On 21 March 2012, the Minister of Immigration and Cultural Communities has come
to a decision regarding the intake of applications for selection certificates. Pursuant
to the decision, the Minister determines the maximum number of applications that
some economic immigration candidates will be allowed to submit.
This decision is taken pending adoption by the National Assembly of Québec of a
bill, as announced by the Minister of Finance in his Budget Speech of 20 March 2012,
that would contain a provision, retroactive to 20 March 2012, authorizing the Minister
of Immigration and Cultural Communities to make such determination.
