French for immigrants

Sign up for the Programme de francisation des immigrants adultes and make the transition to your new life faster and easier—at school, at work, and in Québec society. Since 1999, École de langues has been mandated by Québec’s Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) to provide French-language training to educated immigrants with permanent resident status.

 

Pursue your studies in French at Université Laval

Since the program was first offered at Université Laval in 1999, École de langues has helped countless students pursue undergraduate and graduate studies at Université Laval and go on to find employment in the fields for which they were already qualified.

This partnership with MIFI is a perfect fit for École de langues and for Université Laval as a whole, both in its mission to offer students an international education and its role in strengthening Québec society.
