The predominantly English-speaking province of Ontario hopes to attract more Francophone immigrants, who are currently only four percent, by raising the share of Moliere-speaking immigrants to a minimum of five percent.
Canadian Immigration, Refugee and Citizenship Minister Ahmed Hussein said on Friday that his country did not intend to settle for the current immigrants' quotas but sought to overcome them.
The new migration policy aims to maintain the demographic balance between the French-speaking population and their English-speaking counterparts in Ontario, especially as the goal set by the Canadian authorities has not been reached, with only 2.6 percent of French-speaking immigrants in the country.
