Salut everyone!
I am going through the options of getting the PR (Monrpoject Quebec was a joke, now thinking to go directly through EE with English as 1st language or to try to get the Ontario Nomination by French stream).
Today I found this:
Types of work permits for your situation
You’re a French-speaking or bilingual skilled worker who intends to work in a Francophone community outside Quebec
Based on your answer, you may be eligible for an employer-specific work permit if you:
will live and work in a Francophone community outside Quebec,
have been recruited through a Francophone immigration promotional event coordinated between the federal government and francophone minority community stakeholders,
use French on a daily basis, and
will work in a job at a National Occupation Code (NOC) skill level of 0, A or B.
You do not have to work in French to be eligible for this permit. However, we may ask you to complete language testing after you apply. You must get a score of 7 on the TEF: Test d’évaluation de français (available in French only).
If you apply online, you should provide a letter of explanation that briefly explains how you meet these requirements.
Before you submit your work permit application, your employer must:
submit an offer of employment to Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada,
pay a $230 employer compliance fee, and
provide you with an offer of employment number.
How to apply
If this is your first work permit under an LMIA exemption for Francophones working outside Quebec, you must:
fill out the Application for Work Permit Made Outside Canada (PDF, 345.06 KB), and
apply online or to a Visa Application Center (VAC).
If you’re already working in Canada under an LMIA exemption for Francophones, you can apply to extend your work permit.
Note: When you complete your work permit application, select “Exemption from Labour Market Impact Assessment” as the type of work permit in the “Details of intended work in Canada” section.
Get more details on how to apply for a work permit.
Its on cic.gc.ca. So must be legit.
Has anyone tried going through this one?
Cheers!
