On December 8, 2022, Quebec released the Quebec Immigration Plan for 2023, the same as the immigration plan for 2022. Quebec plans to welcome up to 52,500 new permanent residents in 2023. Most of these admissions will come through the province’s economic immigration programs, such as the Quebec Skilled Worker Program and the Quebec experience program. The economic category is the predominant proportion of immigrants, representing up to 65% of planned admissions, with a target number of 33,900. In addition, the province will accept as many as 29,500 skilled workers and 4,300 business persons, including investors, entrepreneurs, and self-employed persons under this category. In addition, an estimated 18,100 new permanent residents are expected to arrive through refugee resettlement and family reunification programs.
