For employers
Bilingual and French-speaking skilled worker hiring in Canada.
Hire bilingual and French-speaking skilled workers in Canada. Nurses, physicians, and allied health for Quebec and New Brunswick, plus bilingual roles nationwide.
French is not a nice to have. In Quebec and New Brunswick, it is the job.
Canada is officially bilingual, and in Quebec and parts of New Brunswick, French is the working language of healthcare, government, and daily life. Employers who need French-speaking staff cannot just translate a posting. They need candidates who can actually work, document, and care for patients in French, and who understand the licensing and cultural context of the province.
BeGlobal recruits French-speaking healthcare professionals and skilled workers for Quebec and New Brunswick, and bilingual professionals for roles across Canada. We have placed French-speaking healthcare professionals in QC and NB, and we run recruitment missions to francophone markets including Mauritius and Africa.
Who we recruit
French-speaking physicians for Quebec and New Brunswick, including family physicians, specialists, and locums, with licensing support through the College des medecins du Quebec (CMQ) and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New Brunswick (CPSNB).
French-speaking nurses for Quebec and New Brunswick, including registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and nurse practitioners, with licensing support through the Ordre des infirmieres et infirmiers du Quebec (OIIQ) and the College of Nursing of New Brunswick (CNNB), formerly the Nurses Association of New Brunswick.

Bilingual skilled workers for roles across Canada, including customer-facing, administrative, and professional roles where English and French are both required.
Quebec, what employers and candidates need to know
Quebec has its own immigration system, its own licensing colleges, and French as the official language of work. Functional French is required for most healthcare roles, and the licensing pathway runs through the CMQ for physicians and the OIIQ for nurses. Quebec also has its own selection programs for skilled workers, including the Regular Skilled Worker Program and the Quebec Experience Program.
BeGlobal guides candidates through French language assessment, credential recognition, college registration, and the Quebec selection process. We provide free French screening and bridge training to candidates targeting Quebec placements, so language is assessed honestly before anyone commits.
New Brunswick, what employers and candidates need to know
New Brunswick is officially bilingual, and many healthcare roles require English and French. The province has strong demand for family physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals, particularly in Francophone communities. Licensing runs through the CPSNB for physicians and NANB for nurses. New Brunswick offers provincial nominee streams and recruitment incentives for healthcare professionals, including Francophone streams.
BeGlobal recruits bilingual professionals for New Brunswick across healthcare, and supports licensing, relocation, and family settlement in both official languages.
How we assess French, honestly
Step 1, screening. A free French screening conversation to establish working level, not just a test score.
Step 2, formal assessment. Where required, we guide candidates to recognised French language tests accepted by the college or the immigration program.
Step 3, bridge training. Where a candidate is close but not yet at working level, we provide bridge training and a realistic timeline, rather than presenting them as ready.
Step 4, workplace French. We prepare candidates for the French they will actually use: clinical documentation, patient conversations, handover, and team communication, not just classroom French.
Immigration pathways for French-speaking skilled workers
French-speaking candidates have advantages in Canadian immigration. The federal Express Entry system awards additional points for French language ability. Quebec runs its own selection programs. Several provinces have Francophone nominee streams. And the federal government has specific targets for French-speaking immigration outside Quebec.
BeGlobal works with licensed RCIC partners on the immigration file, and we map the best pathway for each candidate: Express Entry, Provincial Nominee Program, Quebec selection, or employer-supported work permit, depending on the candidate and the role.
