Immigration to Quebec is going to be on another level - as the "La Belle Province” plans on inviting roughly 71,275 new permanent residents– to fill in the gaps in the Quebec jobs in demand list.
The numbers have soared up more than 41.7% from just 50,285 candidates being invited in 2022 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. Quebec’s Immigration Minister Jean Boulet downplayed this year’s boost in immigration to the province in an interview with the French-language Radio Canada television network.
