Hire Bilingual Talent. Two Pathways. Zero Guesswork.
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.
From post to placement in an average of 14 days — with full C16 compliance built in.
Zero LMIA Required
The C16 pathway is fully LMIA-exempt. Skip the 3–6 month government process entirely.
Pre-Vetted Talent
Every candidate has passed French/English assessments, credential checks, and relocation readiness screening.
14-Day Average Hire
From job post to accepted offer. Our streamlined process moves fast without cutting corners.
Bilingual Professionals
All candidates are NCLC 7+ in French and conversational in English — ready for bilingual work environments.
Full Compliance Support
Our legal team handles all C16 documentation, work permit guidance, and IRCC compliance checks.
Dedicated Account Manager
A dedicated hiring specialist guides you from job post through onboarding — no guesswork.
