Quebec Issues Additional Invitations Under Special Regulations

In addition to the regular invitation rounds, the Quebec PNP has issued a limited number of invitations under special regulatory provisions. Since January 1, 2026, the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francization et de l’Intégration has invited 13 individuals to apply for permanent selection in accordance with Section 26 of the Québec Immigration Regulation and Section 47 of the Québec Immigration Act.

These provisions enable the province to select candidates in exceptional cases or to address specific economic and social priorities beyond standard draws.

At the same time, the Quebec PNP program maintains strict eligibility rules for certain occupations. Individuals whose primary occupation requires Canadian citizenship or permanent residence are not eligible to receive invitations.

As a result, the following occupations are excluded from all invitation exercises:

• 40040 Commissioned police officers and related occupations in public protection services
• 40042 Commissioned officers of the Canadian Armed Forces
• 41310 Police investigators and other investigative occupations
• 42100 Police officers (except commissioned)
• 42102 Specialized members of the Canadian Armed Forces
• 43204 Operations Members of the Canadian Armed Forces
• 44200 Primary combat members of the Canadian Armed Forces

These measures ensure that Quebec’s immigration process remains compliant with legal requirements while focusing on candidates who can actively participate in the province’s labour market.
