional promotion, and settlement support in a single platform.
