Quebec 2023 Immigration Plan

The Quebec Immigration Level Plan for 2023 was released on December 8, 2022.
The targets for the new Quebec Immigration Level Plan for 2023 will seek to welcome 52,500 new permanent residents.

Most new immigrants to Quebec in 2023 will come through the province’s economic immigration programs, including the Quebec Skilled Worker Program (QSWP) and the Québec experience program (PEQ).

The 2023 Quebec Immigration Level Plan stays close to the 2022 plan as earlier this year, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) won a second term as the governing party, with a strong majority.
One of the key interests of the CAQ party is to protect the French language in Quebec and the 2023 plan focuses on selecting immigrants who already speak French.
The Ministry of Immigration, Francization, and Integration expect that 79% of economic immigrants in 2023 will have knowledge of the French language, as well as 66% of immigrants across all categories.
