Candidate FAQs

No. Candidates are never charged a placement fee — employers pay our recruitment fees. Optional preparation resources and third-party government or exam fees are separate.
How long does the process take?
Typically 2–6 months from shortlisting to arrival, depending on the destination country's permit processing times and any licensing requirements.
Can my family join me?
In most sponsored streams yes — spouses often qualify for an open work permit and children for schooling. We confirm this per country and per permit type.
What if I don't meet the requirements yet?
We tell you exactly what is missing and which preparation resources or exam bands to target, then re-assess you when you're ready.

Francophone Mobility

Francophone Mobility for logistics & supply chain roles in Canada

The Francophone Mobility stream lets Canadian employers outside Quebec hire French-speaking drivers, warehouse and supply-chain staff without a Labour Market Impact Assessment. For logistics & supply chain employers it is often the fastest compliant route to a work permit, and for candidates it converts French ability into a direct Canadian work opportunity.

Candidate eligibility

  • Habitual French speaker able to evidence French ability
  • Valid job offer from an eligible employer outside Quebec
  • Qualifications or experience relevant to the logistics & supply chain role offered
  • Meets admissibility, medical and security requirements
  • Intends to work in the offered role on arrival

French language requirements

  • NCLC 5 or higher in French oral expression and comprehension is the usual benchmark
  • TEF Canada or TCF Canada results are the standard evidence
  • Other credible proof of habitual French use may be accepted
  • No English test is required for the stream itself

TEF and TCF Canada preparation packs are available in the Resources Marketplace or directly on Bulawa AI.

Required documents

  • Offer of employment number from the employer portal
  • TEF Canada or TCF Canada results
  • Passport and digital photo
  • CV, qualifications and reference letters

  5. 05Permit approval and travel authorisation
  6. 06Arrival, onboarding and settlement support

Francophone Mobility FAQs

Does the employer need an LMIA?
No. That is the central advantage of Francophone Mobility — the employer registers an offer of employment and pays the compliance fee instead.
Does the job have to be in French?
No. The requirement is that the candidate is a habitual French speaker; the working language of the role can be English.
Which French test should I take?
TEF Canada or TCF Canada. Aim for NCLC 5 or better in speaking and listening; our TEF and TCF preparation resources are built around those bands.
Can this lead to permanent residence?
Yes. French ability attracts significant additional points in Express Entry, and several provincial streams prioritise Francophone candidates.
