- From July 2, 2026, until July 2, 2028, the PEQ (student and worker streams) will be open. However, to submit an application, applicants must wait for the application submission periods, which will be opened at the discretion of the Quebec government;
- The first application submission period runs from July 2, 2026, to October 31, 2026.
SII and SRI were promptly informed of this positive development by our in-house authorized immigration consultants immediately after the legal resolution was published. We will act quickly to support clients with workers who are already eligible so they can submit their applications during the first filing period, and also to assist you in advancing the applications of workers who will become eligible in the medium to long term.
You can consult the explanatory document published by the Quebec government, which quite transparently outlines the essential points of the reopened PEQ.
The purpose of this initial communication is to confirm that we are aware of this positive news and that we will respond quickly to assist you.
