2019-11-15 – Quebec\u2019s immigration ministry has announced the restoration of the pre-November 1 requirements for the Quebec Experience Program<\/a> (PEQ).<\/p>\n

As of November 14, candidates applying to the PEQ will be assessed based on the criteria that existed before the November 1 changes were announced by Immigration Minister Simon Jolin-Barrette.<\/p>\n

Jolin-Barrette has since suspended the changes following an outcry from stakeholders, including candidates and employers.<\/p>\n

The November 1 changes introduced areas of training list for the graduate stream of the PEQ, and a list of targeted National Occupational Classification codes for the temporary worker stream.<\/p>\n

Jolin-Barrette says he will consult stakeholders before revising both the areas of training and targeted NOC codes list.<\/p>\n

Reverting to the original requirements means degree holders with between 900 and 1,799 hours of training are no longer eligible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Those with between 900 and 1,799 hours of training that submitted an application between November 1 and November 13 will be assessed based on the criteria that existed at that time.<\/p>\n

All other candidates who applied will be assessed based on the pre-November 1 criteria.<\/p>\n

In announcing the suspension of the changes on Facebook, Jolin-Barrette wrote: \u201cOver the past few days, various economic and education stakeholders have raised questions about the lists of areas of demand training and jobs in deficit.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo reassure all these stakeholders, the Government of Quebec announces the temporary suspension of modifications to the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLists of in-demand training areas and jobs in the deficit will be revised in collaboration with the relevant actors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PEQ is a fast-track route to a Quebec Selection Certificate for international graduates and skilled workers who have spent the required amount of time in the province.<\/p>\n

Prior to the Coalition Avenir Quebec\u2019s changes, all degrees made candidates eligible for the PEQ\u2019s international graduate stream. Under the changes, the list was limited to\u00a065 bachelor\u2019s degrees, 24 masters, 7 doctorates as well as 59 college diplomas.<\/p>\n

The new rules also saw a\u00a0list of specific \u2018in-demand jobs\u2019\u00a0for the temporary foreign worker stream of the PEQ.<\/p>\n

Jolin-Barrette had already backtracked to a certain extent by saying those already in the province would not be subject to the changes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
