Founder's Update

The Québec Experience Program (PEQ), intended for temporary foreign workers and graduates from Québec, will end on November 19, 2025. New applications are no longer accepted, but previously submitted ones will still be processed by the Ministry of Immigration, Francization and Integration. Those seeking to stay in Québec permanently can instead submit their interest through Arrima, under the Québec Skilled Worker Program.

According to the Government of Canada, international students can benefit from world-class education, faster application processing for doctoral programs, and opportunities to bring their families while studying in Canada. With top-ranked universities, no caps on certain graduate programs starting January 2026, and pathways to stay and work after graduation, Canada remains a leading destination for master’s and doctoral students seeking global research and career opportunities.

The Government of Canada’s 2026–2028 Immigration Levels Plan focuses on sustainable growth while supporting economic needs, family reunification, and humanitarian commitments. Temporary resident arrivals will be capped at 385,000 in 2026 and 370,000 in 2027–2028, while permanent resident admissions will stabilize at 380,000 annually, with the majority in economic categories and pathways for temporary residents to transition to permanent status. The plan strengthens Francophone communities, dedicates 21–22% of admissions to family reunification, and 13% to refugees. One-time measures will transition 115,000 Protected Persons and up to 33,000 temporary workers to permanent residency, ensuring fairness and stability in the system.

On October 8, 2025, Hinotori Consulting Solutions participated in the Bow Valley College Fall Career Boost, connecting with students to share career insights and opportunities. Our main goal was to support international students, especially those unable to use their PGWP, by providing guidance and alternative pathways for professional growth. It was an inspiring day of learning, networking, and empowering future professionals.
