Facts and Figures, Profiles of Official Language Immigrants: French Speaking Permanent Residents outside Quebec presents the annual intake of French-speaking permanent residents in Canada outside the province of Québec, by category of immigration from 2006 to 2015. The report examines selected characteristics for French-speaking permanent residents.
“French-speaking immigrants” are defined by the following criteria: 1) permanent residents with French as Mother Tongue; 2) permanent residents with Mother Tongue other than French and with “French Only” as official language spoken (excluding “Both English and French” as official language spoken). Note that official language(s) spoken (English only, French only, both French and English, and neither language) are self-declared indicators of knowledge of an official language.
Please note that in these datasets, the figures have been suppressed or rounded to prevent the identification of individuals when the datasets are compiled and compared with other publicly available statistics. Values between 0 and 5 are shown as “--“ and all other values are rounded to the nearest multiple of 5. This may result to the sum of the figures not equating to the totals indicated.
