The short version
Quebec ended the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) on November 19, 2025, then authorized a temporary reopening for two years, to July 2, 2028. Applications are only accepted from July 2 to October 31, 2026, and only from people who already met the diploma or work criteria on November 19, 2025.
Who can apply
- Quebec graduates with a qualifying Quebec diploma.
- Temporary workers with two years of full-time Quebec work in a TEER 0–3 job.
Both need French: the worker stream requires oral French at level 7.
