The Quebec government announced today the quota of 3500 for applications submitted by post under the Quebec skilled worker program (QSWP), was reached. The program capped out in only 5 days. This follows the launch of the 2015/16 application session on November 4th, with Quebec planning to receive 6300 applications. The period of reception for applications will operate under two systems.

Beginning November 4th 2015 - a maximum of 3500 applications submitted by post has been received.

Beginning January 18, 2016 - a maximum of 2800 applications will be accepted via the internet.

If previous indicators are a valid measure, Quebec's quota of 6300 applications under the QSWP, will fill quickly. However applicants with a valid job offer, previous work experience in Quebec or having completed a valid period of study in Quebec may also qualify under the Quebec Experience Program and would not be subject to the skilled worker program quota.
