Immigration to Quebec page. The Ministry of Immigration, Francisation and Integration is responsible for immigration to Quebec.
History and Issues
editThe Ministry of Immigration, Diversity, and Inclusion was founded on 1968.
On 5 February 1991, the Canada–Québec Accord relating to Immigration and Temporary Admission of Aliens was concluded, giving Quebec more power in the selection of immigrants by offering federal transfers of funds for integration of these, and guaranteeing Quebec an immigration rate proportional to its demographic weight in Canada.[1]
Quebec's premier Francois Legault is opposed to a plan by Century Initiative lobby group which wants to increase immigration in Canada, saying that "it constitutes a threat to Quebec". The Parti Québécois party is opposed to the plan as well.[2][3][4]
Langauge fears
editPremier Legault caused some controversy in 2022, when he stated that Quebec risked losing French as an official language if Quebec didn’t have more control over immigration policy. He compared it to the U.S. state of Louisiana which once spoke French as a majority.[5][6][7]
immigration powers
editDuring the 2022 Quebec general election, the Coalition Avenir Québec (CAQ) government of François Legault campaigned on getting more immigration powers from the federal government to Quebec.[8][9] Legault has raised the idea of having a referendum on immigration powers,[10][11][12] a pledge that was repeated after the party has increased its majority.[13][14]
On March 15 2024, Quebec Premier François Legault met with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to ask him to give Quebec total control over immigration powers, which Trudeau rejected.[15][16][17]
On April 9 2024, Quebec Premier François Legault said Quebec might hold a referendum on immigration powers if Prime Minister Justin Trudeau does not give the province more immigration powers.[18][19][20]
