- The Quebec government stopped accepting new sponsorship applications for spouses, partners, and adult children by June 25, 2026.

- 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.
