Quebec excludes non-francophones from entrepreneur and self-employed immigration pathways

Starting December 28, Quebec has declared that applications for the Quebec Entrepreneur Program (QEP) and the Quebec Self-Employed Program (QSP) will no longer be accepted by those who are not proficient in French. The new amendments affected QEP candidates who receive assistance from a business accelerator, an incubator, or a university entrepreneurship centre and those who would like to open and manage a business in the province. These programs will remain open; however, applications from non-francophones will not be accepted as Quebec takes action to ensure the French language and culture are protected among its citizens.
