Sometimes opportunity speaks another language, but it still calls your name. France has released a list of over 80 high-demand jobs now open to foreigners, including Nigerians, as it faces deepening labour gaps.
According to Vanguard, the policy offers a legal pathway for both qualified professionals abroad and undocumented workers already in France to fill essential roles across sectors like health, construction, hospitality, and IT.
With France’s labour market under pressure, the doors have been opened wider for skilled Nigerian professionals and migrants seeking legal work and residency options.
- France has updated its official list of labour shortage jobs accessible to foreign nationals, including Nigerians
- The list covers over 80 occupations in areas like healthcare, agriculture, and engineering
- The policy supports legal pathways for job-based residency and work documentation
- It comes amid wider demographic shifts and skills shortages in the French economy
- Nigerians with relevant skills now have an official route to work and reside in France legally
This development signals a win for France’s economy and Nigerians pursuing greener pastures abroad — legally and skillfully.
