Does France have a restrictive immigration policy?

Now European immigrants are in full swing, and France is a romantic country. Let many people yearn for it, so how to immigrate to France, and what are the immigration policies of France? Let's talk about whether France has a restrictive immigration policy. Let's take a look together.

At the Council of Ministers, the new French bill laid down new measures. As for the residence permit, foreigners will get a residence permit for one year after settling in France, and a residence permit for two years after the expiration of one year. There will be new policies and regulations for potential talents or international students.

Recently, the reporter learned that in order to continue to attract outstanding foreign students to enter French universities for further study, the policy of restricting immigration is pursued. French study abroad centers should review the application for studying abroad one by one, and French consulates abroad must consult the French study abroad center (CEF) before issuing visas to the applicants. In other words, foreign students applying to study in France will have to be "screened" by the French authorities.

According to reports, CEF is a department under the French consulates in various countries, which is responsible for introducing French higher education institutions to foreign college students and screening overseas students. According to the previous regulations, it is up to the school to decide whether to accept students who apply for studying abroad. An official inspection item has been added to the new regulations. The French study abroad center will give opinions on the qualifications of the students who apply, and the consulate will issue visas according to the opinions of the center.

It is reported that the main evaluation criteria include: academic level, French level (except for students studying English teaching programs) and the rationality of the study abroad plan. At present, 40 of the 90 universities in France have signed an agreement with the French study abroad center, agreeing to register online through this center. The detention method has added a threshold, however, experts believe that studying in France is still very attractive. At present, among the overseas students accepted by France, China students have the largest increase. Among them, 45% of China students have a bachelor's degree. Many people choose literature and economics.
