As of January 16, 2025, the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI) has discontinued issuing invitation letters to Quebec Selection Certificate (CSQ) holders currently residing outside Quebec who wish to apply for work permits under administrative code A76. Immigration authorities will continue processing applications with MIFI invitation letters dated on or before January 15, 2025. Applicants should note that they must submit their work permit applications within 90 days of receiving the MIFI letter. This policy change has a significant impact on immigration pathways for prospective Quebec immigrants currently abroad.
