Quebec Offers A Fast Immigration Pathway To Canada For Global Students

25 Jan 2018

The Government in Québec has the policy to encourage overseas workers of Quebec and global students who complete the program of post-secondary academics in the province, to remain permanently in it by using the Québec Experience Program (PEQ).

PEQ is a simple and fast-track process which leads to getting the permanent residence status for these two categories. The program permits international students and temporary foreign workers to submit an application for seeking permanent residence status from within Québec when they complete approved studies or tenure of qualified workers.

The Graduate Studies Stream of the program facilitates qualified international students, who are on a valid study permit, to submit a PR application when they successfully complete approved full-time studies covering an eligible study program in Quebec.

All Applications submitted in this stream get a priority status and are concluded in less than a year.

Global students, who need required finances and want to meet other qualifications, must initially get admission to an eligible study program and also need to obtain a study permit for pursuing studies in Canada.

Conditions for qualifying in the Graduate Quebec Studies Stream in the Quebec PEQ program are:

The candidates must be aged 18 years, and have a valid passport and, when they submit an application from within Canada; they must be a legal resident of Québec.

The time to submit an application

Please submit your application six months prior to the date you wish to receive attestation of successful completion/diploma. Moreover, it should not be later than 36 months subsequent to the receipt of a diploma.

Financial Requirements

For pursuing studies in the province, an evidence of unencumbered obtainable funds is needed for covering expenses related to tuition and living.

The proof of funding can be given with:

• Bank statements for six months demonstrating sufficient funds supporting the studies and also a proof of paying tuition and housing fees;
• Bank statements from a relative demonstrating adequate funds supporting the studies and a financial support confirming letter from the relative;
• Proof of funding from within Canada, when a scholarship is given in an educational program funded in Canada.

The estimate of Tuition is $15,000 annually. The amount varies depending on institutions/study programs.
