International students: there is no longer a dedicated “PEQ–Graduate” path to a CSQ. To seek PR in Québec, new grads must now compete under the PSTQ (points grid via Arrima). Action items: keep your French strong, line up skilled work in-province, and update your Arrima profile.

FR :
Étudiants internationaux : il n’existe plus de voie “PEQ-Diplômés” vers le CSQ. Pour la RP au Québec, les nouveaux diplômés doivent désormais passer par le PSTQ (grille de points via Arrima). À faire : renforcer le français, cibler un emploi qualifié au Québec et mettre à jour votre profil Arrima.

Québec ends the PEQ on Nov 19, 2025. From now on, the PSTQ (Arrima) is the main route to permanent selection. PEQ files already submitted will still be processed, but no new PEQ applications are accepted.

FR :
Fin du PEQ au 19 novembre 2025. Désormais, la voie principale est le PSTQ (Arrima). Les demandes PEQ déjà déposées continuent d’être traitées, mais aucune nouvelle demande PEQ n’est acceptée.

IMMIGRATION AU QUEBEC- CANADA:

Saviez-vous que le Québec est actuellement en train de sélectionner des candidats dont les profils correspondent aux besoins du marché du travail et selon leur potentiel d’intégration dans la société québécoise?

Tandis que le gouvernement fédéral canadien a suspendu, il y a presque un an, le programme de sélection des travailleurs qualifiés étrangers (Entrée Express), le Québec continue toujours de sélectionner des candidats étrangers, même en l’absence d’une offre d’emploi permanent de la part d’un employeur québécois.

Si vous avez des résultats de TCF obtenus récemment, vous pourriez éventuellement être éligibles à déposer une demande d’immigration auprès du gouvernement québécois.

N’attendez plus et profitez de la chance qui vous est offerte aujourd’hui car votre avenir pourrait en dépendre.

Contactez-nous pour demander une consultation et/ou déposer un dossier d’immigration à l’adresse électronique suivante : [email protected] ou par téléphone au : +15149352685 (WhatsApp) ou au numéro: +96179323586.

IMMIGRATION TO CANADA MADE EASIER

Looking for a direct route to legally acquire permanent residence in CANADA as well as the citizenship and pass it on to your children? Ever wished to immigrate but couldn’t apply through regular immigration programs for skilled workers either because of your age, your language skills or university degrees?

Do you have the intention or have the ability of establishing and operating a new business on your own?

You can consider applying today as an investor, entrepreneur or self-employed, all depending on your personal net worth.

While the various immigration programs for skilled workers and self-employed people are aimed at young individuals who have specific language skills, degrees and relevant work experience, the business immigration options seem way more suited for high net worth individuals/entrepreneurs who intend to establish and operate a business in Canada and live there.

Need advice and assistance? We can help you in your process and make you qualify for a temporary work visa (thus making you eligible later on to become a permanent resident under a suitable immigration program or provincial nominee program).

Contact us for a free preliminary assessment and consultation by sending us an email to: [email protected] ; or calling us on the following number : +15149352685 or clicking on the “contact us” button. We speak arabic and french as well.



Worth knowing : Canada is ranked number 1 choice for new immigrants because it offers many unmatchable benefits for citizens and permanent residents, ranging from important job opportunities to enhanced access to healthcare and social benefits as well as affordable first-class educational system and income upon retirement, all this in addition to having as an unequalled quality of life.
