Study in Quebec or elsewhere in Canada?

You are considering studying in Canada to apply for the PEQ (Programme de l’experience quebecoise)?

Even if you plan to apply to a program in English, you will be required to prove your ability to speak an intermediate level of French at the time of your application. Your application will be refused if you fail to meet the level of proficiency required.

Once you graduate from a Canadian education program, you are eligible to apply for a post graduate work permit. This work permit, if approved, will be valid for the duration of your studies.

The PEQ ( Programme de l’Experience Quebecoise ) can also be entered through a Worker Stream system. If you have worked full time for a period ( at least 24 or over 24 ? ) of 24 months, for which you have been paid, in Quebec, for a Quebec employer and can demonstrate an intermediate level of French, you can apply for the PEQ.

Take note that the primary criteria will be to demonstrate your French proficiency. You will have to show a strong commitment to learning French. If this is not your case, I strongly advise you to study in another province of Canada and apply to the Federal Skilled Worker program or the Canadian Experience program, to increase your chances of success in your immigration process.
