Quebec held a new selection round under its Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ) on June 4, inviting 2,549 candidates across all four streams. The draw included candidates in different profiles, with the largest share going to workers with highly qualified and specialized skills.
What this update means
This is a confirmed provincial selection round, which means Quebec continues to use the PSTQ to identify candidates who may be eligible to apply for permanent selection. The invitation numbers show that Quebec is still drawing from multiple streams rather than focusing on only one type of profile.
Key details from the draw
- Total invitations issued: 2,549
- Date of draw: June 4
- Program: Quebec Skilled Worker Selection Program (PSTQ)
- Streams included: all four PSTQ streams
- Largest share of invitations: highly qualified and specialized skills workers
Because Quebec immigration selections are stream-specific, the practical effect depends on the candidate’s profile, work history, language ability, and other program criteria. The public update does not provide enough detail to say which individual applicants are most likely to receive an invitation in future rounds.
Possible impact for applicants
For candidates already in Quebec’s selection system, this draw may be a sign that the province is continuing regular activity under PSTQ. For others, it is a reminder that Quebec’s immigration process is separate from federal programs and has its own eligibility rules.
Applicants who are not invited in one round may still remain eligible for future selection if their profile continues to match the program’s requirements. However, no draw result can be used to predict an outcome for any specific person.
What applicants should do next
- Review the current PSTQ criteria and confirm which stream, if any, matches your profile.
- Check whether your information in the Quebec immigration system is accurate and up to date.
- Monitor official Quebec immigration announcements for future selection rounds.
- If you receive an invitation, review the deadline and submission requirements carefully before responding.
- Seek professional guidance if you are unsure how Quebec’s selection rules apply to your case.
