Dear [requester]/[requester] this email finds you well. | am reaching out with a question regarding the Francophone Mobility Program and its
provisions for Open work permits for family members.
If a candidate meets the eligibility criteria for the Francophone Mobility Program and wishes to apply for a work permit under
this program. Additionally, if the candidate would like to apply for open for permit for his spouse.
We are seeking clarification on whether the rules regarding the National Occupational Classification (NOC) that came into
effect on January 21, 2025, apply to the Francophone Mobility [requester], does the NOC requirement impact the
eligibility of workers to apply open work permits for their family members, or are there any specific conditions that apply
under this program for spousal open work petmit?
Your guidance on this matter would be greatly appreciated, as it will assist in ensuring that the application process proceeds
correctly,
Thank you for your time and assistance. We look forward to your response
Best regards,
[requester]
