PEI Introduced a Series of Eight Information Booklets to Promote Francophone Immigration

NEHRU PLACE, India - Jan. 17, 2020 - PRLog -- An information booklet series has been launched by the francophone economic development group of the Canadian province, Prince Edward Island. These booklets have been designed by the Réseau de développement économique et d'employabilité (RDÉE) and contain significant information for French-speaking immigrants so that they can know about PEI's French economic system and which in turn can help the province in meeting its growing labor needs.

Total eight booklets have been launched by the province with an aim to attract more French-speaking immigrants and replace the ageing population of PEI with more young, dynamic and skilled workers. Around 34% of PEI's total population age over 55 years and more than 51% of francophone in PEI are in that same age group. Thus, as said, by attracting more French-speaking immigrants can further help the province in strengthening its community.

Out of 8 booklets, the main booklet is 'Opportunity Awaits: Attracting Francophone immigrants to Prince Edward Island', this booklet majorly talks about the importance of inviting francophone immigrants to the province to support its culture and economy.

If we go by Statistics Canada's table that is listed in the main booklet, then it shows that PEI's population growth rate was 6% between the year 2015 to 2018, which is considered as the fastest population growth rate in Canada between those years.

The booklet also states that, "Many of the Island's important industries need bilingual (French and English) workers and there is a growing need for new entrepreneurs. In addition to economic opportunities, immigrants who settle on Prince Edward Island benefit from an excellent quality of life."

The booklet also states that "immigrants who can speak both French and English earn an average of 15 percent more annual income than unilingual workers."
