Possible changes to Immigration to Quebec.
This article might be worth reading if you are in the process of having submitted an application for PR in Quebec or thinking of it. Its not a done deal but if introduced then may have ramifications.
The Coalition Avenir Québec government is planning to throw out a backlog of 18,000 applications from skilled workers who want to come to Quebec and make a host of other changes to the province's immigration laws, emphasizing French language skills and regional labour needs.
Under the bill, titled, "An Act to increase Quebec's socio-economic prosperity and adequately meet labour market needs through successful immigrant integration," any application prior to Aug. 2, 2018 will be made void.

Re: Possible changes to Immigration to Quebec.
The last thing Quebec needs to do is increase the requirements for regular skilled workers - they need to address the ongoing abuse of the investor class route (by stopping it ideally).
