Workers brought to    Canada under this LMIA-exempt program then had the option of staying in Canada permanently if they fulfilled the criteria of one of the federal immigration    programs, such as the Canadian Experience Class.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is unquestionably a big setback for francophone immigration,&#8221; said Gilles Benoit, president of the    <em>Coop\u00e9rative d\u2019int\u00e9gration francophone de l\u2019\u00cele-du-Prince-\u00c9douard<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;We relied heavily on the Francophone Significant Benefit program to promote the recruitment of qualified bilingual workers among employers in the    province. It is the only tool francophones had to get tangible results in francophone immigration to Prince Edward Island.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    The federal Minister of Citizenship and Immigration            Chris Alexander, however, was recently quoted        as saying that his department is hoping to increase francophone immigration to communities outside Quebec. Just last week, Mr. Alexander stated \u201cOur    government is proud to promote Francophone immigration to Canada, which will help to ensure our communities remain vibrant and prosperous. We will continue    to work with our partners to attract Francophone immigrants with the skills our labour market and economy needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>    Therefore, it seems possible that another program aimed at securing employment opportunities for francophones outside Quebec may be established in place of    the French Significant Benefit Program.
