A recently enacted immigration law in France stipulates that foreign nationals are now required to successfully complete a language examination in order to maintain their residency status in the country. This new regulation is expected to affect tens of thousands of individuals, who may confront the serious risk of deportation if they do not attain the required level of language proficiency. Compounding this challenge is the concurrent decline in the availability of in-person language courses, which are essential for many individuals seeking to improve their skills. For numerous long-term residents who are currently employed, this requirement could significantly alter their future opportunities and stability in France, potentially jeopardizing their ability to remain in the country and continue contributing to the workforce.
