In April 1957, as he completed his House of Commons term in the 22nd Canadian Parliament, Lefrançois was appointed to the Senate under Quebec's Repentigny constituency where he remained until 5 November 1976.

Lefrançois died on 13 January 1979 aged 82, survived by his wife Rosina, a son and a daughter.[2]
