Quebec promised to bring exceptions to recent changes to PEQ.

On November 6, 2019, the immigration minister of Quebec Simon Jolin-Barrette announced that the provincial government would reverse some of the new rules introduced for applicants in the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ). The new regulation announced last week, restricted the program eligibility criteria for international students and foreign workers and made them harder to apply for provincial selection. Following the multiple objections by the opposition and public, the government announced that those who are already residing in Quebec will be able to apply under the old criteria.
