VIVRE À FOND LA FRANCOPHONIE CANADIENNE
THREE-WEEK PROGRAM FOR GRADES 8 AND 9
Destination Clic offers you three weeks of cultural discoveries,
exciting
experiences, and new friends while exploring another
francophone region of Canada.
What is Destination Clic?
If you are francophone, in Grade 8 or Grade 9, and have your permanent residence outside of Quebec, Destination Clic could give you three weeks to make exciting discoveries, enjoy new experiences, meet people you’ll never forget, and achieve real and useful goals, all while exploring another region of Canada. Discover your potential! Join others like yourself who are looking to boost their future assets while improving their French.
Stack the cards in your favour and get the tools you need for a better future. French offers a world of possibilities for you to discover.
Destination Clic offers French workshops, social, cultural, and sports activities, and guided tours in the selected region.
I recommend this program to all young people who want to get a
taste of university life and enjoy a cultural experience in another
city in Canada in order to better appreciate the French language.

You will live on campus. Bursary
The bursary covers the cost of the course,
instructional materials, meals, and accommodation, as well as part of the travel costs.* If you receive a
bursary, you’ll have to pay a registration fee. The bursary** is paid directly to the host institution.

Who can participate in Destination Clic?
To be eligible to apply, you must meet the following criteria:• be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (those studying in Canada on student visas are not eligible); • have your permanent residence outside of Quebec; • be enrolled in a French-language school

Note: Students who speak French as a first language but do not attend a French-language school may also apply, but further documentation or assessment may be required to ensure
they have the required level of fluency.
I loved meeting other
francophones! It was great to
hear the different French accents
spoken all over Canada.
