2023 Consultations: Immigration Planning in Québec for the 2024–2027 Period
As part of Québec’s immigration planning for the 2024–2027 period, we submitted a brief.
Main Requests
Amend sponsorship laws to allow greater legal and financial independence for sponsored individuals;
Create a new mechanism to regularize the status of sponsored individuals who have lost their immigration status due to separation or situations of domestic and intimate partner violence;
Accelerate the processing times for family sponsorship applications, which are reportedly twice as long in Québec as in the rest of Canada according to IRCC;
Increase the number of CSQ Détresse issued, given the urgent and sensitive nature of these applications, and allocate the necessary human and financial resources to accelerate their processing times;
Provide statistics and data regarding the “other immigrants” category, including CSQ Détresse;
Grant all foreign workers open work permits, giving them the same rights as local workers, and thereby abolish and replace the “closed work permit” system, which violates human rights and freedom and leaves foreign workers vulnerable to exploitation;
Allow workers who currently hold a closed work permit and have experienced employer abuse to transition more quickly to an open work permit;
To avoid double penalization for the same offense and the loss of temporary resident status for minor infractions, we propose amending the wording of Section 36 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act as follows, and seek the support of the Québec Parliament to raise this issue with the federal government:
(1) The following acts result in a territory ban for serious criminality:
a) Being convicted in Canada of an offense under a federal law punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least ten years, committed as a criminal act, or of an offense under a federal law for which a term of imprisonment exceeding six months is imposed;
Support the regularization program to be announced soon by the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC);
Advocate to the federal government to suspend deportation measures during the humanitarian permanent residence application process and grant the same rights as those provided during an asylum claim;
Give greater consideration to a humanitarian approach in the development of immigration policies;
Provide greater support to organizations working to ensure access to justice.
