Loi sur l’immigration et la protection des réfugiés L.C. 2001, ch. 27 ; Sollicitations auprès des titulaires de charge publique et de divers intervenants pour un renforcement de la proportion du taux d'immigration francophone dans les communautés de langues officielles en situation minoritaire (contexte Hors Québec). Plus particulièrement, entammer et maintenir un dialogue constructif sur l'atteinte de la cible en immigration et partager nos impressions et priorités quant aux cibles futures.

Plan d'action sur les langues officielles ; Sollicitation auprès de titulaires de charge publique en ce qui concerne le renouvellement et la mise en oeuvre du plan d'action sur les langues officielles à l'horizon post 2023. Parmi les enjeux prioritaires que nous souhaitons voir refléter dans le nouveau plan d'action : une meilleure inclusion du développement économique et des enjeux liées aux entrepreneurs francophones en contexte minoritaire comme moyen d'épanouissement et de vitalité des communautés francophones et acadienne.

Langues officielles: les initiatives de l'ACUFC sont directement liées aux langues officielles, à leur vitalité et leur pérennité au Canada; les collèges et universités membres de l'ACUFC sont des fervents défenseurs et promoteurs de l'utilisation des langues officielles du Canada et leurs étudiants et diplômés en sont les ambassadeurs. Le rôle du fédéral pour appuyer les efforts de l'ACUFC et autres organismes de la francophonie canadienne est essentiel et toute loi ou politique nous concernent et nous interpellent, ainsi que toute politique ou programme liées aux langues officielles également.

Emploi et formation: les collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne forment une main d'oeuvre qualifiée et bilingue pour le marché de l'emploi et favorise le renforcement et l'acquisition des connaissances et compétences requises du marché de l'emploi.

Immigration: les collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne jouent un rôle de premier ordre pour favoriser et appuyer l'intégration socioprofessionnelle des immigrants au sein des communautés francophones minoritaires au pays en offrant des formations linguistiques, des formations professionnelles et autres. L'éducation et l'immigration sont étroitement liées et l'appui du fédéral est important dans ces domaines pour encourager et faciliter la venue des immigrants au Canada.

Commerce international: appui financier du gouvernement fédéral pour le positionnement à l'international des collèges et universités de la francophonie canadienne afin d'encourager la mobilité étudiante internationale.
