The linguistic data from Statistics Canada\u2019s 2021 Census confirms a decline of the French language across the country and calls for urgent action. The vitality of Alberta’s Francophonie depends in part on immigration. For more than a decade, less than 2% of the immigrants admitted each year outside Quebec were French-speaking – far from the 4.4% targeted by the federal government. However, in 2022, 1,510 French-speaking permanent residents settled in Alberta; this is double the number in 2021. Even with this increase, there are still systemic barriers that make the immigration process very difficult for those who do not have English as their first language.<\/p>\n
