The Programme de l'experience quebecoise is aimed at temporary foreign workers and at foreign students who graduated in Quebec.

Limits of the record
  • The sentence describes the programme as a whole, covering both of its streams; the capture's only text specific to the temporary foreign workers stream is the reception criterion in the reopening notice.
  • The capture does not describe the occupation, sector or employment situation beyond the status 'temporary foreign worker'.
  • chars 385-522
    Ce programme s’adresse aux travailleuses et travailleurs étrangers temporaires, aux étudiantes et étudiants étrangers diplômés du Québec.

Does the applicant need a job offer, employer, sponsor, transfer relationship or other employer involvement? What is important about that employer relationship?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the employer, sponsor or transfer relationship required.

What are the few decisive professional characteristics of the pathway: occupation, qualifications, experience, salary, skill level, shortage status, labour-market condition or equivalent?

For the temporary foreign workers stream the decisive characteristic is Quebec work experience: at least two years of work experience in Quebec in an occupation in NOC 'Formation, etudes, experience, responsabilites' category 0, 1, 2 or 3, held as at 19 November 2025, is the reception criterion for an application to be accepted.

Limits of the record
  • These are the 'criteres de reception' set for the temporary reopening, not the programme's full selection conditions; the 'Conditions de selection' page is only a navigation card in this capture.
  • The quotation also carries the criterion for the other stream (Diplomes du Quebec); only the Travailleurs etrangers temporaires line is used here.
  • No language level, age, education or salary requirement appears in the capture.
  • chars 1155-1842
    Pour qu’une demande de sélection soit reçue, les personnes devront répondre aux critères de réception suivants : Pour le volet Diplômés du Québec : avoir obtenu, au Québec, un baccalauréat, une maîtrise ou un doctorat, un diplôme d’études collégiales techniques, un diplôme d’études professionnelles, seul ou suivi d’une attestation de spécialisation professionnelle, d’au moins 1 800 heures, en date du 19 novembre 2025 ; Pour le volet Travailleurs étrangers temporaires : avoir une expérience de travail au Québec de catégorie « Formation, études, expérience, responsabilités » 0, 1, 2 ou 3 au sens de la CNP d’une durée d’au moins deux ans, en date du 19 novembre 2025

What work does the permission allow? Is the holder tied to an employer, occupation or sector? Can family accompany where clearly established?

The checked official sources did not provide enough route-specific evidence to confirm the work allowed, any tie to employer or sector and family accompaniment.

How long is the permission normally granted for, how is it renewed, and what longer-term residence direction exists if officially stated?

The officially stated direction is Quebec permanent selection, inside a fixed window: the PEQ is reopened for two years, from 2 July 2026 to 2 July 2028, with the same selection conditions that applied before each stream was suspended, and a demande de selection permanente may be received in either stream from 2 July to 31 October 2026. The official source does not state the duration or renewal of any permission.

Limits of the record
  • These dates are the programme's own open and closed window, not the length of any permission: the capture states no permit duration and no renewal.
  • The step after the Certificat de selection du Quebec appears only as a navigation card, with no content behind it in the capture.
  • chars 623-1152
    Le PEQ sera rouvert pour une période de deux ans, du 2 juillet 2026 au 2 juillet 2028. Les conditions de sélection du programme sont les mêmes que celles qui s’appliquaient aux candidates et aux candidats avant la suspension de chaque volet. Afin de favoriser le respect des cibles en matière d’immigration, le ministre a pris une décision de gestion des demandes, suivant laquelle une demande de sélection permanente pourra être reçue dans l’un ou l’autre des deux volets de ce programme du 2 juillet au 31 octobre 2026
