The Eagle findings show that the initiative is to attract and retain Francophone international students for a direct pathway for study and permanent residency in Canada after graduation.

“The initiative is touted as a flagship measure of the new Francophone immigration strategy meant to boost the French-speaking population outside of Quebec, which has declined since 1971 from 6.1 per cent of the Canadian population outside the province to just 3.5 per cent today, threatening the country’s bilingual national identity”, a report in The Toronto Star stated.
