RFI - French Language Immersion Program

The Senate of Canada’s Human Resources Directorate is responsible for managing the Official Languages program. Requests for French immersion training have been growing in the last two years. Participants want to pursue French immersion classes to enhance their second official language in an immersion-type environment. They are looking for new ways of improving their performance in French both inside and outside a classroom setting.

Presently, participants who are interested and eligible to attend French immersion programs are required to travel long distances outside the NCR to access such services. The Senate is seeking to identify similar services within the NCR, both to reduce costs and facilitate accessibility to the programs.
