On December 9, 2025, the InfoTET team had the pleasure of visiting the La Relance Adult Education Center in Marieville to present our program during an evening French course for adults.
La Relance offers French language courses that help participants improve their French and use it as a tool for full integration into Quebec society and the workforce. Thanks to the warm welcome from the center, we were able to meet Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) directly and hear about their experiences firsthand.
Learning French is essential for TFWs to understand their work environment, communicate effectively with employers and colleagues, and access essential services, reducing the risk of misunderstandings, isolation, or unfair situations.
This visit was carried out in collaboration with Intégration Compétences, the organization responsible for the PSTM in the region. We had the opportunity to interact with TFWs from Colombia, Mexico, and Guatemala, who are taking French classes to improve their social and professional integration, as well as their quality of life in Quebec.
Our regional coordinator, Jonathan Buitrago, took the opportunity to introduce the InfoTET Québec program to the TFWs, explaining the services, resources, and tools available to support their integration and protection in the province. It was also an opportunity to distribute the new edition of the information guide for TFWs, allowing us to answer their questions, listen to their experiences, and better understand their needs. These warm interactions are at the heart of our mission: supporting and providing tools to Temporary Foreign Workers throughout their journey in Quebec.
InfoTET Québec is a support program for Temporary Foreign Workers, funded by the Federal Government through Immigrant Québec, with a presence across the province. The program aims to fund initiatives and collaborate with community organizations to support migrant workers, with special attention to those in vulnerable situations or who face barriers to accessing information and exercising their rights.
At InfoTET of Immigrant Québec, we believe that activities like this are essential for strengthening inclusion, providing information to Temporary Foreign Workers, and promoting their overall well-being in Quebec. We will continue supporting initiatives that foster information, training, and effective integration for those who contribute to the development of our province.
We would like to thank Joannie Giroux, liaison officer at La Relance, for her warm welcome and support, as well as the teachers at the center for their dedication. We also thank Kana Yooko and Yessica Aguirre from Intégration Compétences for their collaboration and commitment to this initiative.
