Quebec announced a new immigration strategy for 2026-2029 with reduced intake targets

Quebec's Minister of Immigration, Francization and Integration has introduced the province's immigration framework for 2026-2029, alongside the detailed 2026 Immigration Plan. The strategy aims to limit both temporary and permanent immigration volumes to ease pressure on the province's integration capacity. Quebec will welcome 45,000 permanent residents in 2026, while also admitting between 84,900 and 124,200 temporary residents through the Temporary Foreign Worker and International Student programs. Key changes include making the Skilled Worker Selection Program the sole pathway for permanent skilled worker immigration, phasing out the Quebec Experience Program by November 19, 2025, and introducing French language proficiency requirements for temporary foreign workers.
