The Support Program for the Canadian Francophonie (SPFC) is administered by the Secretariat for Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs (SCIA), in collaboration with the Quebec Offices in Canada, and aims to strengthen links between Quebec and the Francophone and Acadian communities from Canada.

  • This is a multi-sectoral call for projects for Component 3 Partnerships of the Support Program for the Canadian Francophonie 2022-2023.
  • The Program is at the heart of the Quebec government system of support for the Canadian Francophonie. Several hundred organizations, both in Quebec and elsewhere in Canada , use it each year to set up concrete initiatives that contribute to making the Francophonie stronger and united.

The Support Program for the Canadian Francophonie funds projects aimed at:

  • support the development of Francophone and Acadian communities in Canada;
  • promote and encourage the use of French in Canada;
  • strengthen ties between Quebecers and Francophones and Francophiles in Canada;
  • strengthen adherence to an inclusive Francophonie across Canada.

Over the years, the support of the Government of Quebec, through its grant programs, has made it possible to meet the concrete needs expressed by the Francophone and Acadian communities of Canada. It accompanies Quebec's policy on the Canadian Francophonie.
