3 I. CONTEXT ORGANIZATION In 2009, looking at the demographic challenges facing the four Atlantic provinces of Canada, la Société Nationale de l Acadie (SNA) identified immigration as one of its priorities. According to the SNA, immigration is a modern and important issue especially in the context of maintaining a linguistic balance. An Atlantic Symposium on Francophone Immigration organized in 2009 recommended the establishment of an collaborative body on Francophone immigration for the Atlantic region. Le Comité atlantique sur l immigration francophone (CAIF) came to life because of this recommendation. It brings together stakeholders in Francophone immigration within the Atlantic provinces (leaders from the SNA s member organizations, governments, community leaders in immigration and in the economic sector) who exchange ideas, establish partnerships, share resources, work on common issues and speak as one in order to implement within the region the national strategic plan designed to encourage Francophone immigration in minority language Francophone communities. 3 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
4 Between 2002 and 2008, Atlantic Canada increased the number of immigrants by 32 % (not including foreign students) the highest increase of its recent history. Nowadays, provinces play a greater role in welcoming new immigrants and it is important that the services offered be adapted to the needs. It quickly became clear that while steps had to be taken in each of the Atlantic provinces to further the economic, social, cultural and educational integration of immigrants, a common challenge would also be to raise the awareness of all citizens of the Atlantic region to Francophone immigration. CAIF identified the raising of Francophone immigration awareness as a crucial element of its action plan. The campaign «Francophone Immigration a Strength for Atlantic Canada» aims to explain the contribution made by Francophone immigrants to the region. In order to launch this campaign and to generate the maximum impact, Francophone Immigration Week has been established and will occur every year during the first week of November. 4 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
5 II. FRANCOPHONE IMMIGRATION A STRENGTH FOR ATLANTIC CANADA A. ADDITIONAL HUMAN RESOURCES I. Contributing to the communities Newcomers bring new energy to provinces in the social, economic and cultural sectors. They bring new knowledge, new expertise, and new skills that they in turn share with their host community. In the Atlantic region they have helped in the development and diversity of our communities. II. French Language Francophone immigration is needed in order to preserve linguistic balance within the four Atlantic Provinces. French-speaking newcomers help maintain linguistic infrastructure and French services. They also encourage the wider use of French in a national bilingual environment and help the Francophone population of the four Atlantic Provinces protect its language. 5 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
6 B. NEW ECNOMIC RESOURCES I. SKILLED WORKFORCE The Atlantic population is ageing and, as economic conditions improve, here is a shortage of shortage of workers. Immigration is an immediate solution to the lack of skilled workers. The arrival of francophone skilled workers is an opportunity for the Atlantic Provinces to develop partnerships outside the region. II. NEW INVESTMENTS French-speaking immigrant entrepreneurs bring jobs and help sustain a growing and diversified economy both in urban and rural areas. 6 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
7 III. FRANCOPHONE IMMIGRATION WEEK IN ATLANTIC CANADA (SIFA) This initiative will take place every year during the first week of November. The first edition will occur from November 5 to 9, This action aims to facilitate the integration of Frenchspeaking immigrants and includes all communities within the Atlantic region. It will help host communities understand what francophone immigration is all about. It will also shine a light on the contribution of French-speaking newcomers to the economic, social and cultural development of Francophone communities in a minority language situation. It is geared to the general public in Atlantic Canada, under the theme: 7 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
8 The theme relies on testimonials from Francophone and English-speaking immigrants to: explain how immigration works from the inside; put a face on Francophone immigration; Bring forth the human aspects; Encourage reflection and a better understanding of integration as well as to highlight the adjustment of Francophone immigrants. A. ISSUES FOR IMMIGRATION WEEK Francophone Immigration Week is about giving citizens an opportunity to discuss the issues: Giving citizens information to reflect upon; Offering ways to open minds to the reality of immigration; Encouraging the debate of ideas as well as initiatives; Explaining and fighting against prejudice; Encouraging each citizen to help integration. 8 Francophone Immigration Week in Atlantic Canada
