The Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ) represents a streamlined pathway for international graduates and workers with Quebec experience to take a significant step toward attaining permanent residence through the acquisition of a Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ). Under the unique parameters set out by the Quebec-Canada Accord, established in April 1991, Quebec possesses the distinct authority to nominate economic immigrants within the skilled worker category.

Conceived by the Ministry of Immigration, Francisation, and Integration (MIFI), the PEQ was designed to capitalize on the skills and familiarity of individuals already residing in Quebec – those who haveilated Quebec’s cultural and contribute to its societal framework. This resonates with the government’s aims support Quebec’s challenging demographics while an immigration strategy that supports the province’s labor needs.

Since its initiation in 2010 and up until 2019, PEQ’s impact has been noteworthy, with an issuance of over 70,000 CSQs to temporary residents. Owing to its heightened demand, where 86 percent of all CSQs were dispensed to PEQ candidates, the Quebec government initiated an update in the fall of 2019. These reforms were intended to even out the candidate spread across various immigration programs and to refine the PEQ’s alignment with the labor market demands.
