Canada's C16 Francophone Mobility Program lets you hire pre-vetted, French-speaking professionals from Cameroon without an LMIA. Already hold an LMIA? We place bilingual candidates directly against your approved position.
Code C16 — C16 hires are processed under IRPR R204(c) — fully LMIA-exempt. Already hold an LMIA? We also place bilingual Francophone candidates directly against your approved position.
The C16 pathway is fully LMIA-exempt. Skip the 3–6 month government process entirely.
Every candidate has passed French/English assessments, credential checks, and relocation readiness screening.
From job post to accepted offer. Our streamlined process moves fast without cutting corners.
All candidates are NCLC 7+ in French and conversational in English — ready for bilingual work environments.
Our legal team handles all C16 documentation, work permit guidance, and IRCC compliance checks.
A dedicated hiring specialist guides you from job post through onboarding — no guesswork.
Create a detailed job listing in minutes. Specify role requirements, bilingual needs, salary range, and relocation support. Our team reviews and activates your listing within 24 hours.
Within 48 hours, we surface a curated shortlist of C16-eligible or LMIA-matched candidates suited to your role. Review profiles, language scores, credentials, and availability.
Conduct interviews through our platform or directly. Our compliance team prepares the offer letter template and the appropriate work permit documentation package — C16 or LMIA pathway.
We guide your new hire through the work permit application, travel logistics, and first-week onboarding. Average time from offer to start date: 6–8 weeks.
