Immigration figures to Quebec can reach 52,500 by 2022 as per the latest proposals unveiled by the Government of Quebec on 7th June. It implies a hike of 10,500 new immigrants in comparison with 2019 with 42,000. It marks a return to almost the immigration levels in place earlier. This is prior to the CAQ - Coalition Avenir Québec government being elected in October 2018.
The proposals
unveiled on last Friday will be the basis of immigration public hearings that
commence from 12th August. The CAQ had previously launched provisional decrease
to its migration levels by the end of 2018. This was as a part of its promise
made during the elections. It was to address concerns that the immigrants are not assimilating into the province
with French-speaking majority.
MIDI said that
the foundations for these reforms are now in place. However, the exact programs
and policies for enacting them and achieving results are not, it added.
We thus envision
a steady hike of 3,000 to 4,000 new immigrants annually during 2020 and 2022,
said MIDI. This is to permit both the civil society and the state to provide
all migrants to the province. It is with the required tools for successfully assimilating into the Quebec society,
added MIDI.
The Government
of Quebec aims to achieve an immigration level of 49, 500 to 52,500 by 2022.
Out of this, 65% will be chosen through
economic-class immigration programs of Quebec. This is in comparison with
595 in 2019, as quoted by the CIC News.
The new document
also outlines several other proposals such as:
• Favouring overseas workers and citizens who have a degree in Quebec, fulfil
the labour market needs of the province and are already residing here as
Provisional Residents
• Preference for skilled applicants with a
validated job offer or in-demand
training who fulfil Quebec’s short-term labour market needs
• Speed up the arrival of immigrants in
economic-class for responding to labour market needs of Quebec faster
• Supporting efforts of all Quebec region
employers for hiring temporary overseas
workers by cutting delays prior to their arrival and facilitating processes
to cater to the needs of the workforce
• To promote choosing immigrants with
knowledge of values enshrined in the Charter
of Human Rights and Freedoms and democratic values of Quebec
• Increasing the number of French-speaking adult immigrants by
expanding access to French language training administered by Government
