According to Quebec’s new immigration strategy, which was unveiled on October 28, the province is looking to admit up to 52,500 new permanent residents by 2022, plus another 18,000 or more to compensate for a lack of immigrants during the COVID-19 epidemic.
Economic immigrants will make up around two-thirds of individuals accepted to live in Quebec permanently, through programs such as the Quebec Skilled Worker Program and Quebec Experience Program, as well as a variety of smaller company immigration schemes.
In addition, thousands of qualified family class immigrants and refugees will be admitted to Quebec.
