About Quebec Experience Class (PEQ)

I know that for QFSW programs, applicants have to be within the preferred "Area of Training" to be eligible.

Then how about PEQ? For example, if I work in Quebec for more than 1 year, but in the area beyond "Area of Training" eligible for QFSW, then can I still apply for PEQ?

It looks like PEQ does not mention the Area of Training.

Hello everyone

Could someone kindly offer me some information here?

Most likely, yes, I would think so. We applied under PEQ after full time studies in Quebec for four years. No area of training info was necessary and we got CSQ within two weeks.

PEQ does not specify areas of training for Quebec students for sure. However, for Quebec workers, they have requirements:

• have occupied a full-time job at the management, professional or technical level for at least 12 of the 24 months preceding the submission of your application;
• occupy a full-time job at the management, professional or technical level (levels O, A or B under the National Occupational Classification) at the time of submission of your application;

For more information, you can go to the website of Immigration Quebec, under Conditions and Procedures of PEQ worker. Good luck

Thanks, Sindyxinli

Your response basically means there is no "area of training" for PEQ worker program too. This is because the NOC classification and "area of training" are two different things. The latter means the jobs that Quebec needs most and these surely will fall into the skilled NOC classification, whereas there are tons of skilled professions (i.e. NOC level 0, A or B) that Quebec does not need (and thus cannot apply through Quebec Federal Worker Program)
