COMPLIANCE WITH LANGUAGE LAWS

 

TURNING LEGAL REQUIREMENTS INTO BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES

Language laws in Quebec are adapted to the requirements of the Francophone market, which makes up a part of your client base, your staff and your partners. In accordance with Bill 101 (Charter of the French language) and 96 (Act respecting French, the official and common language of Québec), a francization process is mandatory for any business employing 25 people or more in Quebec. Francization allows you to capture a bigger part of the market and respond to numerous governmental and more governmental requests for tenders. Versacom helps you optimize your process by making it efficient and predictable from start to finish.
