Quebec鈥檚 minist猫re de l鈥橧mmigration, de la Francisation et de l鈥橧nt茅gration (MIFI) will resume processing CAQ applications impacted by a recent suspension order.
On December 30, 2020,聽 MIFI issued a ministerial order suspending the processing of (CAQ) applications for international students attending 10 specific private colleges under investigation by the Ministry of聽 Higher Education. Individuals who wish to study in Quebec are usually required to obtain a CAQ and study permit.
MIFI that it was in the public interest to suspend, until April 1, 2021, the receipt and processing of applications for temporary selection for studies submitted by international students admitted to or enrolled in one of the 10 educational institutions currently being audited by the Ministry of Higher Education.
A number of the (DLIs) affected by that decision, namely Canada College, CDI, and the Montr茅al Campus of C茅gep de la Gasp茅sie et des 脦les, appealed the decision to the Quebec Superior Court and were able to successfully secure injunctions against the policy.
DLIs are educational institutions approved by the Quebec government to welcome international students.
The Superior Court stated in a decision rendered on January 11, 2021 鈥渢hat the Ministry鈥檚 mistrust of these programs is not unreasonable, but that the suspension constitutes a significant inconvenience for these students who have organized their lives in order to study in Qu茅bec this winter.鈥�
It also ordered MIFI to resume the processing of these applications and renewals.
The court decision means that thousands of students who would not have been able to obtain a study permit will now be able to undertake or continue their studies in Quebec over the coming months.
Any foreign student who wishes to study in Qu茅bec must first choose a program of study and a designated learning institution, and then obtain admission to the program of study of his or her choice. Once they receive a letter of acceptance, the student must apply for a CAQ, which is required for studies of more than six months.
