Abstract
Mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) are becoming increasingly frequent on the international scene, fostering enhanced professional mobility. This article focuses on the recent implementation of MRAs between France and Quebec, demonstrating how the political process played an important role in bringing organisations from both sides to reach arrangements that have allowed migrants faster access to professional practice in Quebec. The steps described highlight the complex yet ultimately feasible nature of such arrangements. Finally, this article raises several questions that will be addressed in an ongoing research project about French professionals entering the labour force in Quebec, with a focus on eight professions in particular.
