Choosing to stay in Québec permanently

You are a international student in Québec and wish to settle here permanently.

You usually have to apply for permanent immigration from your country of provenance (country of origin or last residence). This requirement is made more flexible for international students who are already in Québec.

 

N.B.: This section does not apply to international students on a scholarship who undertook to return to their country after completing their program of study in Québec.
