PEQ

The PEQ (Programme de l’expérience québécoise)  is an accelerated program for selecting skilled workers. PEQ allows individuals to obtain a CSQ (Certificat de sélection) du Québec, then a permanent residence. This program is intended for Québec graduates and temporary foreign workers who hold a skilled job and who meet certain conditions, such as advanced intermediate knowledge of spoken French. The PEQ does not involve a selection grid and does not take into account the spouse’s or de facto spouse’s characteristics。 There are TWO SUBCLASSES:

• Québec Graduates-PEQ
