Living together in France

The film: “Living together in France”

When a foreign person wishes to reside in France for the first time, he/she must enter into an “Accommodation and Integration Contract” (CAI).

First step: a half-day information session held in an OFII office.

First appointment: a collective meeting with the showing of the 16-minute film “Vivre ensemble, en France” (Living together in France).

The aim of this film is twofold. First, to present to newcomers the fundamental values of the French Republic as well as each citizen’s rights and duties (gender equality, secularism, human dignity and human rights). Then, to provide information about the CAI and explain the duty of each migrant to respect it in order to have their resident permit issued or renewed.
