Pivoting to Franco mobility from express entry

[b1994]

Hi there,

I was gonna go through the French pathway via express entry. However I haven’t reached the French level required but I have enough French to get my Franco mobility work permit.

I am planning to apply for my Franco mobility work permit in November 2026 as my current work permit expires on January 8, 2027. When I looked on IRCC website for document checklist of franco mobility from within canada, I am unable to find a proper list. Has anyone applied for this type of work permit and are there any items I need to keep in mind (except French exam result and employer job code) that might derail me? I just want to avoid any last minute surprises because the window when I have to apply for this and when my work permit expires is very short. Please advise.

Thank you,
B
