Quebec slashes immigration pathways, forcing thousands to leave
Quebec has abruptly scrapped its key immigration route, the Quebec Experience Program (PEQ), while sharply lowering future immigration thresholds—meaning thousands of temporary residents, including many French families, must now leave the province. The government argues that temporary immigrants are straining public services, while affected workers, business leaders, and opposition parties warn the reform will damage the economy and are urging a grandfather clause. Federally, Canada also plans to cut temporary immigration by over 40% this year.
