Quebec's National Assembly sat into the early hours of Sunday morning to eventually pass Bill 9, controversial immigration legislation that means 16,000 skilled worker applications will be scrapped.

It took a 19-hour session enforced by the ruling Coalition Avenir Quebec for the bill to become law at 4am on Sunday, June 16.

When it was first introduced, Bill 9 sought to scrap 18,000 immigration applications, affecting more than 40,000 people. Since then, roughly 2,000 have been processed following a ruling by the Quebec Superior Court in February.
