You invested in onboarding and training them. Are you now ready to invest in their French-language skills so you can retain them?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">For many Quebec businesses, recruiting foreign workers has provided a practical solution to labour shortages in recent years.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">International recruitment, administrative procedures, work permits, support upon arrival, onboarding, and job training\u2014all of these mean that welcoming a foreign worker often represents a considerable investment for an organization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">But a new reality must now be incorporated into human resources strategies: proficiency in French is becoming increasingly important in determining whether certain foreign workers can continue their professional and immigration journey in Quebec.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">For employers, French-language training should therefore no longer be viewed solely as a linguistic or regulatory matter. It is also becoming a workforce retention strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">2028 May seem far away. In reality, It\u2019s just around the corner.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">The Quebec government has introduced a new language requirement for certain temporary foreign workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A person applying for a Quebec Acceptance Certificate (CAQ) under the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP), after having accumulated three years of work-related residence in Quebec, will be required to demonstrate oral French proficiency corresponding to Level 4 of the Quebec scale of French proficiency levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A transitional measure is provided for workers who are already in Quebec: verification of French proficiency will apply to temporary selection applications submitted as of December 17, 2028.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">However, certain categories of workers are exempt, including foreign agricultural workers. This date may give employers the impression that they still have plenty of time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French-language training must therefore begin well before the work permit renewal process.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Level 4: What does it mean in practical terms?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Level 4 of the Qu\u00e9bec Scale corresponds to a level of communication ability that enables a person to begin functioning relatively independently in a variety of everyday situations. The goal, of course, is not for the worker to have a perfect command of French. However, they must develop sufficient ability to understand and express themselves orally in French.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">For employers, this means that waiting until only a few months before a renewal application to begin French courses is a risky strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A worker who begins learning early enough can progress gradually, consolidate their skills and, most importantly, use French directly in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">This is precisely where employers can play a decisive role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Why risk losing that investment over a language requirement that can be anticipated?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French-Language Training is not an additional expense: It protects your investment<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">This is probably the most important shift in perspective for employers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">When a company has invested thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours in recruiting, welcoming, onboarding, and training a foreign worker, funding or facilitating that worker\u2019s French-language learning should not be viewed as a separate new expense.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Instead, the training should be considered the final step in protecting the investment that has already been made.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">The equation is relatively simple: Recruit + onboard + train + provide French-language training = increase the chances of retaining the worker over the long term.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French Learned at Work Is Also Useful\u2026 at Work<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">There is also an immediate operational benefit. French-language training for foreign workers can be tailored to the realities of the company. Vocabulary, role-playing scenarios and exercises can focus on communication with supervisors, work instructions, health and safety, equipment, procedures, team meetings, interactions with colleagues, customer communications and real-life situations encountered on a daily basis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">The objective is therefore not simply to prepare someone to meet a government requirement. It is to enable them to work progressively more in French. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">As a result, the company can benefit from the training well before the worker reaches the targeted language proficiency level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">How long will it take them to reach the required language level?<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Without an initial assessment, the employer is operating blindly. The first step should therefore be to establish a language profile of the organization\u2019s foreign workforce. It then becomes possible to determine who needs training, what level should be targeted, and what French-language training path would be realistic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A Shared Responsibility Between the Worker and the Employer<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Ultimately, the responsibility for achieving the required language level rests with the worker.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">However, employers have a powerful role to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">They can facilitate access to courses. They can allow time for learning that fits within work schedules. They can offer training tailored to their industry. They can measure progress. They can encourage the use of French in the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Most importantly, they can start early enough.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">For a worker who is simultaneously working full-time, adapting to a new country, and sometimes supporting a family, learning French independently can represent a considerable challenge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">An employer that provides structure and support throughout this process increases the likelihood of success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Turning an obligation into an opportunity<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French-language training is sometimes presented solely in terms of the obligations arising from Quebec\u2019s evolving language framework, particularly since the adoption of Bill 96.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">However, for businesses, the issue goes far beyond compliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">A worker who improves their French can generally communicate more effectively with colleagues, understand procedures more easily, participate more actively in meetings, advance professionally, and integrate more sustainably into the workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French-language training therefore becomes, at the same time, a tool for integration, productivity, internal mobility, and retention.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Employers: Five Actions to Take Now<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">There is no need to wait until 2028 to take action. Companies that employ foreign workers can begin now by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"1\" type=\"1\">\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Identifying the workers concerned:<br \/>\nDocument their situation, how long they have been in Qu\u00e9bec, and their medium- and long-term plans.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Assessing their current level of French:<br \/>\nAn assessment makes it possible to determine the gap between their current proficiency and the level they may eventually be required to reach.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Establishing a realistic progression plan:<br \/>\nA beginner does not move instantly to Level 4 or Level 7.\u00a0<\/span>Progress must be planned over time.<\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Providing training tailored to the workplace:<br \/>\nThe more closely the learning reflects real workplace situations, the more easily it can be applied on a daily basis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Measuring progress regularly:<br \/>\nInterim assessments make it possible to adjust the training and avoid unpleasant surprises as an administrative deadline approaches.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b><span lang=\"EN-CA\">The real risk is doing nothing<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">Quebec needs skilled workers. Businesses have invested tremendous effort in recruiting them. And many foreign workers now want to build their future here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">French-language training sits at the intersection of these three realities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">For employers, the objective should therefore not simply be to comply with an obligation. It should be to secure and retain their strategic workforce.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><span lang=\"EN-CA\">You may have invested thousands of dollars to recruit a worker from abroad. You invested time in welcoming and integrating them. Your managers and employees trained them. They now know your organization.
