Quebec won't accept some applications for sponsorship of immigrants until 2026

QUEBEC, CANADA, JUL 9 – Quebec reached its sponsorship cap after approving over 26,500 spousal and adult child applications since 2022, limiting new applications until mid-2026, officials said.

  • The Quebec government stopped accepting new sponsorship applications for spouses, partners, and adult children by June 25, 2026.
  • This decision followed Premier Francois Legault's August 20, 2024 announcement to cut immigration and a cap on family sponsorships set last year.
  • The government plans to handle up to 13,000 immigrant family reunification applications between June 2024 and 2026, addressing current wait times of 37 months for sponsorships in Quebec.
  • More than 16,500 family applications were approved in 2022, and Quebec continues accepting sponsorships for other family members, including children under 18.
  • These measures imply extended delays in family reunification while Quebec focuses immigration on reduced quotas and certain family categories.
