Coming August 2, 2018 will see new immigration changes
to Quebec Immigration program. One of the popular programs, The Quebec
Experience Program (PEQ) will be making immigration rules easier for low
skilled workers and spouses.
Quebec is different form rest of the provinces of
Canada as it runs its own independent immigration system independent of federal
immigration authorities. There are several immigration programs run by Quebec
and one of them is the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) - the most popular of
them.
The new
immigration change will allow accompanying spouses of international students or
foreign skilled workers to obtain a spousal work permit, allowing them to work
in Quebec while their partner is engaged in studying or work.
Till now, the accompanying spouses were eligible to apply for a certifact de
selection du Quebec (CSQ) even meeting all other requirements of PEQ. This will
be changing from August 2, 2018.
Under the new guidelines for PEQ, the people on
spousal open work permit will be eligible to apply for a CSQ as long as they
meet all the eligibility requirements of the program.
Additionally, under the current guidelines for PEQ, an
applicant must have a Quebec experience in a skilled occupation that means only
those who have a work experience in a position at National Occupational
Classification (NOC) Skill Level 0, A or B were eligible to apply. However,
Quebec’s new proposal does not specify a restriction based on NOC code. Now,
the workers having occupational level C
and D will also be eligible to apply for PEQ from August 2nd. Source Link
