Good news for those hoping to immigrate to Canada! After the recent suspension of the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), which will pause until November 30, 2025, many foreign nationals might feel a bit lost. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of paths to achieve your dream of permanent residency (PR) in Canada!

You might consider applying through Quebec’s Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ). This program offers four distinct streams based on your skills and education:

• Stream 1: Highly qualified and specialized skills.
• Stream 2: Intermediate and manual skills.
• Stream 3: Regulated professions.
• Stream 4: Exceptional talent.

If you’re open to settling outside Quebec, there are also federal immigration options like the Canadian Experience Class (CEC) and the Federal Skilled Worker Program (FSWP). To make it easier, we've laid out the requirements for both these programs and others you should know about!

Don’t let the PEQ suspension darken your immigration hopes. There are still ways to build your future in Canada – the land of opportunities!
