More international students will be able to study in French.
The federal government is funding 45 Universite Sainte-Anne students in Clare and Halifax.
Acadie-Annapolis MP Chris d’Entremont says it will help navigate them through their immigration journey.
“We need things like healthcare and innovation, and this is what this program will hopefully bring to the area, a better concentration on Francophone immigration, especially for regions like ours,” said d’Entremont, who made the announcement Friday in Church Point.
He says the goal is to revitalize minority Francophone communities.
“It starts from the day someone is interested in signing up for a course here, we try to integrate them into the community and get them to stay.”
The funding totals over $590,000.
It’s one of four federal projects announced by the Centre for Innovation in Francophone Immigration. (CIFI)
We’re investing approximately $3.6 million to support 4 new projects funded by the Francophone Immigration Support Program to promote the economic and demographic growth of Francophone minority communities. https://t.co/muOrnt1JlN
