What is Destination Canada Mobility Forum?

Destination Canada Mobility Forum is an annual event organized by the offices of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) located in France and Cameroon. The forum allows French-speaking and bilingual candidates to learn about Canada's immigration programs and expand their network, notably with the presence of representatives from provinces and territories, cities, and regions. Francophone organizations dedicated to the development of Canadian Francophone communities will also be present. The forum also facilitates the connection of candidates with Canadian employers looking to fill positions outside of Quebec

Registration is open until January 31, 2025

Destination Canada Mobility Forum is aimed at French-speaking and bilingual candidates seeking opportunities in Canada (outside of Quebec).

Participation is free and by invitation only. To participate, you must first register. Invitations to participate in person or online are sent to individuals eligible for immigration to Canada and according to the needs of the Canadian labor market.

CONFERENCES

Conferences will be presented each day of the forums (both in-person and online). The conferences will be in French, and the question periods will be bilingual, in French and English.

 

  • Working in Canada: How to apply for a work permit?
  • Settling in Canada: How to obtain permanent residence?
  • Approaching the job market: Keys to a job search in Canada.

 

KIOSKS

Virtual kiosks will be available for consultation for all participants.

Frequently Asked questions


The list of exhibitors will be in the Guide of the forum, which will be distributed to invited visitors. It will also be available in the Exhibition Hall.

You will find job offers at the booths of exhibitors who wish to recruit. You can also use the Job Search tool to find offers by keyword search.

You can apply directly to the employer at the contact address listed on the job offer. Invited candidates can also apply directly to exhibitors at the forum in Paris and Douala.

This recruitment fair is only for people with experience as skilled workers. To learn about our other activities, we invite you to subscribe to the Destination Canada Newsletter.

The last day to register is January 31, 2025. Invitations will be sent starting in early February 2025.

If you are registered and invited, you can visit the booths, watch videos and recordings of the conferences, and download documents from March 10, 2025, to June 30, 2025. You can also view job offers that are still active.

By participating in the forum, you will gain information and create useful contacts for your project to settle in Canada. You will not receive points or other advantages in the immigration process. If you get a job offer, you can apply for a temporary work permit.

The province of Quebec organizes its own activities to support employers in that province.

Don't fall victim to a scam: participation in the forum is free for visitors and exhibitors. If someone asks you to pay to participate, stay vigilant and do not make any payment.

Once invited, it is no longer possible to change the date, as the maximum number of visitors for each day has been reached. You can access the online forum and visit the exhibitors' booths before the forum in Paris and Douala, from February 10, 2025, to June 30, 2025, and from Tuesday, February 25, to Friday, February 28, 2025, if you are invited to the online forum on March 3, 4, and 5, 2025.
