The Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration (French: Ministère de l'Immigration, de la Francisation et de l'Intégration) is a government department in Quebec responsible for immigration, Francisation, and integration in the province. Accordingly, it provides a variety of programs for immigrants and immigrant communities in the province.
Jurisdiction in matters of immigration in Quebec is shared with the Canadian government, in accordance to the Constitution Act of 1867 (article 95) and the 1991 Canada–Québec Accord relating to Immigration and Temporary Admission of Aliens. The federal government pays financial compensation to Quebec in order to ensure the reception and integration of immigrants.
The department was previously known as the Ministry of Immigration, Diversity, and Inclusion (Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Diversité et de l’Inclusion), but received its current title after the CAQ party, a centre-right to right-wing Quebec nationalist and autonomist provincial party in Quebec, took power in October 2018. The name change would be in accordance with the CAQ government's policy of prioritizing culturally-fit Francophone immigrants from French-speaking countries.
