1. Francophone Mobility Work Permit – Bringing Culinary Talent to Canada

Broaden your culinary team with skilled professionals through the Francophone Mobility Work Permit. This program allows French-English speaking hospitality professionals with job offers (outside of Quebec) to grow their careers in Canada. It supports a more multilingual workforce while connecting employers with skilled culinary talent.

Partner with us to access a pipeline of top culinary talent, from Line Cooks to Sous Chefs, sourced through our trusted international partners. We handle every step, from thorough pre-screening to full document processing, ensuring a smooth, efficient hiring process.

Permits match the length of the job contract and can be renewed. Employers don’t need to provide a French-speaking environment. Simply extend a job offer, and Stepwest takes care of the rest.
