Hi,

I graduated with a DEP in technical support of 1800h this summer but unfortunatly didn't have time to apply for CSQ on time. I am currently working in my field as well.
I didn't see my program in the list above, so mean I can't apply to the CSQ? that's really annoying

you cannot apply through PEQ program, but you can apply through regular CSQ program.

you mean using Arima ? so I am currently working since 4 month in my field, I speak french and english, my brother is citizen here and I am 23 years old so not much experience as I just graduated.
Thanks for any advice regarding that as I don't want to wait until I get 1 year experience then be surprised that government cancelled or changed PEQ again.

Updates for people already in quebec seeking a CSQ through PEQ

(Québec) François Legault reconnaît avoir mal évalué l’impact de sa réforme de l’immigration. Québec fait marche arrière et accorde aux étudiants et travailleurs temporaires étrangers qui déposeront une demande au Programme de l’expérience québécoise (PEQ) un droit acquis pour qu’ils soient jugés selon les anciens critères s’ils ont débuté leur programme d’étude ou leur emploi avant le 1er novembre.

Hi - If I got a masters in Media Studies from Concordia University's Communication and Journalism department, does that mean that I'm not eligible for the PEQ Graduate program?

All these changes are making me panic.

Dear Kuangnam,

My name is Martin Patriquin. I am the recently-hired Quebec correspondent with The Logic (https://thelogic.co), which reports on Canada's hi tech and artificial intelligence sectors.

I'm writing a story about the Quebec government's attempts to change the criteria to the PEQ program, and the effect of these attempts on the people studying and working here.

I would love to hear about your experiences here in Quebec, and how these changes would have affected you. Do you think we could chat?

My email is martin.patriquin[at]thelogic.co

Hope to hear from you soon.
