The program had previously been closed in November 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reopening is expected to provide new opportunities for eligible individuals already living, studying, and working in Quebec who wish to pursue permanent residence through one of the province&#8217;s most well-known immigration pathways.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Who Can Apply Under the Reopened PEQ?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first application intake period will run from July 2 to October 31, 2026.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During this period, applications will be accepted under two streams:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Quebec Graduates Stream<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants may qualify if they obtained an eligible Quebec diploma on or before November 19, 2025.

Applicants have been advised not to use older forms, as they will not be accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quebec noted that processing times may be longer than usual due to the expected volume of applications. The province also confirmed that it is not renewing its previous six-month processing commitment for PEQ applications. Applicants must therefore ensure they maintain valid immigration status and work authorization while their applications are being processed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What Happens to Quebec&#8217;s Skilled Worker Program?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the PEQ reopens, Quebec&#8217;s Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ) will continue operating.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the province says the number of PSTQ invitations will be reduced during the PEQ application period. Future invitations are expected to focus primarily on individuals who do not qualify for the PEQ, including some workers in lower-skilled occupations and candidates who have not yet accumulated the required work experience for PEQ eligibility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Why This Matters<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The reopening of the PEQ may provide renewed opportunities for many international graduates and temporary foreign workers who have already established themselves in Quebec.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program has historically been viewed as one of Quebec&#8217;s most direct pathways toward permanent residence because it recognizes local education, work experience, French language ability, and integration into Quebec society.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For many applicants who were affected by the program&#8217;s closure in 2025, the temporary reopening may offer a new chance to pursue long-term settlement plans in Quebec.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/book-an-appointment\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding whether you qualify<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> under the Quebec Graduates or Temporary Foreign Workers stream, and ensuring your documents, work history, and French-language requirements meet program standards, remains an important part of preparing a successful application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How Sehli Global Can Help<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sehli Global helps applicants understand whether they may qualify under the reopened Quebec Experience Program, assess their eligibility, review documentation requirements, and explore other Canadian immigration pathways that may be available based on their profile.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applicants interested in understanding possible immigration opportunities connected to their situation can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sehliglobal.ca\/book-an-appointment\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">book an appointment with Sehli Global here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quebec&#8217;s decision to temporarily reopen the PEQ from July 2026 to July 2028 marks a significant development for international graduates and temporary foreign workers seeking permanent immigration opportunities in the province.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the reopening may create new opportunities for eligible applicants, individuals must still satisfy Quebec&#8217;s selection requirements and maintain valid immigration status throughout the application process.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Quebec has announced the temporary reopening of its Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), creating a new pathway for eligible&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1265,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35,34],"tags":[44,50,43],"class_list":["post-1264","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-immigration-news","tag-canadian-immigration-news","tag-quebec-updates","tag-sehliglobal","tfm-featured-post","article","has-background","has-excerpt","has-avatar","has-author","has-date","has-comment-count","has-category-meta","has-read-more","has-post-media","thumbnail-"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Quebec Announces Reopening of Popular Immigration Program for Foreign Workers and Graduates - News - Sehli Global %Quebec Reopens PEQ Immigration Program for Graduates and Foreign Workers in 2026<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Quebec has reopened the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ) from July 2026 to July 2028, creating new permanent residence opportunities for eligible international graduates and temporary foreign workers.
