Quebec said that as part of the program, "graduates from francophone CEGEP schools and universities as well as temporary employees who [had] already resided in the province" will be its main targets.

In order to further strengthen and protect the French in the province, Quebec has also taken action, including the introduction of Bill 96. With the passage of Bill 96, newcomers will only have six months to learn French before being forced to use solely that language for the majority of their interactions with the government.
