For students who want to study in Quebec and eventually immigrate to the province, the PEQ programs is ideal for them to combine quality education and fast track immigration. The Québec experience program (PEQ – Programme de l’expérience québécoise) is designed to accelerate the selection process for foreign students and skilled workers to obtain their CSQ (Québec selection certificate) for permanent residency.
The goal of the PEQ program is to rapidly issue a CSQ to workers and graduates who meet certain requirements. These requirements include: being considered a graduate or future graduate of the Quebec education system, holding Québec diplomas eligible for the PEQ program and having an advanced intermediate knowledge of French.
When the applicants receive their own CSQ, it’s also issued to their spouse or de facto spouse and dependent children included in their application.
Quebec is looking for talents, in particular those who have lived in the province and have hands-on experience in the work place. For students who are eligible, they can get easy and fast access to permanent residency. With the PEQ program:
- you get a head start embarking on your new life in Québec;
- your application is processed quickly and there is no interview;
- your evaluation is based on just a limited few criteria;
- you will receive your CSQ in less than a month upon presentation of your diploma or attestation.
