The % of the population outside of Quebec and NB that is truly bilingual (F/E) is very low, even though French immersion programs have been increasingly available in English-speaking parts of the country over the past two decades. Most graduates of F.I. programs are not fully bilingual. It's quite challenging to attain that level of proficiency without living in a French-majority area for a minimum of a few years. Not surprisingly then, the pool of teacher-candidates who have the language skills to teach in a F.I. program is small in most of Canada. Canadians who are truly bilingual have many options for employment. Teaching is just one of these.
