Quebec Premier Francois Legault is determined to protect the French language in the province and has announced that all temporary foreign workers will soon need to speak French. He also opposes increasing immigration to Quebec to match the rest of Canada and is planning new measures to ensure that temporary foreign workers learn French and do not contribute to Quebec’s Anglicization. Last year, the Francophone province accepted 68,715 new permanent residents, according to data from Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
