US EditionQuebec 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.
- Quebec stopped accepting new applications to sponsor spouses, common-law partners, and adult dependent children effective July 9, 2025, due to reaching its cap.
- This pause aligns with a policy introduced on June 26, 2024, which limits the number of approved family sponsorship undertakings to 13,000 between June 2024 and June 25, 2026.
- Quebec continues to accept applications for sponsoring parents, grandparents, other relatives, children under 18, and adult children dependent on disability under a unique provincial process.
- Any new applications for sponsorship in the affected categories will be returned unprocessed with refunded fees, and Quebeckers cannot obtain Quebec Selection Certificates for these cases.
- This moratorium is set to remain until June 25, 2026, forcing families of immigrants to wait until then before applying again for sponsorship in these categories.
