New Work Permit Option for Permanent Resident Applicants

New Work Permit Option for Permanent Resident Applicants

Only for those who have received an invitation from the province of Quebec.

Foreign professionals who are invited by Quebec and are overseas may not have to wait for approval of their permanent residency applications by Immigration Canada. As of May 24, 2022, they are eligible to apply for the International Mobility Program Plus (IMP+), a three-year open work permit in Quebec that will be issued more quickly.

In order to obtain this permission, it is required:

An open work permit allows you to work for any company in Quebec, to quit your job if something goes wrong, and to apply for any other company. Family members accompanying the principal applicant will also receive open work permits, and children and students will receive study permits.

In 2022, no more than 14,700 IMP+ will be issued, which is how many people have received Quebec Selection Certificates in the past few years. From 2023, the annual application limit will be 7,350.
