As the primary government agency focused on immigrant integration, IFI offers a wide range of services. These include assistance with residency applications, citizenship processes, and family reunification. IFI also provides language training programs to help newcomers learn French, as well as resources for finding employment and accessing social services.
Temporary Work Permits
Temporary work permits are often the first step for foreign workers in Quebec. Programs like the Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) and International Mobility Program (IMP) allow employers to hire foreign workers to fill temporary labour and skill shortages. In some cases, a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) may be required to demonstrate the need to hire a foreign worker.
