The federal government is funding 45 Universite Sainte-Anne students in Clare and Halifax.
Acadie-Annapolis MP Chris d’Entremont says it will help navigate them through their immigration journey.
“We need things like healthcare and innovation, and this is what this program will hopefully bring to the area, a better concentration on Francophone immigration, especially for regions like ours,” said d’Entremont, who made the announcement Friday in Church Point.
