Quebec Reopens PEQ for Two Years

Quebec is reviving its fast-track PEQ program for two years, giving eligible applicants until October to submit their cases — a move sparked by public outcry after the program’s abrupt shutdown left thousands stranded. The government expects 8,000 to 12,000 applications during this window, with no cap, but this isn’t a permanent fix — future rounds will follow before July 2028, when the new PSTQ program takes over. Critics call it a political gesture, not enough to undo the damage done to those already integrated into Quebec society, while the government insists it’s part of its broader economic immigration strategy to meet annual targets of 45,000 newcomers.
