Many Colombians have chosen to leave the country in search of better academic and working conditions due to the lack of opportunities registered in certain fields in the national territory. Proof of this is the 540,000 people who left the country in 2022, according to figures provided by Migration in Colombia.

In the midst of this situation, Canada has positioned itself as one of the most sought-after destinations for Colombians to settle and develop their studies. The North American country is characterized by multiple advantages, given the quality of life it offers, as well as the work and study opportunities available there.

Taking these aspects into account, the Canadian government has promoted different alternatives allowing people from other countries to visit their territory and even get involved in certain educational programs. One of them concerns learning French, a language for which it was learned that government entities in the North American country would pay students for the study of the language.

A large part of these study programs are developed in Quebeca region of the country that welcomes thousands of students wishing to learn the language, necessary to be able to communicate and obtain employment in this sector of Canadian territory.

The program is called Franciscation Quebec and is designed exclusively for those who live in Quebec or immigrants who want to start a new life in the city, which clearly requires them to have a student or work visa. The program would give them 235 Canadian dollars and $25 in transportation assistance, reaching a figure similar to 800,000 Colombian dollars.

However, progress in studies in this area Canada This could mean paying 1,000 Canadian dollars, a figure close to three million Colombian pesos.

The second option is to manually fill out a form and send it by postal mail attaching all the required documents in https://www.quebec.ca/fr/education/apprentice-le-francais/cours-plein-temps/immigrants/registration.
